Latest News March Tip Of The Month Friday, March 01, 2013 Although bass still eat during the winter, their aggressiveness plummets with their metabolism, so the traditional "tap-tap" or hard strike on jigs and plastics aren't as common. That's why missing a strike in winter is much easier. Bass pick up and spit out a lure without the angler even knowing the bait was taken. For that reason, stay focused on how the bait feels each time you move it. Be ready to set the hook at the first sign of any unusual sensation. More pros call this "weighing the line" in other words, it's an awareness of exactly how heavy a bait feels when a fish doesn't have it, so differences in the feel are detectable. Sometimes the bite might feel weightless, an indication the fish has inhaled it and is swimming towards you. Being quick to respond to changes might result in empty hook sets, but it also produces fish you otherwise would miss.
