David Rangel Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I had used most of the time c tail and ribbon tail worms, recently thanks to this forum I get some trick worms, but my doubt is how to work them any advice? Thanks David Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 18, 2010 Super User Posted January 18, 2010 How different do I need to work a trick worm from U tail? Zero Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted January 18, 2010 Super User Posted January 18, 2010 How different do I need to work a trick worm from U tail? Zero Ditto. That's the short uncomplicated answer. I fish the two differently though. I use "swimming tail" worms for swimming retrieves, and straight tails for mostly non-swimming retrieves: crawling, on the fall, wacky, ... The U-Tail is a small slim worm I use for finesse presentations. I like larger swimming worms much of the time though. All swimming worms I boil the tails so they swim at the slowest speeds -the U-Tails especially bc they come a little stiff. Quote
angler1 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Work them just like you would work the worms u have been using. Quote
David Rangel Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 Thank you Catt and Paul & Angler 1, opposite responses but interesting to know, maybe I needed to say how different i must work with the same rig, it means Texas Rig for both. David Quote
Blue Streak Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 You don't really need to change a thing. The U tail may work better on days when the bass want something with less action. Have at it, don't get into a rut, try some different retreives. What works for you in your waters may be different from another area. Don't be too confined by the "rules". Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted January 19, 2010 Super User Posted January 19, 2010 One more thing to try with the Trick Worm is to cast it on top of Lily Pads and pull it slowly across the tops,letting it drop in between pads.Good Luck! Quote
Boogey Man Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Texas rig it weightless and twitch over shallow vegetation. It also works well wacky rigged. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted January 19, 2010 Super User Posted January 19, 2010 Trick worms are my favorite to use on a light shakeyhead jig. Gives them a little different look than T-rigged. Good luck. Quote
wormycrm99 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I've had great luck fishing them weightless on spinning reel similar to a fluke. Great action. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 6, 2010 Super User Posted February 6, 2010 i find that the best way to determine how to work a bait is to fish them in a swimming pool , if you have access to one , i practice jigs , texas-rigged plastics , crankbaits , swimbaits , etc.. in the pool to see exactly how the bait is reacting and get the action down so when i fish it for real , i have that action perfect ....
