I Got worms, that's what we're going to call it.

Ok this is getting picky I know, but here are a few things that I've found to be true over the years....tungsten weights! Get them in a color close to your worm. The Tungsten weights alow you to feel everything you drag that worm across. They are smaller per weight than lead, and lead to me makes everything feel dead. Second a very good quality hook that is the right size for the thickness of the worm you are using. I really like Trokar hooks, and in most cases to T-rigs and C-rigs (Carolina Rig) worms I use a 4.0 or 5.0 hook. As far as retrieve.. I follow the old adage if you think you're fishing it slow...slow down some more! I normally throw out let the bait sink to the bottom...WATCH that line...if it moves in any direction except down, Set the HOOK! But the retrieve..I slowly and I mean slowly rise my rod tip until it's at about the 11 o'clock position, then as I lower my rod tip I reel in the slack as the tip lowers. The feel of the fish was well put earlier, it feels electric or alive, you won't mistake it for a rock or gravel. LOL ok I've rambled enough..I'll go into some finesse techniques when summer is in full swing! But lastly my largest Bass have all been caught on plastic worms. Largest to date 11.9 pounds.
