The BOOYAH MELEE easily deflects from wooden obstacles and others, thanks to the unique head design that always hits first, encouraging the hook to move upward and away from obstacles. The syncopated clacking during retrieval is also enhanced by the unique polycarbonate head with an internal lead core that produces a distinct noise quite different from other bladed jigs. Add to that an extra-long shank hook with wire bait-keeper, and the recipe for pulling bass out of cover is complete. Just run it through the cover, and it comes out unscathed on the other side.
