Bass keep eating when it gets cold but they go deep and may require specialized lures and presentations to wake up and feed. SPRO lipless cranks are the answer:

SPRO Wameku Shad

Aggressive sound — tight, cold-water action

The Wameku Shad delivers a loud, deep tungsten one-knocker rattle that cuts through cold, thick water where sound matters most. Its tight vibrating action mimics the exact movement of a chilled baitfish — not fast, not flashy, just real.

Why it works in cold water:

• Tight wobble = doesn’t look “over-energetic” when bass are sluggish

• One-knocker rattle is easier for lethargic fish to track

• Cast-a-mile weight balance helps reach deep winter-holding water

• Terrific for yo-yo retrieves over ledges, rocks, and winter staging spots

Personality: Loud enough to get noticed — subtle enough to get eaten.

SPRO Aruku Shad

Bottom-crawler attitude — feeding posture trigger

The Aruku Shad is built to sit nose-down on the bottom when paused, perfectly imitating a baitfish feeding or dying — which is a major cold-water strike trigger. When you lift and drop it, it “hunts” with a natural vibration that doesn’t overpower in cold conditions.

Why it works in cold water:

• Nose-down resting posture = looks like an easy meal

• Tight, realistic shimmy doesn’t spook pressured winter bass

• Designed to crawl over rock without snagging

• Deadly on slow lifts and long pauses — where winter bites happen

Personality: The finesse-thinking lipless — subtle, natural, believable.
