Tex's post about his tactics at his first tournament got me thinking...
I've read many article recently about bouncing rattl-traps and crankbaits off weed beds and then 'ripping' them through the weeds...Tex said only 1 out of 4 casts came back without salad on the lure...When I've done this, I don't think I get a 'vegetation-free' lure back even that often...Maybe our weeds up north here are different, but lures just don't 'bounce' off them! Most of the weeds here are the eurasian milifoil sp? variety...Thick stuff! I could see where if you were fishing over a true 'grass' that you could rip the lure out a bit better...
How do you handle 'ripping' in thick stuff?
