charlie brewer slider worms

I've heard that these slider worms and slider heads (basically a jig head with a flattened weight) are a good choice when the bite is tough.  How do you fish these?  Basically like any other t-rigged worm?

I prefer the Spider Slider (a more cone shaped head) since I'm usually fishing around a lot of cover. Basically, Slider fishing is swimming the lure using light line without any added action by the fisherman. The technique mimics small baitfish that move about without any noticable body movement-kind of sliding through the water. I rig the tail verticle, but some rig it horizonal.

the slider worms are also good on a shakey head and wacky rigged.  I use them a lot on a roundhead jig and just swim them back to me.

I have been fishing Slider Worms for a lot of years.  Usually rig it on a 2/0 worm hook and just swim it back or fish it like any other worm (drag and drop).  I have caught a lot of fish on the brown/orange color.  That is my "go to" bait when I need some fish.  

I buy all mine direct from them also.  They will provide you with a copy of their catalog and an order blank.  Can order via the phone also.  Friendly/helpful folks. Good web site too.

i like swimming them back to me or "popping it".

when i swim it i rig the worm to where the tail is vertical.

when popping it ill rig it horizontal.

       throw it out

       let it sink for 1 count or 2 counts

       lift up

       let it sink to about 3 feet off the bottom

       lift up or "pop" it

       repeat until you bring that fish in

Charlie Brewer Slider System is known as the Do Nothing system because you do just that

Been fishing these since @ '71 or '72.  Used to read Charlie's articles in the Fishing Facts magazine and ordered his kit.  Never been w/o them since.  Everything suggested is good advice.  I try to slowly swim them somewhere in the column---down to just off the bottom.  Sometimes hopping and/or bottom bouncing.  My wife usually wears me out with this technique.  I, too, prefer the Spider head.  And you can catch some big bass with this method.

I too have been fishing these rigs since the '70s.  Won the first tournament I fished in '81 swimming this lure.  Had total weight and big fish.

Hmmm....seems like I've been doing this all wrong.  I was fishing them real slow like a shakey head.  I'll have to try out swimming them back.

Wayne is right on.  The first time I used a slider was in a tournament about 14 years ago on Lake of the Ozarks.  It was in the middle of August, and the fish were deeper and had lock jaw.  My boater had located a ledge with bass stacked up on it, and as soon as we landed on it he started hauling out fish on his slider.  I looked at his bait, and figured it was just a weenie worm, and tied on a weenie worm on a jighead.  After he had his limit, and I didn't have a fish, he tossed me a slider worm in Camo color and slider head.  I had not seen or heard of a 'slider' at that point.  He instructed me on how to fish it, and I immediately started catching fish.  He came in first place, and I came in second.  Now sliders have a permanent home in my tackle box .

Thta flat-headed spider jighead is also a great way to fish a super fluke. Get's it a bit deeper.

Ooooooooh...now there's an idea!  I love super flukes, but nearly always rig them weightless.  I'm going to add this idea to my list of things to try.
