Most anglers go to great lengths to keep their lures from getting hung in the grass, not Mike Iaconelli. He's here to tell you about a system he believes will help you catch inactive bass out of the grass, but there are several factors that determine whether you will be successful. In this bass fishing class seminar video, Mike "Ike" Iaconelli talks about why you would want to fish a lure with 6 hooks in the grass. Fish are only actively feeding for some small part of the day, this technique generates a reaction strike from inactive fish that are just living in and around the grass. Obviously, the key question is, how do you keep from having your lure hung in the grass or bogged down with grass the whole time if you're throwing a crankbait in grass? There are several key points and Ike discusses them all, including: selecting the right lure, having the right equipment, positioning your boat correctly, making the right cast into the grass and the right technique to get the crankbait out of the grass.
