jvox Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Ok, so this is my first year fishing with plastic worms. Actually, pretty much my first year not just going for carp haha. I've been fishing plastic worms weightless with decent results, but I always see people talking about fishing them weighted. Will I have much better results if I do put a weight on the end? The main reason I dont do it is because there is alot of vegetation in the waters I fish and i dont want the weight getting caught on all that bullsh*t on the bottom because it's annoying haha. Thanks!! Got this one last night in the weeds with a 10" powerworm and a Gama. G-lock Quote
crazy4bass1 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 well if its working for you i would stick to weightless I am like you my home lake has alot of weeds at the bottom so i use wieghtless worms to stay out of the weeds Quote
rondef Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I prefer weightless because of the grass and hydrilla. Quote
jvox Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Alright cool. So I guess I'm not the only one doing this. Thanks!! Quote
hawghunter1744 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I fish a 10" ribbontail worm with a bullet weight on it and I have a ton of hydrilla and milfoil in my lake. The weight lets the worm sink deep down in the grass where the big boys hide. Yes, you get grass on it from time to time but that's worth the fish I pull out. Quote
jvox Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 A fish wont hit the lure if it's got some grass on it though right? Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted June 12, 2008 Super User Posted June 12, 2008 pulling a weighted worm through the weeds on the bottom is a killer technique. Quote
jvox Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Ok, I'm gonna try it out tonight. Thanks. Quote
BassinBoy Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Whether you have a weight or not if you get caught in grass just pop it out. Most worms are slender enough to do this and if the bass are down deep in grass you need a weight. Quote
