Flipping a big weight in grass isn’t at all uncommon. After all, grass holds bass from Canada to Florida. If the fish are there, anglers are quick to catch on. Down in Texas in the early ’90s, “dropping” in deep hydrilla began to take hold as big weights allowed anglers to reach down into 10 or 20 feet of water for unpressured grass bass, with sometimes amazing results. The equipment is miles better now than it used to be, and the bass are a little wiser, but going after them nearly vertically in truly deep grass is still a great way to target tournament-winning bass. FLW Tour pro Clark Reehm has grown up fishing in Texas and guiding/teaching on Sam Rayburn. He’s winched up more than his share of bigguns from the grass. What follows is his prescription for successfully flipping deep grass.
