Fuzzy and urchin-style baits have become some of the hottest lures in tournament bass fishing, but most anglers and pros are using them with forward-facing sonar in open water. In this video, I test whether the new NetBait Virus can bridge the gap between viral fuzzy baits and traditional flipping and punching by fishing it through thick summer grass mats on the lake. We break down how it falls, how cleanly it moves through cover, where the bass are positioned under the mat, the best retrieve adjustments and the advantages and drawbacks of using this unusual lure for heavy-cover bass fishing. Whether you fish tournaments or simply want to catch more big bass around grass, this is a completely different way to approach the fuzzy-bait trend.
