Wired2Fish contributor Kobie Koenig shares his top 5 soft bait styles for flipping and pitching bass in various grass types and around woody cover. The baits discussed range from tube-style plastics, beaver and creature baits, flapping plastics with lots of action (flash and vibration), and solid-bodied streamlined baits that excel for penetrating the cover.
