here's a video of a few guys wackin some nice smallies at candlewood lake in CT on keitech swimbaits in 37 deg water. This is another bait that seems to work pretty well in really cold water and these guys show you how to fish it this time of year, it's a long video but if you have some time check it out http://youtu.be/gXmEQzm01zA
yeah, it seems like a good way to put a few chunkers in the boat this time of year. I've tried it a few times but not for more than a few minutes here and there, so i guess i haven't really given it enough time to see if it really works, but they sure do pretty good on it!
Baits are deadly, most people don't use them right, well atleast not to their full potential. Super glue on a jig head and they hold up much longer. They're soft but i really thinks it helps once the fish bite.
