Ethan Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I am a new one to this hobby. So far I have had a really fun time with the Panther Martin small spinnerbaits. All I have caught are some yearlings and some bream. Now I have bought 4 packs of ZOOM worms. They consist of: U-TALE RED SHAD WORMS, FINESSE WATERMELON/RED WORMS, U-TAIL SOUR GRAPE WORMS, and U-TALE PUMPKIN WORMS. I also have Gamakatsu size 3/0 hooks and Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp size 3/0. I was just wondering if anyone of you have any ideas about which of these worms and hooks work for you please tell me. If you have any tips regarding my bass fishing anything is appreciated. Thanks.

Skeeter6598 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Texas rigging the ZOOM worms with the Gamakatsu hooks will be good for starters. If you're completely new to the sport of bass fishing then you've come to a really good place to pick up on tips and techniques! WELCOME! Quote
Ethan Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 Infact I'm so new that I don't even know what a Texas rig is ? Quote
VTbasskid16 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Gamagaktsu are the greatest, always sharp, no roll overs, no rust! You are off to a good start! keep on the forums and read the articles and you will have some fun!!! Quote
VTbasskid16 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 here check this out: http://bassresource.com/beginner/plastic_worms.html You can read more articles "for beginning anglers" A texas rig or T-rig uses a slip sinker above the hook. Some times the sinker is pegged with a tooth pick for heavy cover. t-rigs are usually fished on the bottom but can be swum(?) Quote
bassin4life Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 check out this site on beginers it helpful ;D Quote
Nick_Barr Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Welcome to the board, The red shad worms are my favorite Quote
Super User Marty Posted March 19, 2005 Super User Posted March 19, 2005 All those worms and both brands of hooks will work very well; the only catch is that you have to be working them where bass are. You might check out the beginner's section on this site's home page. Lots of info. Welcome and good luck. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 19, 2005 Super User Posted March 19, 2005 Ethan, I suggest you consider suscribing to the Bassmaster monthly magazine publised by B.A.S.S. and attending the Bassmaster University when it is in your area. Bass Times is also a very good publication. And the guys on this site are the best. Go top www.bassmaster.com for more information and tips, too. Quote
Fatdaddy150 Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 I agree with sam!! Bassmaster magazine!! But this is the most informative site about bass fishing with over 1,000 members there are a bunch of good fisherman on this site, and these guys are not afraid to give up their secerts!! Read as many threds as you can and you'll be a seasoned veteran by the end of the season. Thanks for joining and welcome. Tight Lines, Fatdaddy151 Quote
