What makes a "trick worm" different than the hundreds of others?

How do you guys fish them...wacky?

They seem awfull thin to T rig 'em

Thanks

There is really nothing different about them.  Most companies model their straight tail worms after the trickworm.

To fish them wacky you just take a hook (I perfer a 3/0 circle hook) and put it through the middle of the worm and just throw it out and let it sink and pull up and repeat.  The worm has a lot of action on the fall without you having to do anything.

Yeah they are a little thin, but not to thin to Texas-rig.  I have caught many fish on them Texas-rig.

I murdered some bass this summer with the Key Lime Pie color. I was primarly rigging them on a shakey head, but I did well with them drop shotin when I ran out of Roboworms

Thanks Guys

[bigredxlt]

they work really well t-rigged weightless. I just let em sink then twitch them back. Heck I even let my girlfriend (never fished before) try them out and she caught a bigger fish in 15 mins that I did all day. Wacky rigging works well too but I seem to catch only dinks.

[Mike L]

OK

Thanks guy's I'll try them both ways this weekend.

I guess the word "trick" got me thinking they are something they're not

The trick in the Trickworm is that it performs all kinds of tricks to catch fish. 

[Vinny Chase]

This is one of those baits where its nearly impossible to fish wrong. I like to fish it t-rigged in the middle of the bait. Instead of going in then immediately out, feed that hood down to about 4 in down the bait then out. This gives a tantalizing back and forth motion from both ends.

DEADLY!

Imma try that next time im out.

I've even had success just reeling the trick worm at a fairly decent pace and watching it swim like a snake.  I do that and let it sit for a couple seconds to sink then reel some more just like that.  I use a T-rig when doing this, and if its rigged right you'll see the snake like motion it makes.

Thanks again guys I'm gonna remember this!

Don't let Larry Nixon hear you say that.  The Trick Worm is his favorite...

[K_Mac]

For me the Trickworm is one of those baits that just works. I agree it really to thin to t-rig, but either weighted or not a t-rigged Trickworm catches fish. Most of the time I fish them on a shakyhead. They seem too big to be a good shakyhead bait; they are not. Wacky they seem too thin; they are not. Like a Senko, I don't know why they work, but I know they do.

BTW they did not work today. :

Don't overlook a trick worm on a c-rig either.

[J Francho]

Too thin to t-rig?  Just get a smaller hook.  Just match the hook to the bait.  They make these down to #2.  A 2/0 will be fine for a Trick Worm.

Fish trick worms as follows:

Spinning rig.

6 to 8 pound test fluorocarbon line.

2/0 or 3/0 straight shank hook or a weedless hook if fishing in grass.

You can put a bead in front of the hook eye if you wish.

Cast and by using your rod tip move the worm like a snake in the water.

I use pink mostly followed by white.

Trick worms float which makes them different from other finesse plastics.

Excellent bait in the summer.

You can also fish them shaky head, however if you use a plastic specifically designed for shaky head presentations the worm will do a better job of standing up straight.

You can wacky rig any plastic, even a lizard on a Carolina rig.

man... the trick worm is probably the most versatile plastic out there. ive caught fish on a black trick worm in every season in every circumstance. its an instant "go to" lure to catch SOMETHING. i most often throw them either weightless on a 3/0 and twitch it over through grass, on a shakey head, or my favorite, on a c-rig.

deadly man.

[guitarkid]

I have caught more fish on trick worms than everything else combined.

ill have to agree with the black trick worm.  its definately my go to color.

[Avalonjohn44]

I love the trick worm, one of my favorites too.  I like them t-rigged and wacky.  Tried the Magnum Trick Worm a couple of weeks ago, and I'm hooked on that now.  Zoom did the impossible and improved on the perfect bait.

Thanks Fellas

I used a black trick worm this weekend at a small pond where my son lives in GA.

I T rigged it and threw weightless.

I noticed it didn't float, but sank VERY slowly...

Got 3 that averaged maybe 2 lbs each with the first 5 cast's! Switched to a fluke...nothing

Back to the worm got another!

Yep, I see what you guys are saying.

Thanks

I think the weightless trick worm is a great option if they won't commit to the fluke. If I see a fish following my fluke but not bite, I go to a trick worm style bait (I'll take this time to plug Culprit's new T-Rex worm....buy it!) of a similar color.
