Ah, the love/hate relationship between bass anglers and their beloved — and sometimes despised — grass. It is not unusual for an experienced bass fisherman to scope out lakes with abundant grass, only to spend the day on that lake cursing its very existence.

Why? Well, plainly put: Lake vegetation is a necessary evil.

Points to ponder:

1) Lily pads are a favorite hidey-hole for bass. Of course, they’re not the only ones who like the protective canopy – their amphibious constituents are there as well. So, grab a Warrior Baits Buzz Frawg and Mister Bass won’t know it from the real McCoy.
