Floating Worm Rig
Well, the water is or will be warming up once it thaws (right, JB? ) and this is a rig I have used with a lot of success in the spring. It is easy to rig and easy to fish.
It is almost like a regular weightless worm rig with a couple of modifications. Start by tying a swivel to your line-not a snap swivel, but a barrel or crane swivel and add a 6-8 inch leader. Then tie on a worm hook that will work with a straight tailed worm like a Trick Worm. I use a 1/0 TruTurn worm hook. Now to rig it: Thread the worm on the hook just like you would for a weedless worm except-and this is the key-you do NOT want the worm to hang straight-you want to intentionally leave a kink in it. Cast it around cover and work it with sharp twitches of the rod tip. The kink in the worm makes it spin in the water-the reason for the swivel since it will really twist your line as it spins if you don't use one-and looks alive. Colors: any color you want, but I've found bright colors like white, pink, lime, and merthiolate work best.
