Jigs and grass?

[joedog]

Ok, I'm shore casting finese jigs 1/4 oz. Dragging and swiming back towards shore. Casts avg. 20-30 ft. out before retrieve. Now on almost every retrieve I encounter grass patches. I snap jig thru grass and a few after if needed. Now on 80% of the grass encounters I still end up with 1- 3 strands of grass wrapped at the jig eye ( these strands are 1-3 ft. in length).Jig trailer and skirt actions are not effected or very minimal at worst by grass strands and never any on hook itself. Dose the grass take away from the "bass appeal" at all or should I be concerned at all? After all one of the best jig bites is snapping them thru grass and weed and strikes come right at jig expulshion from the grass or weed, right? There has to be grass on the jig at time of strike, right?
