Top water bass fishing can be some of the most exciting action you will ever have on the lake. When the fish are hitting the top, the action can be fast and furious all day long. Sometimes though, even though they are hitting the top, they are still sitting in beds of grass or lily pads.
The Yum money hound will let you to make the most of your quality time on the lake, because it allows you to rig the lure in a weedless style.
Not only do you lose more lures, but you have to clean your hooks on just about every cast! Cleaning hooks is not the way I like to spend my time on the lake. That’s why I bought the Yum money hound.
There aren’t any top water, hard plastic baits that let you fish in the weeds without fear like the Yum money hound will. The great part is, the weedless feature of the bait, without sacrificing the action of a hard plastic.
To get the most out of the bait, you will need two things: a simple razor blade, and an EWG (extra wide gap) hook.
With the razor blade, cut carefully along the narrow bottom strip of the bait. Now rig the EWG hook through the nose, and back through the body of the bait almost like you were rigging a worm.
These two steps will help you in two different ways. The EWG is a wide gap hook, which lets you set the hook more effectively, and will give you a better strike to catch ratio. Cutting the bottom of the bait lets the hook penetrate through the bait, into the lip of the fish much easier when you set the hook.
You can still do well if you don’t cut the bait, but you must have the wide gap hook. Otherwise, you will be setting the hook, and losing a lot of fish during the fight.
