With the weeds at their summer peak of growth, I've been exploring different lures for catching the bass holding in and below them. A friend that lives up in God's country swears by these and after fishing them for th last couple of days, I gotta say they are tailor made for working over the weeds. They are easy to make long casts with as well as walking the dog and like my favorite topwater, a Spook, they produce some violent strikes.

So for those of you looking for another option this summer, check them out. The cost isn't going to put a major hole in your wallet either.

There's a lot of weedless stuff out there. Search it.

Mepps Timber Doodle.

Mister twister top prop.

Don't forget the weighted grub.

Drop it in the open weed pockets.

I even twitch a floating crankbaits over the open weed pockets. Twitch a smaller spook.

All these stuff works.

The Spro Bronzeye Shad is a great WTD style hollow body bait also.

I own one but have yet to use it; great to hear that someone is having success with it. The material seems a little thicker than most of the other hollow-bodies that I have, so I haven't given it a chance as I worry I will miss fish.

Don't concern yourself about missing fish. Like other hollow bodies, they normally try to kill it, so they take it in their mouth good if you let them.like other hollow bodies, if I'm missing a big percentage, or hooking near there lips, it's time to either change retrieves, or lures.

Another really good weedless topwater lure is the Johnson Silver Minnow spoon.  Take the last segment of a plastic worm and thread it on the hook,  Cast it out and have it moving as soon as it hits the water.   It'll come thru pads, grass, whatever.  And it catches BIG BASS

Weed Demon is my WTD lure.

 

Another one to check out is the Mister Twister Jerk Rat. It's sort of a soft plastic Silver Minnow.
