I love fishing plastic baits weightless when working many types of shallow cover. It all started many years ago when I used 6″ Boone worms to fish weed-beds, docks, over-hangs and other shallow bass havens.
When Boone stopped producing the worms, my use of weightless plastics slowed or at least it did until Yamamoto Custom Baits created the Senko.
As much as I love fishing the Senko and other knock-offs in shallow cover fishing situations there is always a desire to have greater variety to offer our finny friends, especially the finicky ones.
I have tried other salt-laden or dense baits…
Some with success; others not so much but one style of plastics always seemed an issue when trying to go weightless… tube baits.
Today I came across a video (embedded below) demonstrating a weightless set-up of a heavy, salted tube bait manufactured by Kietech, the 4.5″ Salty Core Tube…
