Heavy jig/punching in grass/weeds

chris m burch - doctor

What do you recommend to start heavy /fast fall jig fishing , I flip a big jig and have a hard time getting it or miss the fish , only bites I know I have had hit on a lift to drop again . Is it a good idea to drop back to 1/2 I’m comfortable with and slowly work up ? I am NY’er and that’s how you win in summer so gotta get a better game plan . Any advise be greatly appreciated .

In the summer where I live, I rip a jig up off the bottom aggressively. I hold the rod at the reel seat with one hand and push down on the butt of the rod with the other hand. I believe Gerald Swindle does this with a flutter spoon in this video https://bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/gerald-swindles-summer-ledge-fishing-techniques this is exactly how I fish a jig in the summer. I'll try different weights, but whatever gets through the grass and gets bites.
