Just got my hands on the new freestyle 6" perch and this thing is going to crush the fish! I've already have two rods rigged with them, in two different ways. One is with a weighted belly hook that will be weedless and used up in the shallow, thicker cover. This will get into all the places a open hook will not work. On the other rod, I have one rigged with a 1/2oz swimbait head that will be used out in deeper, open water. Every offshore spot I fish, the first thing that will be fired out is the freestyle with the jig head. Rolling this through the deep structure first thing will create a great chance and nabbing the biggest fish on the spot. The weedless version will be used by docks, reeds, cattails, cabbage, etc. What a great one two punch!!!
