So how do you use a floating worm?
Floating worms catch a lot of BIG bass. This type of worm is also
great for all seasons unlike some lures which are only productive
during a certain season. Knowing how to rig one and apply it will
greatly increase your chances of catching BIG bass.
What makes the the floating worm so
unique? W hat makes this worm unique is it's design. While in the
molding process manufacturers inject air into the worm to make it
float. This makes it a surface floater.
To use this unique technique most
anglers use a Carolina rig with leader being a personal choice and
the conditions of the water. A good choice would be setting the
leader to be 18 inches to 3 feet with a 1/8 to 3/16 ounce size
weight. The application of this lure is unlimited. For example say
you are from shore near some grass or weeds. Position yourself in
front of the grass and cast and into open water. Reel slowly by
dragging or hopping the lure from the open water into the grass. Then
reel quick not to disturbing the grass. Continue this process moving
down the bank. You will arouse the bass in this area and usually get
a strike.
Or say you are fishing from a boat near
dock. Another great technique is to use a 2 to 3 foot leader. casting
near the dock. Bump the worm against the beams and stop a few seconds
and wait for the bass to strike. If they don't strike reel slow a
little bit and again drag the worm or hop the it until the retrieve
is complete. Fish all sides of dock and see if you don't catch a
bass. If not try another dock.
There are many ways you can use a
floating worm and the possibilities are endless. Put a pork rind on
it and see if you get more strikes. And the best part is you can use
this lure year round. This will also save your wallet and what you
spend on lures. Hope you find this article helpful. If you do let me
