For grass...
Throw it on braid and let it fall into the grass. Don't bother modifying it, just rip it free like you would a lipless crank when it gets caught in the grass.
For wood...
Use a steady retrieve with an original chatterbait. The original style uses a wider, flatter head and is less likely to roll over and get caught. It still happens, but as long as you retrieve at a steady speed you will pull through more than you get caught on.
