A lot of anglers don’t think about a drop shot rig when the water’s cold. That’s too bad because late winter and early spring are good times to use this technique. The bass tend to be deep and they’re often schooled up tight. That makes them a good target for this technique.

There is a phenomenon that happens on most lakes in the fall that is called the turn over. Most anglers know it is bad. This is true. Once you know why it is and how to recognize it, you can still go fishing and catch some fish.

A few years ago, I heard about micro jigs for bass. I thought there could be good potential but did not know where to start. Enter Mike Iaconelli.
