Bass Stopper Worms

[lazyfish01001]

Does anyone here use them? I bought this stupid looking black worm with 3 hooks in it a few weeks ago, and I have caught bass on it every pond I have been to since. I was at a small farm pond under and acre on the fourth of july. A true redneck friend looked in my tackle box and suggested I use that black worm with the three hooks and the white line on it. I figured he's older and his neck is a deeper red than mine, so he must know what he's talking about. Sure enough, I caught 1 decent LMB and 1 rock bass over 10" in a hour and pulled up 3 monsters that managed to get off the hook. I just went there again yesterday and used the same worm. I pulled out 5 good sized bass and lost a couple more. The biggest bass tail flapped me in the balls 4 times. He had to weigh at least 2 pounds, so imagine that slapping you in the jewels while trying to unhook it. The water was murky and I was casting along the banks and caught 2 while letting it sink down in the middle of the pond. It's a great bait for less than $3. I dare you to try it.

My Brother in Law likes that bait quite a bit.

 

btw - does fishing without pants allow you to get better action out of the worm ?

I don't use them personally, but when I'm introducing someone to fishing I'll have them use it along with a Mepps and a Beetle Spin.

Sounds a lot like a pre-rigged Creme Scoundrel that they seem to sell at every gas station/hole in the wall bait shop in NC.  I own a black one w/a white stripe down the side; never used it, but may just have to give it a try.

K&E Worms were some of the first soft plastics that I learned to fish with, and they do catch fish.  I've fished them weightless when I need something with a slow fall, used them with a split shot in windy conditions, and as the working end of a Carolina Rig.  I've stated before that this is one of those "secret" weapons that a lot of tournament fishermen up here won't talk about.

 

Bad news is that those small hooks can pull free if you don't play the fish a little easier once they're hooked up.  I always try to not horse the fish into the boat and the number of "long line releases" dropped quite a bit.

 

My favorite colors include: Purple Firetail, Natural, Blue White Stripe, and Pumpkinseed.

Haha! No... I was just hot so you know, the pants went first. But really, I wore pants and have a bad habit of pulling the fish to my leg/crotch to keep them from spinning when I take out the hook.
