Here's a photo of an idea I came up with this morning as I was sitting here looking at all the evazote foam I was going to throw out.
As I sat watching the bass boys fish with the worms, the idea popped into my head that the foam could be used as a weed guard.
I took a thin piece of foam, cut it into a triangle shape. Tied in the thin portion at the eye of the hook and the wide portion goes over the point.
Sort of like a worm covering the hook point.
Tried it at the lake in some thin grass and didn't have any problems with hang ups or coming off the point. Going fishing tomorrow on a private ranch and will try it out in some heavier cover.
Don't know if anyone has done this - I know it can't be new.
