DTAY Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 So I’m fishing a local lake with a jig hook Hudd and the lake has a ton of grass in it. After every cast I’m bringing up a pound of grass, not just on the hook, but on the nose as well. Is there a way to stop this from happening (other than going to a different lake or not throwing a Hudd)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stack3001 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Try not just running it right on the bottom. Reel a tad bit faster to keep it up. Then maybe throw a pause or 2 in while retrieve. Pop it off the bottom to shake grass off before reeling again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

119bowhunter Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 What ROF are you using? I like the ROF 5 if I’m trying to throw overtop of stuff, it runs pretty shallow even at slow speeds, as long as your grass isn’t topped out I’d think it would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it from a guy last year on SU and he wasn’t exactly sure what it was either. After throwing it a few times today I realized it had a nail weight inserted on the bottom of it. I took it out and it still sank at a pretty decent speed. I think that’s my problem and I’ll need to find some ROF 5s lol 119bowhunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it doesn’t “dig in” as much. Especially around rip rap as well. Something to keep in mind, some Hudds have the ROF stamped / molded on the back of the tails. The last few 68’s I purchase had the 5 on the back for ROF 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassturds Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Buy a ROF 0 hudd, add nail weights. You can make it suspend or an ROF 3. Great for crawling over the weeds. That ROF 12 is a bit heavy for grass lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
