In cold weather, we typically slow down how we retrieve our lures.
What we also need to consider, is how fast that lure is falling when it enters the water, and between pauses in the retrieve.
In this video I will be showing you how and why the weight of your lure might be costing you fish in the colder months.
Enjoy!

Slowing bait to.mimick the bait in area is key. I play around with different weights and retrieve til get bite, then just repeat
