CRANKSTER Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Just picked up some 8" and 12" Jelly worm's at BPS today in grape and blackberry. Haven't used them before. Just wandering what your favorite ways of fishing them are. T-rig, shakey head, c-rig, etc...? Quote
DRhodes Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I have always T-Rigged mine and had success. I love the Jelly Worm. Quote
bigtimfish Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Tx rigged. But, I also love 'em on a c rig. They float very nicely. 12" is the way to go Quote
Dixon Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 What size hook for the 12inch jellyworm? Also what size weight do you use texas rigging Quote
flipin4bass Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I use a 6/0 EWG for the 12", but a 5/0 will do in a pinch. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted June 15, 2010 Super User Posted June 15, 2010 Jelly worms are great oldies and still work wonders today. I Texas rig them. For the sizes you bought, go with the larger (6/0) EWG hooks, as that's a lot of plastic to get balled up in a bass's mouth! Quote
river-rat Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I've used the 8" Jelly Worm since the early 70's mostly during summer/fall and at night. I always use a texas rig with a 5/0 straight shank or offset bend hook. I let the fish determine the size of the slip sinker to use depending on their mood. Quote
Big Tom Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I have been wanting to get some of these worms for a while now. I am going to pick up some of the 12" baits as soon as I can. Quote
Dave P Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 around 1/2 oz weight would be good. They're a big fat worm! Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted June 17, 2010 Super User Posted June 17, 2010 I actually prefer a light weight with the large worms. My preference is the 1/8th. ounce size. Works for me. Quote
DRhodes Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I actually prefer a light weight with the large worms. My preference is the 1/8th. ounce size. Works for me. I'm the same way. The lighter weights are my preference but I have used heavier bullet weights and had alot of success. Quote
YNCBASSMAN Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 i use the 8" on a 5/0 ewg hook and a 3/16 oz screw in sinker. i like the lighter weight to give the worm more action. Quote
KC Bass Fanatic Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 What size hook for the 12inch jellyworm? Also what size weight do you use texas rigging Owner Oversize worm hook - 7/0 for the 8" and 11/0 for the 12". Best big worm hook on the market. I T-Rig these on a light bullet (3/8oz) weight - great worm. Quote
