Floating Worms

[Mobasser]

This is old I'm sure, and probably thousands of folks know this trick, but I thought I'd pass it along.                              Most folks prefer a floating plastic worm with a shakey head.                                   Take a straight plastic worm. A Zoom Trick Worm is a good example. Clip about 1/8" off the tail. Take a round toothpick and thread it into the tail of the worm. Thread around 1" or so into the worm. Cut off any excess toothpick flush with the tail.          Toothpicks will float, and will cause the tail of your plastic worm to float up off the bottom. You could do this with a shakey head, open hook jig worm style, or probably a t rig worm.                  Basically, doing this, you've created a floating, or semi floating plastic worm. Almost any straight tail plastic worm can work. This can make your bait more visible, and hopefully, draw more strikes from the bass.

Bizz Baits Dizzy Diamond worm was my answer. Though the toothpick looks really simple. The Dizzy Diamond floats up and it comes strongly scented so all I have to do is put it on the hook and go.
