But really nothing beats a swimbait with a hook slot rigged on a weighted swimbait hook(like the one I posted but without the blade). Drag them over weeds/Lilly pads without getting hung or drop them right into heavy cabbage no issues. Hook point is hidden till a fish bites down on the soft plastic

Nothing is un fish able with the right tools
Yeah, I dont fish plugs around weeds a whole lot, but something like a Canadian Wiggler with just a downfacing single in the back can work OK.

Rigged properly, a spoon can fish just about anything
