There may be no better way to present a bait to spooky redfish, or bass for that matter, than throwing a weightless soft plastic bait. Rigged with a weedless hook like the one that Slayer Inc. Lure Co. makes this weightless wonder a very versatile tool of the trade. Because of its obvious light weight, errors in casting are much easily forgiven. Accidentally place it to close to your prey and the lighter splashdown is less likely to make your fish turn and run. Combine the lighter weight with weedless properties and it can be fished in a variety of ways.
This bait can be fished slowly over any type of bottom without the fear of getting snagged on grass, rocks or oysters. It can be fished fast and erratically, even coming out of the water, to imitate a scared bait fish or shrimp as well. It can be skipped under docks and low hanging limbs. Other than deep water, there’s literally no place this deadly combination can’t go.
Next time you head out, fishing with lures, grab some weedless, weightless hooks and your favorite soft plastic bait and give it a shot. You might just get hooked on shedding weight.
