Fishing a tiny football jig with a Strike King Baby Luau Craw trailer is one of the most overlooked ways to target big spotted bass during winter and into the prespawn transition. In this video I break down when to fish it, where to fish it, and how to fish it to get the most out of cold-water spotted bass behavior.
Topics Covered:
• Winter vs. prespawn spotted bass movement
• Bottom-contact jig cadence + retrieves
• Ideal structure + depth zones
• Water temps + weather windows
• Why the small profile matters
• Gear setup + line choice
Primary Bait: Strike King Baby Luau Craw
Application: Bottom contact, clear water, cold temps
Target: Spotted Bass and Smallmouth Bass
If you fish highland reservoirs, clear mountain lakes, or anywhere with spotted bass, don’t sleep on this little jig. It flat out catches them when nothing else will.
