At the Bassmaster Classic in Tulsa, Okla., the Fan Expo saw TWA Sports introduce an interesting new product with strong potential to benefit anglers fishing grassy areas.
The Weed Guard is a conical plastic cap that fits over the head of most any worm or soft plastic to serve as an escort and a bodyguard. Smooth grass penetration, weedless operation, and less wear and tear are the benefits.
Made of medical-grade silicone, the Weed Guard fits snugly against the soft plastic to create a single profile. With a narrow leading end, the rig glances off cover and crawls across objects smoothly with practically no hang-ups.
Interior space accommodates a bullet weight, but TWA is working on a weighted version.
To rig the Weed Guard, push the nylon threader (included) through the hole — bottom-to-top — run your line through the threader and pull it back through the Weed Guard — just like threading a needle.
Tie the line to your hook, add the soft plastic bait and then snug the Weed Guard against the bait’s head, where internal threads ensure a solid fit.
