July: Tip Of The Month


July: Tip Of The Month

Wednesday, July 03, 2013


Pulling hog bass from heavy slop requires the right gear. Long, Stiff rods All pro Rods have the muscle to horse them out of the weeds. Baitcasting reels have the winching authority. Braided super lines cut through heavy vegetation and have zero stretch, which means they make hook setting much easier.

Drop a weedless plastic frog right into the mess. Wiggle, Skitter, pause, and pause it some more. Watch for a bulge of water behind the frog, created by a stalking bass waiting for open water, but be ready for an out-of-nowhere explosion. When the fish hits, hold off on the hook set for a count of two or three. Then stick it hard and keep your rod tip high. Try to get the fish's head up and pull it out of the very hole it made when it surfaced. Keep up the pressure to skitter the fish across the slop and turn back all attempts to may make to head for the bottom.
