You bump weeds, pop it, get it out of there, keep it going. For bass, target inside weedlines and clumps of weed growth on the shallow ends of flats, closer to shore

As long as I can get one to suspend the depth I need, it doesnt matter

Swim them on weedless and belly-weighted weedless hooks like shallow-divers, swim something like the Savage Gear Sandeel (watch this space) or the Westin Sandy Andy (paddletails on pointy style jig heads) in deeper water and/or rougher conditions, fish paddletails on jig heads with a sink and draw action, bump/swim weedless paddletails on jig heads (like the Black Minnow of course) along the bottom over rough ground, trundle paddletails rigged on jig heads down a strong run of current, bump paddletails on jig heads around in the surf, hell, I saw some photos last summer of some European anglers catching black/largemouth bass on the Gravity Stick Paddletail fished as a surface lure and I am going to have a crack at this for our own bass later this year in a few specific spots I have lined up

Or simply uncomfortable after hours of repetitive casting
