Favorite Vibration Bait Around Cover?

[Master Bait'r]

I fish near a lot of heavy junk- pads, weeds, grass etc. I love working the lanes of open water between and around them but sometimes open trebles can be a real pain.

Normally I'd use a Snagless Sally, a Supernato with a trailer hook or an owner flashy swim- something to that effect.

I'd love to hear what your favorite weed-friendly vibration bait is though- I know there's a million or so options I've never even considered.

If the cover is not "mat"-ish I would consider throwing a top water buzzbait of spinnerbait because of the front arm in front of the hook. But also if the weeds are "stringy" any kind of open hooked bait will become a weed attractant.

Bladed Jig, Bladed Jig, and Bladed Jig. Did I mention Bladed Jig?   

 

But seriously this is one of my favorite baits ever. It excels around grass and seems to entice the bigger fish.

Chatterbaits or bladed jigs are good choices. I know this doesn't fit the vibrating description but swimjigs would be another option.

A 1/4 ounce spinnerbait and a single #4 willowleaf blade. As a matter of "guess" that may be the only spinnerbait I will ever need .

I don't really throw vibrating baits around cover (I'm usually too busy throwing frogs in cover).  But when I do, I throw weedless swimbaits mostly a Sick Fish and a weedless Hudd 68.  But, every once and a again I might toss a weedless Chatterbait (Z man Chatterbait Pro 5/8 ounce).

Scrounger or Bladed Jig - Hands Down.

If it's non emerging grass I like to throw a trap 1st, then a chatterbait.

If not, I like to throw what A Jay does also..

Also, I rig the scrounger with a Sluggo trailer and the chatterbait with a headless skinny dipper. But your milage may vary.

1/2 oz Rippin Rap on braid. Hit a weed or 2 in those lanes and you can rip it through. Let the bait flutter after the rip and you can be in business. 

 

All time favorite and old school would be a short-arm spinnerbait. Colorado for thump in low light or stained water, willow for clear water, bright skies. Who the hell knows, a Colorado with bright skies and clear water!? Who ever read the spinnerbait book but us? 

[AdamsEye]

When I want thump and weedless I go to a paddle tail soft plastic.

White double willow spinnerbait. If I have the option I'm going early and I will catch 2x as many on a cavitron

For me, nothing calls fish out of vegetation like a bladed jig. The report I posted the other day in the Fishing Reports forum every fish I caught on my bladed jig was fishing around and over vegetation. Ticking them over the tops and then snapping it anytime I started to collect some weeds and they were slamming it.
