Big bass still eat during the winter time! On this trip I focused on finding the bait balls of shad and working the flash mob at that depth. Despite the cold water, I throw the flash mob on braid with belly weighted swimbait hooks. The fish were in 10' of water and running shad. Using livescope I was able to target that exact depth and watch the fish eat my umbrella rig! I believe the yum flash mob jr will catch them during every season of the year if the bass are in feeding mode. Go pick yours up today!
