Even in the colder months, a jig you fish on the bottom might not be the slow technique you thought. The right size/type jig paired with two cold water modifications, fished the correct way is your best chance at a fish of a lifetime this Winter.

Casey. Enjoyed the video on treble hooks on different hard baits. There are 2 ways to put treble hooks on the split rings. Turned one way there is a single leg of the treble down & the other 2 are up (when the lure is being retrieved & hooks are up). Rotated the other way 2 legs of the treble are down & one is up ( this is when you see a hook wear on the bottom of the lure from the single leg wearing against the lure as it it wiggles etc). If you want to make your Squarebills or most any crsnkbait come through cover much better make sure you have the treble with the single leg down & you can bend the hook inward just a bit. You can also do this to the rear hook on deep divers that you may be cranking through deep brush piles. You will be surprised how many fish still get hooked on a treble that is bent inward. The key is making the cranbait hit the cover but not hang to trigger the bites. Having the treble hooks that are “inline” lines one of the legs up in line with the eye. All trebles are not in line & these don’t line up perfectly down. The pic below shows the single leg down alignment on a squarebill. This really helps on lipless baits as to not snag the grass as bad on the from bottom hook ( if bent inward some).
