Heavy Cover

[Fat-G]

I've been doing a lot of flipping this summer, along with fishing a fair amount of wood cover. I just wanted to see what you guys like to use bait wise in different types of cover.

I'll break it down to:

Pads

Heavy weeds (includes matts)

Slop

Laydowns

Trees

For pads I like to flip with a 3/8-1 oz. tungsten weight, depending on how thick they are. I have found Berkley Powerbait Chigger Craws get in and out of the vegetation best, or baits of similar profile (slim and compact).

In heavy weeds I use the same thing, or a creature bait like the RT Space Monkey or Smokin' Rooster. Weight varies.

For slop I usually just throw a frog. If they won't hit that, it's a Chigger Craw again.

In wood cover I love throwing Hack Attack jigs. The hook on those babies are s-t-r-o-n-g. Of course it's tipped with a RT Craw.

All of this is thrown on a flippin' stick with 65# PP.

I don't fish much in weeds or anything like that, but I do fish some serious timber.  Google earth Lake Waco and zoom in on the north end and you will see what I mean.  I use a 6'6" HVY Allstar Custom with 50# PP.  I like to use jigs and t-rigged craws.  Cranks on occasion just be careful and don't set unless your sure its a fish, or you might be one crank short!  Spinnerbaits are always good as well.  Thats all I got!
