So Huddleston just posted a video on their site showing off the upcoming weedless 6 inch huddleston. It's an interesting design, most similar to the LA Slider, except a lot more sneaky. At first glance I'd say..

Pros:
* Pre-rigged delivery means I don't have to spend an hour the night before sizing up different hooks and weights the night before (i.e. Basstrix)
* Internal harness should make sure the bait swims perfectly upright
* Stationary jig hook design should prevent the plastic from sliding down the hook and interfering with hooksets.
* Internal weights should gives plausibility of a faster sinking bait without external lead showing.
* Did I mention it's sneaky looking?

Cons:
* Where's the 8 inch model? Actually I think this would be a terrible design on the 8 inch bait. The lure is so heavy the fish could throw the single jig hook far too easily.
* Completely hiding the jig hook probably will reduce the number of fish hooked by a small margin. In general, I expect I'd prefer to catch those fish, even if it means cleaning weeds off my bait every once in a while.

I have pre-ordered a couple of weedless Huds and I intend to wait patiently along with everyone else, but I could definitely use one of these baits right now. The lakes I'm fishing are between 45 and 47 degrees surface temp and that has made it dificult to come by bites with swimbaits. Not impossible, but infrequent. My most productive presentation the last 30 days or so has been large jigs in teen to 20ish feet deep water working through grass. It's tough enough to work a jig with a weed-guard through the cover effectively, so a six inch Hud with an exposed jig hook or trap hook is out of the question. Now if I had one of Ken's weedless versions I might be able to do some serious damage with these conditions. I guess I'll get a chance to find out in four or five weeks.
