Heavy matted grass can be a tough opponent for bass anglers but those that have the know how can reap significant dividends for post spawn and summer time bass. You have to have the right equipment and you have to have the right bait.
Kickerfish Bait Company has just the ticket on the bait side of the equation with their Bird Dog Creature Bait. The Bird Dog was designed by FLW pro and Texas standout Cody Bird and the slender, narrow profile bait is perfect for punching grass. Two long appendages combined with a worm body and "ears" give it plenty of action but it is slim enough to fit into the smallest of holes.
Neat features
The solid segmented body, accepts up to 5/0 Gamakatsu offset round bend hook. Blended pinchers on those appendages and gliding “ears” give the Bird Dog movement and thick diamond cut tube skirt adds to the lifelike look as well. This bait is perfect for flippin in the thickest cover or Carolina Riggin deep structure.
Teamed with a stout flipping stick, 20-25 fluorocarbon or 65 braid and either a Penetrator or Tru-Tungsten Denny Brauer Flipping and Pitching weight and you are ready to go. We use a 1/2 ounce weight or heavier based on the cover. We also recommend pegging the sinker to keep it from being unwieldy and inaffective in heavy grass.
