Weedless or flipping jigs tipped with a plastic or pork trailer are also potent. As weed-flats thicken, bulkier baits have trouble penetrating. To solve this problem, many anglers beef up presentation weight. In addition to weedless terminal tackle, a weedless trolling motor is invaluable for fishing thick greenery. Without boat control, accurate presentations are impossible.
Some anglers use push poles if water depth permits.
They're great if you have a friend with strong muscles and who is dumb enough to do the work while you fish. All my friends want guide fees when I suggest that push-poling might be fun. Largemouth love heavy cover, but remember that it's not all along shorelines. Become skilled at flipping, pitching, and reading offshore weedbeds, and you'll catch more bass.
