Need some suggestions: lure that can be fished at bottom without getting snagged

Are there lures that are totally snag-free? There are rocks, fallen trees and stuff on the bottom where i fish. I mainly fish for perch, so any small and orange lure will work perfect
How good are offset hooks+soft lure?

If you use soft plastics you can stab the tag end of your knot back into the worm in the hole the hook made, ghetto weed guard lol.

A snag-free lure doesn't exist and never will.
Snag resistant, yes. Snag-free? Impossible.
What are you getting snagged on?

Besides a Texas rig, you can try a squarebill. They deflect off cover really well and you can easily avoid snags if you learn to feel the contact and let the lure float up for half a second.

If you Texas rig your soft plastics, you shouldn't get snagged. You may get hung up in the Y of a branch but you can jiggle the lure out of that. Just pick up some small octopus style hooks.

If you do get snagged a bow snap with your rod and line can pop your bait loose a lot of times. If you have set the hook thinking the snag was a fish it can still work, but not as often.

That's a tough one buddy, it's like asking, which room can sleep in without snoring? It's not so much the "diver" lure which you use for bottom fishing but the area where you fish that determines whether you snag your lure or not. There is no one answer to solve your question.

snag resistant means it will snag it just doesn't want to.

I worked in a steel foundry all of my life and sometimes customers would complain about their stainless steel castings being stained. We got so frustrated explaining to them that the root cause was the sandblasting that we did prior to shipping to coat them prior to shipping them which created the spots. Finally a pissed off Q.A Mgr. told one of our customers. "stainLESS, does not mean stainPROOF". I guess this applies also to "snagLESS" hooks. lol

Why not use a drop shot rig with a sinker that pulls off and
saves your jig or baited hook? It isn't a lure, but a two-hook
drop shot outfit with the bottom hook about 6 inches from the
bottom really does the job. Red/white, orange, etc all work --
especially when tipped with a Berkeley panfish tidbit.
