A bullet weight above a weedless-rigged soft plastic. The default way to fish plastics in cover.
A sliding bullet weight, then a hook tied on, then a soft plastic rigged weedless. The weight noses through cover and the bait follows it.
Left free, the weight separates from the bait on the fall for a slower drop. Pegged with a bobber stop, the whole rig moves as one — which is what you want punching heavy cover.
One a week. Rigging, water, and what we are throwing.
