BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 12, 2018 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 12, 2018 Well folks, I decided to reveal a technique I've been keeping to myself for several decades. I've been doing this with great success since the 80's. And now you know it too. 15 4 Quote
Dorado Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 First thing I’m going to watch when I get home from work today. You da man!!!! Quote
lo n slo Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 thanks G-man ? watching a floating worm sink out of sight is maddening Quote
Super User burrows Posted June 13, 2018 Super User Posted June 13, 2018 Thanks Glen that was a good video. 1 Quote
Dorado Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Great video Glenn! When you finished rigging up, the result looked like the first time I attempted Texas-rigging a Senko back in my youngest years lol. Previous to this video, I always paid close attention rigging a weightless trick worm to perfection. This really has me pondering now. Thanks for sharing 2 Quote
38 Super Fan Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Thought I was pretty handy with the old floating worm... but I learned a lot here Glenn. Very well done. 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted June 13, 2018 Super User Posted June 13, 2018 Gonna try this out.I catch some on trick worms but mostly dead-sticking,and occasionally get one on the retrieve.I haven't caught as many lately on them but I bet that'll change now. Thanks,Glenn. Quote

Tom Yup. Most of the YouTuber's out there are too young to know about this technique. In fact, they mostly just copy each other. I'd rather inject something unique from decades of my own experience into each of my videos; but this one is especially pulled from the 'ol archives. It will be interesting to see how many copy my video and claim it as their own idea. LOL! 2 1 2 Quote

My grandfather taught me something similar to this and it works great on those hard days. Quote
Glaucus Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I have a friend who rigs up all of his worms that way and swears by it. Quote
Todd2 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I've been throwing a t-rig since the late 80's and was taught to make sure it's straight. Now I'm thinking that I don't need to be so particular with it. Quote
RichardJarel Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Ditto on the above question: "It that a "ZOOM" trick worm? I'd like to try additional FLOATING worms on my NED, Shakey head etc, but want the worms/plastics to float. Being new to this, I've had a hard time trying to figure out which plastics float and which don't. I've done the taste test (salty= non floating), but still not sure. Even some of the Zman TRD's don't float. I pull them out of the bag and test float at home before going out to fish. THANK YOU! Richard Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 13, 2018 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 13, 2018 Yes, it's a Zoom trick worm. Technically, it floats by itself. But once you add a hook, it will slowly sink due to the weight of the hook. A lot of "floating worms" are that way. But as I describe in the video, you want it to slowly sink. The action you impart makes it look like an injured minnow. So a slow sink is what you want. 1 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted June 13, 2018 Super User Posted June 13, 2018 The way you rig that trick worm Glenn is cool. It makes a big difference in the action of the bait. The times I've used a trick worm I rigged it in the classic unweighted texas rig and couldn't get much action on it. Next time I'm gonna try it your way. Quote
Yakalong Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 great video! I will being trying this in the very near future, like tomorrow thanks Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted June 14, 2018 Super User Posted June 14, 2018 Cool trick. My buddy turned me on to the Trick Worm several years ago and now I almost always have one tied on for smaller bodies of water. I'm going to try this trick next time out. Quote
HeyCoach Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 I may have bought a 20 pack of white truck worms today... Quote

Thanks,Glenn. When I first started using this bait, I thought of it as a springtime jerkbait. I started catching a lot more when I experimented with fishing it slowly. One of the best days I ever had with it I was simply dropping it near wood and letting it sink like a wacky rig. 1 Quote
