I have to disagree. I have thrown jigs in grass for 30 years. You will shake yourself to death trying to get it through some of the spots I fished. I don't believe you fully catch the concept of sneaking the bait through the hollow on a big fish. That little bit of slack 4" tag pops that creature bait through the grass every time. It comes out just as easy with never any trash on the bait or weight. I never have to pick a hole to drop this bait. The skinny 1 oz. weight makes it's own hole then sucks that Hoo Daddy through behind it. I have never seen the creature bait cause it not to go through the grass.

I have seen the jig with all its parts refuse to break through. It has bulk with a skirt and trailer. I have fished with many a fisherman and watched them struggle with this while I was catching fish. I have watch them fish the thick mat and have to use the rod tip to punch the hole for the jig to go through. I have seen them cast straight down with force to get it to punch through.

I would never slam your use of the jig and hope you catch every fish under the hollow with it. This is what has worked best for me and it has been very good to me in tournaments. It won the SIT on Amistad in 2003 along with many other tourns. during the years when the grass was 30 ft. tall and it will do it again when the grass gets right.

Water is clear midlake, very clear south, and clear to stained the more north you go. Most guys don't realize just how big this lake is. Its really 3 large lakes and fishes that way. Pretty much take your pick on how you want to catch them deep, grass, timber, ledges

The best information thats been given. Toledo is huge, you could probably talk to the top 5 people in a tournament and they might all give you a different technique on how they caught them. Fish to what your comfortable fishing and have confidence in.
