Posts: 2305 Location: SE, WI. | North of 8 - 1/28/2021 8:51 AM Can jig/plastic be rigged to work in heavy cover, like you see bass guys do? Have no experience at all with this, so please forgive my ignorance. Just know of a spot that harbors a big girl and is tough as heck to fish. NO8; The answer is Yes. Several years ago, a buddy Musky angler asked if I could design a frog style bait for his buddies that fish Large FL. Bass. He wanted something to come through heavy cover like pads, Hydrilla and cane. He wanted the split tail frog, but wanted a rounder Profile up front. I question his thoughts and asked to give me a week or 2 to put something together . The round type profile, I thought would be cumbersome in slop. Here is what I came up with. A sluggo style body up front, then the split tail frog legs backside. He liked and made the mold... First the upward bend in the sluggo help with instantly getting bait up Top Second, the 8 or 9/0 worm hook they used conformed nicely to the bend of the sluggo curve. Also as the plastic cured, It created a Pocket for the worm hook. The pocket allowed you to bring the tip of hook out the plastic, still being weedless, and allowed for better hookups as most of the tip was already through the plastic. Also, the tapered design upfront helped bait come through the slop. I also added some air bubbles to the plastic to help with bouancy Lastly the leggs got the attention of the Bass. Sent about 10 baits down W/ my Buddy. In 2 weeks they wanted 100 baits poured. Needless to Say, they Loved the design. I loved the sluggo for years W/spring musky. Also plenty of plastic to add rattles. JD Attachments ---------------- thumbnail[3].jpg (53KB - 357 downloads) | ||
