What size worm(s) do you use? Favorite brand? A go-to color for most of the lakes you fish? After 60 years of fishing, I just might give it a shot.

5” senko watermelon red. It’s the only color you’ll ever need.

Something new to me I've been trying is wacky rigging a Super Fluke. It has worked as well as any stick bait so far.

I've tried it a couple of times with a Senko and a Yum Dinger and had zero success. I'm thinking about throwing a wacky rig this weekend if the weather allows.

6" straight tail or Senco is 4"- 6" but 5" is generally. Want to change up a but throw one of them ol' centipede baits. Certainly need to match your hook but on the straight tail worms like the Zoom Trick worm I like these Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap Weedless Hooks 2/0 and 3/0: or these:
