I've been fishing jigs consistantly for a year. I"ve had alot of sucess with it so far. The problem im having is the grass. Its growing in so thick Im loosing confidence in the jig. It seems like it gets stuck in it and it dont look natural. Im using a fairly weedless jig but how weedless can they realy be? I've tried numerous methods. Pitching holes, ripping threw it, and fishing the edge. None of it feels like it did a month or so ago. The jig has become one of my favorites so i'd hate to have to put it down for awhile. I cant realy vertical fish with a 4' depth max. Im stumped. will the bass still hit it with grass on it? Im using a 1/4 oz booyah jig with a 7-6 rod. WHat should I do or is there some other jigs I can try that are more weedless? :-? :-? :-?  

Why fight it? Put the darn thing darn and throw something more appropriate and productive until the weeds thin again. But if you really want to keep messin' with it, get you some lightweight (1/8-oz or less) swimming style jigs with a big trailer and fish them over mats more like a frog than a jig, and on the same heavy gear as you would a frog. Bass don't know the difference and will blow through the grass after it the same.

will the bass still hit it with grass on it

I would say yes... to an extent. If I were you, I would go with a heavier jig with a sharper head design. Like a proline flipping jig. 1/2oz+. Or use a 3/8oz and swim it along the edge of the grass.

Proline Flipping Jig

Yea the creature was my other option but the fish i've been catching on the jig has had me hooked. I just thought there may have been somthing I was not doing or doing wrong. thanx!

My situation on a local pond (The Secret Pond!) is similar. I had been killin' 'em on a jig until the spirogyra took over. Over the holiday I spent a few hours early and mid-day on the water. I caught twelve nice bass, three on Mattlures Shad and the rest on the GYCB Kreature, including my best of the year!

Infidels suggestion applies if by "thicker grass", you mean grass that is in the whole water colum, ex: 4ft of water, 3-4 ft of grass.

At my lake, the hydrilla is in 6-20 feet or so, but it is on the bottom and comes up 1-4 ft w/ floating "pods" that accumulate and drift around the lake.  To fish the deeper grass, once it starts to thicken up, we do just the opposite of Infidels suggestion.  

We use 1/8 oz FULL SIZE PROFILE finesse jigs.  (Terminator finesse and Nichols Mango jigs are our fav's so far)

DEADLY BAITS in that kind of grass set up!!!!!

ps- Use MH spinning gear, 10-12 lb test  

killin' 'em on a jig until the spirogyra took over.

Spirogyra.  Sounds like a kama sutra position.   I calls it 'lake snot.'
