I do the same thing for the latter. Works pretty well in several types of weeds, especially eel grass, which is a pain up here. 3 Quote
Hook2Jaw Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 @J Francho, I'm gonna give it a shot. We've got tons of greenery that gunks up on knots and hook eyes down here in the southeast. 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 11, 2019 Super User Posted September 11, 2019 I like about a foot up the line from the bait. It's not fool proof, but works well enough that I use it often. 2 Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted September 11, 2019 Super User Posted September 11, 2019 When the weeds are really thick, the only way to go is a hollow body frog something similar. You can try a swim jig too bit you may pick up too many weeds for it to be effective. Quote

I used to do that when I didn't have a dedicated punch rod I would switch from a frog to punching rig on the same rod without having to remove the bobber stop. Pretty sure that's not @Catt's plan though. 1 hour ago, J Francho said: I do the same thing for the latter. Works pretty well in several types of weeds, especially eel grass, which is a pain up here. Hmm, didn't think about that, I guess a bead would do the same thing. 1 Quote

At my age putting a bobber stop on 50# braid is a little time consuming! The way I see it way would I take time to one on only to take it off when I change techniques? I see leaving it on a plus ? 2 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 12, 2019 Super User Posted September 12, 2019 I just hate wasting them. 2 Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted September 12, 2019 Super User Posted September 12, 2019 I made these up for fishing weedy waters up here and love the rig. After seeing the bobber stop idea, I'm gonna have to add it to my line before tying this on. Thanks for posting that @Catt! 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted September 12, 2019 Global Moderator Posted September 12, 2019 i was bringing search baits through weeds last night but this is all it yielded........ big bite baits cane thumper and a sprinker frog. I had a big one on that sprinker frog Monday just after dark but it jumped off 1 Quote

Big Swimbait Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 This bait was posted here a couple of years ago. Works great on the outside edges and any lanes you may have. Quote
deadadrift89 Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Stanley Ribbit Frog for me also. Great choice for covering water fast with pads Quote
