I am new to plastics and wanted to see if yall could help me out? With the water being cold I've been fishing plastics real slow but I am having trouble keeping contact with the bottom because of the wind.
What size worm should I use on windy day?
What weight should I use?
Any help would be great!
All fishermen are liars except for you and me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure about you!

wind sucks but sometimes it turns on the fish. I would just go with a heavier weight maybe try a carolina rig.

Colder water usually means down-sizing your plastics. finese worms, tubes, craw-tubes, etc.
As for weight, let the wind-speed dictate. You might only need a 1/4 oz and you might need a 1/2 oz or heavier to stay in contact with the bottom on windy days.
