- GP 1 Summary:
- The Cold-Water Slow-Roll Spinnerbait Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 3/4 oz • Single Colorado • Chartreuse White • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- The 3/4 oz build and single Colorado blade are a strong cold-water combination, allowing the bait to stay deep and move slowly while still producing steady vibration.
- GP 1 How:
- Slow-roll it along the bottom, moving it only fast enough to keep the blade turning. Keep the bait close to bottom structure and cover where cold-water bass are holding.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose it in water 50°F and below when bass are less willing to chase and a slow, bottom-oriented spinnerbait presentation is needed.

- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Cold-Water Baitfish Spinnerbait Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Tandem Indiana • White Nato • Metallic Red Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- The 1/2 oz build and tandem Indiana blades let you fish slowly while still producing steady flash and vibration. White Nato gives it a strong baitfish profile, with the red kicker adding a small accent.
- GP 2 How:
- Fish it with a slow, controlled retrieve around deeper shallow cover, channel swings and other cold-water holding areas. Keep the bait moving just fast enough to maintain blade rotation.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose it in water 50°F and below when bass are relating to baitfish and you want a slower presentation with more flash than a single-blade setup.

- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Cold-Water Craw Jig Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Flex Cast Jig • 7/16 oz • Glory Craw • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- The 7/16 oz Flex Cast is a good cold-water bottom-contact option, while Glory Craw gives you a crawfish profile with enough contrast to stand out without being overly aggressive.
- GP 3 How:
- Fish it slowly along the bottom around rock, wood and other cover. Drag it more than you hop it, pause often and keep the bait in productive areas longer.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose it in water 50°F and below when bass are relating to crawfish or bottom cover and a slow, natural jig presentation is more effective than a moving bait.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The Natural Cold-Water Jig Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- Flex Cast Jig • 7/16 oz • PB&J • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- PB&J gives this jig a natural brown-and-purple crawfish profile that works especially well in cold water when bass are feeding close to the bottom.
- GP 4 How:
- Drag it slowly across rock, gravel and other bottom structure. Use short movements and long pauses, letting the jig stay in the strike zone instead of covering water quickly.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose it in water 50°F and below when bass are bottom-oriented and you want a subtle, natural crawfish presentation for slower cold-water fishing.
- GP 5 Badge:
- Expert Pick #5
- GP 5 Summary:
- The Deep Cold-Water Football Jig Pick
- GP 5 Details:
- Wow Factor Jig • 3/4 oz • Molting Craw • Football Head • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 5 Why:
- The heavier 3/4 oz football head is a strong choice for deeper cold-water structure, while Molting Craw gives the jig a natural crawfish profile and the larger skirt adds movement during pauses.
- GP 5 How:
- Drag it slowly across deep rock, points and other bottom structure. Keep contact with the bottom, use short movements and let the jig sit long enough for the skirt to keep working.
- GP 5 When:
- Choose it in water 50°F and below when bass are holding deeper and close to the bottom, especially around rock and other areas where crawfish are present.
