There's really no secrets, because every day's different. Remember though, worms are silent, and LMB most likely need to see them before they bite. Haste makes waste when worm fishing.

There's a thousand great types, brands, and sizes for worm hooks, but whatever you go with, make sure the hook gape is large enough to clear the worm body when you set the hook. I primarily use Owner hooks, but that's just my personal preference.

I used to drive past 2 BPS stores to get to Cabelas. Since BPS bought them out, and started putting their branded items in Cabelas, I shop at neither anymore.

Will do, on the YouTube reviewing. And slower is better, copy that. No doubt, crazy number of hook choices. I'll look for some Owner brand. Thanks for the tips!


If you have never fished a senko before, you are in for a treat. A senko, rigged wacky or weedless (check youtube), is straight up bass magic in a pond. They fall slowly through the water column on a stationary line. When you pick it up again, be ready to set the hook as they'll hit it on the fall or pick it up off the bottom. If you've done a real texas rig with a new senko, set the hook hard to pull the hook through the plastic and into the fish.
