Weedless Swim Bait

[5 Dollar Fishing Game]

I love the swim baits I have but here in NC the hydrangea is growing with the other green under the water. I use a lot of weedless stuff too, but I like my minnows. They catch the snot grass ALL the time. Do they have weedless minnows or can I make one of mine weedless?

I can puppet a minnow pretty effectively (toot toot) and the bass love it. I need a weedless option for these little guys. ;-)

use a weighted swimbait hook. it is an EWG hook with a piece of lead molded onto the shank of the hook.

Ok. I'll try that. :-)

I throw swim baits on the back of a swimjig and i can get that through about anything. Of course there is always the mission fish too

I have been having good success in the grass with swim jigs and also money minnows on a weighted screw lock hook that i then slather up with some bio edge wand scent that seems to help them slide through cover better.

Good idea with the lubricant. ;-)

The Huddleston Grass Minnow ( as well as the weedless shad) is a top notch weedless swim bait that produces well.

strike king shadalicious t rigged on a weighted swimbait hook, huddleston weedless shad, swimbait as a swim jig trailer. All very effective for me
