I am going to a pond, probably an eighth of a mile on a side, kinda triangle shaped, that is on a boy scout camp, and I fish it probably twice or 3 times a year.  In June, and the last weekend in October usually.  It is probably 5 feet at the deepest, and that seems to be on the old creekbed running from the stream, to the old spillway (now they have one of those pipes that it spills into upon reaching a certain depth.  Used to just run across the road, and down the creek)  It has some REAL nasty weeds in it.  Most seem dead, but they have taken over most of the lake, with just a few gaps.  When I was their in June, I caught eleven, all around a pound, in 30 mins a day, fishing for four days, on a 6 inch green punkin trick worm, at the bottom of that creekbed.  That bed is the only place that I, or anybody else, has ever found bass.  Most of the bass in their are about a pound, but I have heard other anglers talking about seeing a 5 pounder swimming along their, just not catching it.  Since I feel fairly confident on this pond, and with my plastics, I am pondering throwing something else.  Topwater frogs especially.  One guy, who is a big fisherman, was killing them on topwaters, while I was killing them at the bottom.  But, I am pondering using some jigs.  I have never really used them before, and am thinking this might be a place to try them, assuming it isn't too weedy by now.  For THICK HEAVY weeds, what jigs do yall use, and what colors?  (going a week from tomorrow, it is in the GA mountains)  Anything besides topwater frogs, softplastics, and jigs that I should try?  (no real confidence in anything aside from soft plastics, jerkbaits, and walk the dog baits)

I'd forget about the jig and use a soft plastic T-rig, but peg the sinker at the hook.

This is sometimes called a Florida rig and with good reason.

Down here in the sunshine state the lakes, and ponds,  even big ones are usually shallow with little cover other than weeds.  There are exceptions of course, but shallow and weedy is your typical Florida bass fishing scenario.

The Florida rig is much more weedless than the most weedless jig.

The venerable senko is a popular bait to fish in the real nasty stuff.  The stick shape with no appendages is as weedless a lure as you can find.

but all the other standard craw and Kreature type baits are popular and productive as well.

Good luck and have fun.

I agree with avid.

T-Rig a worm either with or without a weight....Where I fish is heavily weeded and have learned that most anything with the exception of a Rigged plastic is gonna get snagged.

Yea, fishing jigs in heavy weeds is a little tough, especially if you hook up with that 5 pounder.  Stick to what avid says.  T Rig.  Good Luck

Selecting the proper jig head is the key to successfully fishing grass; Bullet-shaped heads are designed to penetrate vegetation without getting hung-up.

Mega Bite & Allterrain just two that come to mind  

Grassmaster jig or Terminator Grass jig.
