Application: Flipping this bait into thick grass was easily retreived. I had very few hangups and could feel every obstacle in its way. Throwing the jig around trees and matted vegetation produced the best results.
I normally dont excel fishing jigs, even though its one of the best big bass baits out there, I liked how this one felt. After about 20 casts, I hooked into a nice bass as seen below. He hit it about 5 feet outside of the weedline just inside a cove.
It didnt end there, after flipping around a submerged tree with some matted vegetation on top in 3 feet of water, I got a 4 to 5lb bass. The kind of bass that makes any fishermans day. For me, I was lucky to have a camera close by to cover the action.
After throwing back into the same EXACT spot, I pulled out another 4lb bass. I couldnt believe my eyes and wished that every day on the water produced such great results. I decided that I probably just used up all my luck on one spot!
Durability: After settling down after 10 minutes, I checking the hooks and they were still sharp. The skirt was still in place and the knot was tight. Time to keep going for more! The head was not chipped at all, and the jig beconed that I bring it on, even if that meant casting onto cement and dragging it behind the truck. The red eyed stepchild was living up to its nickname.
