I believe nothing of clipping on one thing just like the Savage Gear Sandeel V2 and straight-retrieving it when I’m bass fishing in barely deeper water, however relating to shallow to shallowish water particularly I are likely to default to the weedless/offset hook method when I’m rigging varied tender plastics. Whether or not I exploit a hook with a belly-weight or not depends upon varied elements, however for swimming paddletails round I can normally discover little improper with this method. I have a tendency to hold 4/0 and 6/0 weedless hooks with me, some with lighter and heavier belly-weights, some with out.
Then if I need to bump stuff alongside the underside I’d flip to a (able to fish) paddletail on a jig head such because the Savage Gear Sandeel V2 Weedless or the irrefutably lethal Fiiish Black Minnow. I don’t have a lifetime of expertise with jig heads on their very own as such, however I do like a few of these able to fish tender plastics which revolve round a jig head and lure physique AND which take away the entire confusion factor. No must attempt to work out which lure would possibly sit greatest on which jig head and so forth, certainly I nonetheless have varied, random jig heads that I’ve by no means even used however which I purchased through the years as a result of they regarded good!
