Weedless-ness
Was out on the Glenmore after pike. Since you can't use baitFISH but you can use bait, I was trying jig heads and soft scented plastics. I also had a steel leader with snaps and swivels.
Since it's so shallow there right now, it's super weedy. Almost every cast brought up salad. It didn't seem to be catching on my hook though, it seemed to be snagging on the snaps and swivels of my leader! Do you guys have any ideas on how to prevent that?
What's your method to beating the weeds?
PS: I did hook a couple pike...but they spat out my hook just as I tried to get them in the boat. On of them wasn't even hooked...just hanging on to my bait like a dog with a chew toy!
