Most Weedless Lure

[Anantha Patel]

Hey there,

 

What are you thoughts on the most weedless lure? Soft plastics, even when rigged weedless, seem to still get hung up in the large weed beds I fish.

[Bluebasser86]

Depends on the type of weeds but a hollow body frog is probably the most weedless bait out there.

[Catt]

The most weedles lure?

It ain't the lure!

It's the angler!

When fishing a Texas Rig or Jig-N-Craw most anglers try to force them through cover.

Ya gotta finesse them through

Well said Catt

[Bluebasser86]

And sometimes, it's the vegetation. There isn't any finessing a bait through snot grass(moss or gorilla snot). I haven't seen a bait yet that is immune to that stuff but the bass will still hit a slime covered frog because they can't see it.

We get this nasty, stringy stuff here too that doesn't usually clump onto a bait, but it gets into everything. The worse is spinnerbaits or buzzbaits because it gets on the blades, wraps around the wire, and fouls the blades. 

 

The more leafy stuff is pretty easy to fish most jigs or T-rigs though with a careful feel though. 

[ClackerBuzz]

sounds like could be a combination of using the wrong tool for the job and/or bad technique.

more details needed

I fish weedy lakes all day long with a Texas rig and never have to pick weeds off.

The most weedless lure? Easily a t-rigged plastic worm. Especially with a older plastic formula.

Hard to beat a hollow body frog.

Lots of weedless stuff. Don't let the weeds stop you that's where the bass hide.

My PB of 10lbs was caught on a rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH CRANKBAIT as I ripped it out of the weeds into the channel.

Infisherman explained this ripping crankbaits through the weeds on there show.

Hollow body frog.I cast it in thick lilypads and haven't lost one yet while reeling in a hawg.

I picked up some Scum Frogs, from Southern Lure Co. Are they very weedless and effective?

 

My area has small lakes full of massive and thick beds Hornwort, and some lily beds. The bottom has is full of sticks and rocks, and some plants.

Just about the only thing that will get stuck on a Scum Frog is a bass.

The most weedless lure I have used .that can even be fished in what bluebasser calls snot grass is the old Riverside Top Gun . I have caught a whole bunch of big bass with it in a pond that was choked full of snot grass/ moss . I think the new Yum Swurm is the same thing . I still have packs of the Top Guns that I save for such situations . I use them weightless with a big heavy flipping hook to add casting weight  and not bend when reeling in an 8 lb bass and several lbs of moss .The worm is flat and skims over the moss .

A frog is pretty weedless. Flukes work pretty good for me as well as long as it is not the heavy stuff.

Another vote for the hollow bodied frog.

Johnson Silver Minnow with pork rind NOT PLASTIC.  With the weed guard adjusted right, you just cannot get any type of weed to get hung on it.

Big C is lying to you...  Northern Pike and Pickerel also frequently become stuck on the Scum Frogs I throw.  No weeds, though.  They are cheap and effective.

My dad lived in Florida for most of his life and told me he had one of these tied on religiously when he did. You might also try a hollow bodied pickle bait like the Yum Money Hound to give the bass a different look than a frog. Especially if your bass mostly eat shad.
