floating worms

[Zach_BassFisherman]

just asking but im a real big floating worm fisherman, so will that work at the lake?? i usually just twitch it all the way in and i get bites, big bites any other ways to fish this??

Well you could dead stick it. You could use it in a carolina rig or T-rig. Thats just off the top my head

I too, love floating worms, and my advice to you would be to try every concievable method of retrieve you can come up with. I personally like to siwm them on the fly around weeds and stumps....I'll t-rig them and bump and drag them along the bottom...and I will jerk them like a jerk bait even, ...I'll cast them out on a drop shot and I'll rig them carolina style. Like most lures, I don't believe there is a "wrong way" to use them. I can't tell you how many times, I've given up on my cast and had a bass strike the worm as I reeled it back in. Heck, on a few occassions, I've had a bass jump out of the water to get my danglin worm haning from a tree branch.

you can always twitch them, and put a 18 inch leader with a barrell swivel connecting to your line, helps eliminate line twist

you can use the floating worm on a shaky head rig

You could attach the worm to a Road Runner jighead and reel slow or reel fast.

i'd definitally say shaky head and carolina rig like were mentioned. or heck even with a pegged 1/4 ounce sinker pitched into cover if the fish are looking for a real slow fall

could i put a trailer hook or something like that on the end of it, because i have been getting lots of hits at the tails of the worm and missing it.

you could always tie a stinger hook to the tail, to do that, use your regular hook and texas rig, then take another piece of line, to one end to the regular hook eyelet, and tie the other end to a #6 or #4
straight hook , or whatever small size works..some of the old creme and tournament worms used to come that way, gammys got a new twist to a old idea on this link

Wacky rig it, then swim it back real slow in steady pulls, another deadly tactic is deadsticking it on a bed.
