Shane Lehew is on a clear water lake in the south with spotted bass and largemouth. It's winter, snow on the ground, and the water temps are about as cold as they get in this region. The umbrella rig (aka Alabama rig) is a popular choice in cold water and Shane is here to share tips on how to fish an umbrella rig in the winter and early spring months. Shane shares the 2 sizes of A-rigs he fishes, the jigheads and baits (as well as his preferred colors) before heading out in search of bass. After covering the tackle, Shane locates some docks near channel swings and picks off some bass looking for an easy meal. Watch this on the water bass fishing class to learn how Shane fishes an umbrella rig, how he uses his Garmin electronics to identiffy hungry bass and how he quickly eliminates unproductive water.
