bitsandbass Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 As the title says! Something like the Hit Worm. Will dangling one of these under a bobber work for bass? Was thinking about hooking this up for the kids who cannot cast all day (and it gets old real fast changing nightcrawlers 24/7 because the kids are missing the hits!). It would be great if I could wacky o ring one of these under a bobber, cast out, and let the kids have fun. But with no action, will anything take it? Thanks. Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted May 11, 2018 Super User Posted May 11, 2018 In my opinion you'd be better off rigging up a grub. Any water action of as we all know kids like to retrieve and cast a lot, will give the curl tale action. There's a pretty popular bass technique called float n fly that would also work. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 11, 2018 Super User Posted May 11, 2018 There may be a little bit of action with the subtle currents in most bodies of water. Though I've not tried these yet, so I don't know of their bouyancy or heaviness. In years past we've fished wacky rigs under a float and had lots of success. So I think it'd be worth a try, for sure.

Cool thanks. Yeah I meant to say I'm fishing from shore, so its a camping chair with dead stick for the little guy. Way less dead stick action than from a boat. So people have had success dead sticking senkos under a bobber from shore? I have a bunch of YUM Dingers. Never tried them under a bobber though. I figured the Maxscent additive would help for deadsticking vs a plain plastic. Quote

The scent may help a little more. Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted May 12, 2018 Super User Posted May 12, 2018 You might be better off with some Berkley Powerbait pinched crawlers or maggots. I have fished these on a small hook under a float. Panfish love them. Quote
Deeare Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Try the Berkeley hellgrammites. I use them for the kids under a float and they catch everything. Mostly panfish but they get lots of action so the kids don't get board. Quote
