Nuts & Bolts of Fishing

Carbon Score: 8.4

In the wintertime, spotted bass go deep for both comfort and food. They will stack up on deep water structure like ledges, brush piles, submerged creek channels and road beds. And when the water is cold, fish prefer a slower presentation as well. The time-honored drop-shot rig provides an ideal tactic to get big spotted bass to bite, even when they are sluggish. Capt. Cefus McRae and Capt. Mack Farr share their drop-shot technique using RoboWorms on a cold winter day. This will definitely put more fish in the boat!
