I'm late to the Bulldawg game, but I've been having good success lately using Bulldawgs over weeds. I run my dawgs like most people run a bucktail, I just straight crank them over the weed tops. I only rip the bait when I make contact with the weeds. Fish have been liking this presentation. So I was wondering how many guys are are straight cranking Bulldawgs or do you feel you have to rip, and sweep them on every cast?

Any way u want. It's the most versatile musky lure ever imo. Usually slower and more gently in the Fall.
If I had to choose one bait to catch fish all year long it would be a mag black and orange helidawg so I could add the spinner in stained water or take it off.

Hi Grass

Are you using regular size bull dogs or mag dogs? I have had luck with poseidons and swimming dogs burning them over weeds.

I'm using a regular dawg and straight cranking it over the weeds.
I have not used a swimming dawg yet, but I know it's a good looking bait.

I think the way you work it all depends on the situation at hand. Sometimes I straight crank, but more times than not I am fishing a deeper break or standing timber in 30 FOW where I believe fish to be holding down around 8-12', in which case I sweep-pause-sweep-pause. I think the only way to work a dawg wrong is to tie snap on and then set your rod down in the boat.
