kayakkrack Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 How do you guys fish a trickworm, like hook size or color and stuff. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 Green pumpkin on sunny days, june bug on dark days. 1/16th oz wacky jig and hang on. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 There is soooo many ways to rig is you could fill a book... 1/4oz Texas rig with a 2/0 round bend hook is a great way to fish it, I like the color bruised banana the most! Throw it on a wacky rig, Texas rig, Carolina rig, shakey head, dropshot, you name it! 1 Quote
kikstand454 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I fish a trick worm more than any other plastic. Weightless on top -3/0 EWG. T-rig and Carolina rig -3/0 round bend worm Shaky head Drop shot They catch fish. Period. My favorite color is black. If I can't have that. ... I want black. Watermelon red flake, junebug, banana swirl and bubblegum are other favs. Quote
5fishlimit Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 There's no wrong way to fish a trick worm. 2 Quote
Washout Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Shakey head, T-Rig, jig it, or drop shot are the ways I've had success with one. Pumpkin seed, watermelon/red and junebug are my favorite colors. Quote
gramps50 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Watermelon red flake, junebug, banana swirl and bubblegum are other favs. What conditions would you fish bubblegum? Quote
Heron Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Shakey head, Weightless T-rig, Drop shot. Watermelon/chrtr tail, Junebug, Bubblegum. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 31, 2014 Global Moderator Posted August 31, 2014 There's no wrong way to fish a trick worm. X2, they'll catch bass every way you can rig a plastic from weightless on a spinning rod with light line, to pitching into heavy cover with heavy line on a baitcaster. I own dozens of different colors and brands of straight worms but it's pretty hard to beat green pumpkin, watermelon red, and black. A 1/8oz shakyhead is my favorite way to fish them. 1 Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I fish the trick worm almost exclusively now. I always T-rig mine with a 1/16oz-3/16oz weight and fish it multiple ways. Picking it up and letting it fall works the best for me, and twitching it is a close second. Dragging it works, pretty much any way you can think to fish it. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 Trigged, Wacky Weedless ( 2/0 Owner SSW hooks) or 3/0 mosquito... Short tricks on Swim jigs, normal size on football jigs ... I could go on, like others said.. It's a bait that really has nearly endless rigging options, you gotta love that. My color is green pumpkin/ gold flake and Black.. So many, many colors available. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 All good recommendations above - however using a 3/0 size worm hook is a bit better suited for a Trick Worm (for a finesse worm a 2/0 size worm hook is ideal) . 1 Quote
kikstand454 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 What conditions would you fish bubblegum?I like bubblegum in tannic water near cypress trees and also sometimes in tidal rivers. Tidal rivers are REALLY good for the yellow or yellow swirl trick worms. Rigged weightless and fished like a jerk bait just under the surface. Just note. The zoom trick worm is a great weightless worm, but there are MUCH better floating worms. I was just throwing that out there as something it can do well. Quote
frogflogger Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 sometimes I drop down to 1/0 or 1 hook size to get things just right - they still stick big fish. 1 Quote
Heron Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Occassionally, just for fun, I'll take the rear treble off of a Jitterbug, and replace it with a T-rigged trick worm. This gives the jitterbug sort of a rat tail. 2 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 1, 2014 Super User Posted September 1, 2014 That's new ^^^ haha Quote
Super User Darren. Posted September 1, 2014 Super User Posted September 1, 2014 I use from a size 2 - 1/0 for wacky rigging. Colors: black; green pumpkin chartreuse tip; green pumpkin hold flake; watermelon magic, red. Also TX, Jika rig them. 1 Quote
richienyc Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Look up videos on how to fish a flick shake rig. Its basically wacky rigging on a circle hook jighead and it is deadly on bass and works when nothing else seems to work. Super finesse and realistic. Quote
riverbasser13 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 The baby bass and rainbow trout colors work great for me in the river's, either shakeyhead style or with the arkie u heads in 1/8 or 3/16. That real quiet splashdown is the ticket with these. Quote
FishermanReed Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I use junebug color, Texas rigged. Quote
Slade House Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 During spawn texas rigging white onto beds is killer 1 Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted September 1, 2014 Super User Posted September 1, 2014 Carolina and mojo rig, good weightless though too on spinning gear. Quote
