I used 20# braid with a #40 mono leader. At the tag end of the leader I tie on a swivel/interlock.. then hook this onto the lure. At the tag end, is it better to tie the line directly to the lure or do what I did, tying to a swivel/lock and hooking it to the lure?
Thank you for your reply. I have started using 2/0 Trokar hooks when fishing with rubber worms and my hook sets have increased. Thanks again for getting back to me. Your information is greatly appreciated.
Hey. I was just wondering... I use this and i get ALOT of fish biting this rig. But i always seem to set the hook at the wrong time so can you post a video on how to know when the lure is in the fishs mouth? Thanks!
@TheCheaterFilms if they arent taking the worm long enough try getting some pro guide formula smelly jelly (or any smelly jelly i just prefer the pro guide because it comes in a larger container) they tend to hold the worm an extra second or so longer. i dont like to texas rig for that reason....try drop shot method you dont have to be so vigilant setting the hook you just "sweep" your pole to the side and its set. best results for drop shot i have found is using the roboworms.
@jackson0knollwood i mean how do i know when the fish has the bait in its mouth. The only way i can usually tell is when i can see it. But my lake isnt very clearwater and i dont own a pair of polarized sunglasses.
@TheCheaterFilms sometimes the bass inhale the worm with a fury and you know you have a fish....but most of the time (drop shotting) its a very lite tug almost feels like something barely bumped your worm or like a fish accidentally swam into the line...thats when i sweep to set the hook and you dont have to do it hard either... make sure you use sharp hooks too i use the Gamakatsu dropshot/ hooks or the Gamakatsu octopus size 2s. remember it feels like a lite bump on your rod tip. GOOD LUCK!
Now, when I throw out the worm and it begins to sink, I will feel the bass just lightly pecking my bait. What should I do? Most of the time if I pull it the fish will let go of the worm. I believe its biting the part where there is no hook. Should I just wait for it to start swimming with the bait or what? I seem to get allot of nibbles but no catches. What do you suggest?
@HIGHSCHOOLHOP use a smaller worm thats a good indication that the fish that might be "nibbling" on your bait are really just too small to get the full bait in its mouth all fish of size will destroy the bait they dont like to waste any time
@HIGHSCHOOLHOP Bass typically will not lightly peck at your bait. You may be feeling bluegills or crappie. Most of the time when a bass bites a worm it is a much more violent jerk, because they will take your whole worm in their mouth and run with it. Keep only a little slack in your line and dont try to set your hook on those little pecks, wait until you feel the fish give a solid pull then set your hook. Good Luck!
@ihatebobsaget1989 rarely do i texas rig but i do what some call flipping. its basically lifting your rod so the worm travels up and falls back down ..reel in the slack and repeat ocasionally jigging a few inches between "flips"
plastic worms are the only lure i have ever used that can compete with live bait for bass fishing. Most fisherman will agree that plastic worms are overall the best bass lure.
i rig it just right but every time i cast, it seems like a fish just gets the loose end of the worm and doesnt hold on. almost like it never hits the top part of the worm where the hook is. is there anything i can do to make sure the fish gets where the hook is?
@mrdiaz0108 yes they have to be bigger than 14 inchis and they are very good if you rap in foil ad butter, onion, mushrom, a little salt and pepper put on the grill for 6 r so minuets
@mrdiaz0108 it depends on what your state regulations say or that specific lake, river, pond, etc... but usually they have to be 14 inches long. at least in Illinois thats what it is
@mrdiaz0108 I think the legal limit to keep them is they have to be 10 inches or bigger. Thats for largemouth. It ranges an inch or two with different species of bass
@trails just superglue your slip sinker to the top of your worm. Also i use a different method basically like jiggin' your worm. I will be going to my grandparents and making fishing and hunting videos and i will send you them.
i was at bass pro and they have hooks that are alrdy set like that with a weight on the front there prety sick its identacal but the eye is on the tip of it
Thanks! I'm a girl and I love to fish! I've always had trouble trying to bait the fake worm, but now I'm great at it! Once, I caught a 5 foot catfish with one! Man, it was awesome!
@wolfmanorfisherman To be a good plastic fisherman, you need to get out fishing as often as possible using plastic worm baits and experience worming. With alot of practice, you begin to feel and know when to jerk the line to set the hook. When fishing with plastic worms, most strikes will occur when the worms falls back or when it hits the bottom during the retrieve. The strike will be a slight tap or peck, at which time the hook should be set
I always rig my worms about an inch down and i have no problems with line being in the worm, im not sure what the problem would be with that? my hook ratios are great still
