Flipping/punching baits

[jpd0144]

I try to keep it pretty simple ...

Loose vegetation or sparse cover - R/I Beaver.

Has a unique glide when pegged. Also when the water is cold/winter everything moves sluggish then and this lures doesn't have crazy loose appendages on the fall flapping everywhere. Looks sluggish like nature around it.

But in tight packed vegetation (hay grass) or thick brush - Zoom Z-hog.

The less lines/ridges/appendages (its slick) the easier the lure will slide in with less weight or head ach. Resulting in higher percentages of a successful penetration through a mat or a pitch to a target and it not fouling on a limb or twig on the first attempt.

Color - If the water is clear watermelon or Cali 420 will do. If its dirty black/blue. If Im questioning my choice ... black/blue seems to always work.
