I dont like peeing on tour party but the old slug o does the same thing.
I hope my fishing buddy didn’t see this. I like making him mad when I catch fish on a pink worm. 😅
Poor could not see it in the water.
Learned years ago to rig the hook deeper into the nose of the worm so it threads o yo the line and it will bend when you twitch it and makes the worm dart side around pretty good too
Best tip - don't overwork the bait. Let it do it's thing.
Discovered that bend technique several years ago by accident when I rigged it different. Another trick I do is thread the worm up the line so the hook is about 2 more inches down the worm. Sounds weird but it really works good.
Yup, same.
you prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Emmitt Sutton instablaster =)
@Rogelio Anakin thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Rogelio Anakin It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
What brand worms do you recommend? You mentioned colors, but not which ones to buy. Thanks.
Zoom ..pink..metholate...
Brought back memories, thanks. Back 55 years ago we wanted the worm to just float and tick the weeds. So we carried syringes with us to inject a little air in tail. We wanted to regulate the fall rate. If we carried syringes today we might get some odd looks. Thanks again
That's funny
You can still get a worm blower that doesn’t look like a syringe
@@AlergicToSnow yes, they have them at Walmart
I've been fishing floating worms for at least 25 years. I keep a rod rigged for floaters year round. I've caught more than a handful of heavyweight bass on floating worms. It's truly a deadly presentation when fished in the right place. Never put one on crooked except the times I may have enjoyed to many refreshments. Lol. May just have to give that a try. That side to side action is pretty much what a weightless sinko does naturally.
Just stumbled onto your video... Wow! Thank you! I liked it, and subscribed. Now... where can I buy your rod?
Yo, dude... !!! I am CONSTANTLY surprised that U-tubers are CLUELESS about how irritating it is when they record in a garage, office, etc. that has hard surfaces and results in obnoxious REVERVB... And, also fail to understand the value of editing their audio soundtrack with the use of a compressor / limiter to even out the extremes in decibel volumes... Just sayin'.
I really enjoyed that especially the demo. Incidentally, I have two of the proficiency rods 7'2" M/H, I love them.
2/0 offset round bend is best! Also 6'6 med or MH with 10# mono. All u need!
Why go small when you can go big with hook. The fish is so focused on bright color size of hook don't matter.
Horrible technique. Ignore this video, especially if you fish tournaments in the North Jersey area.
Great info Man,,!!!🎣
Just used this for the first time on my home lake. Caught a nice 4-pounder up shallow in late April on an overcast day. Bubble gum pink.
Been fishing them since 1973. Floating worms were never meant to float on top of the water like the name implies. They are designed to float up off the bottom with a sliding bullet weight. Basically puts em in front of their face when they are on the bottom. 12lb Stren slowed the sink when they are on the reaction bite. Always baitcasting. No twisted line from the Spinner. Best bag is 35lbs for 5 fish at Lake Castaic. 1978
Ahhh, this just confirms what I've been doing for years, putting bends in my worms when using weightless floating worms. Thanks for sharing D.D..
So FLOATING is a relative term since the rig actually doesn't float / rise, but rather sinks more slowly. Got it.
I have good success letting the worm sink on a point from 8 to 16 feet and then slowly twitch it back in pausing to let it sink again. You will see your line start going off to one side.........yep another one got it.
I fish a particular lake where the fishing pressure is extreme and the water is clear. Lots of times they will not come up to get the worm, so if you drop it down to them they will take it. This is a slow lazy approach but with a 5/0 hook sinks faster than you think.
I love fishing heavy cover too, just that when the fish move out of that and out into open water on points and humps, you can still have fun with a floating worm letting it sink down to them.
Worked well yesterday as the spawn is late and the bass were holding on secondary points and structure about 100 feet into the coves, we had a couple more COLD.......Brrrrr days and nights and as it warmed up again the bait fish moved into the coves and the bass followed them, so I would find a ditch or stumps or something in the back middle of a cove and they were staged there. They would not come up but worked well sinking it to them.
I only kept two males to eat, our first spring fresh fish. Caught six nice Bluegills on a beetle spin to go with them, do not wish to clean more than that. Lol.
Cheers

Love the bubblegum floating worm...
what position do u hold the rod/rod tip when working the worm. Like a jerkbait or elevating the tip up?
You should check out Doug Hannons floating worm rigging
This title is misleading. I didn’t see a floating worm anywhere in this video. I love fishing floating worms, but these are trick/finesse worms in the video.
Us old guys know about them floating worms! I’ve caught a lot of bass on them.
Grew up throwing the pre rigged deal from Walmart ... and smoked em. Once I “learned” about bass fishing I thought it was ridiculous. Crazy
Love the way you rigged this!
Did you get the pool setup to show how different baits run?
Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge! Caught the bass fishing bug last year and working hard to get better at it and rely on people like you (multiple time AOY) to help me shorten the learning curve. Went out to Briery late yesterday and caught 4 with the biggest being 4lbs 6oz. Used a green pumpkin senko rigged with pointed end on the knot and a heavy kink in the worm.
Don't start the hook in the center of the nose of the worm. Insert at 1/4" BELOW the nose.
Damn double d, you forgot to tell the people to be sure to use a swivel for joining the braid to fluoro. The floating worm is a line twisting sob. Plus, it adds weight to help it sink out of sight
Awesome video's I love watching
There's a pond about 900 feet from my house; I'm headed down there in about ten minutes to give the crooked floater a try. Thanks.
Any luck?
@@lambassted3040 No strikes at the pond but the crookedly floater got some attention at a couple of lakes from the early morning bass.
Use a syringe put it in lengthwise full worm with air Pinch off below the air bubble as you pull the needle out melt the hole closed with a lighter ! Works good with real worms but don,t melt the hole shut !!
im sure glad you didnt stick that hook in your face at 6:03. that was one of them pucker moments
I hate spinning reals, why couldn’t you use a bait caster?
I have been using a floating worm for ever it's a great bait been using them scents the late 70s
Some great information. Thanks for sharing!
Mark Daniels Jr won an event recently with a floating worm
Must be nice having a private pond on your property. Lol
Always Carolina rigged them about a foot off the bottom to good effect on walleyes
I fish a lot from the bank. I do not have a boat.A lot of grass and rocks in the areas I fish one pond and one local lake.
i prefer to center hook the floating worm ...like with the senko
What brand of floating worm do you use?
I remember somebody showing me about the crooked rigging 20+ years ago when i was a kid. You just reminded me of it. Whatever i remember being taught regarding it kind of all just came back to me now. This video couldn't have came at the best time since i just starting making that worm yesterday. a 6" BOT worm. Subscribed, thanks again!
Great presentation, thanks for posting.
I remember you and your dad fishing tournaments together when you were a young teen at SML. I'm from Salem and have fished there since the mid 70's. Thanks for the tip and good luck!
You need a new bigger hat. Kool vid.
Thanks so much David. I used to use a swivel to counter the line twist. Do you? And OUTTRO
Will this also work from the bank?
Why on earth is there dislikes on this video smh
What? No barrel swivel?
How do you manage the line twist, with a swivel?
Not sure my OCD will allow me to rig up the floating work crooked lol
Hahahahah
You're spot-on with that technique. I've been using the Creme Scoundrel like this for most of my life. Great video D.
Get out on the water and show me it's spring time
I always have a floating worm tied on all year. If I can’t catch them on that. I can’t catch them on anything. It’s my confidence bait for sure. I always use a 4/0 light wire hook with a swivel. I have a swivel with about 6-8” leader. I do change my swivel size depending on how deep I want it. I also use 15lb braided line but I always use 10lb floro leader. My secret is black. I know a lot of people don’t use black but I seem to catch bigger bass with black worm. I usually only use three colors white, black, and green pumpkin. That’s what works for me. I never go to the lake without it tied on. I’ve probably almost have become to dependent on it.
I didnt hear you say anything about a swivel. Am I messing up by using one? Or swivel only good for certain conditions? Been getting my butt kicked by this technique for too long. Time to learn! Your video has helped a bunch!!
Swivel was done for using straight florocarbon
No swivel Mr David?
Hey Dave, Thanks for the floating worm video! I haven't fished one in years. Great job.
Loved seeing that worm in action and the bass at the end. Just subscribed.
What brand of worms do you use? My Zman floating worms will not sink with even a 5/0 hook.
Hahah true that they are floating plastics. I use zoom!
Where do you get the worms
Everyone needs puddles of cuddles with duddles! You like a pokemon, catchin em all!
I've tried using these worms for years at Lake Casitas in cali,. Never caught one fish on it.. is it more of a east coast thing that the fish like?
Tyler a Bass is a Bass no matter where you are from!
@@DavidDudley im a guide out here in California and the bass at this lake will not bite that worm..I don't know what it is.. it gets bit at other places around.. Just not here. Its awesome advice though and love your stuff.
Great information
Will it work for pike
Do you use a Swivel.
I am a 70 ye old bass fisherman and I have seen lots of techniques come and go, but young man, every time you introduce a new twist or some new info, you live up to the hype. I can see why you are a successful tour angler and you have a personality to go along with it. I have learned something from every one of your videos. Best of luck with MLF!
how long leader?
Awesome video
Who the hell would dislike the video? Great work David... very thankful to learn the details on this!
I thought the same thing chris
No swivel.
Goldmine
Thanks David for this video.guys like you are truly awesome. You guys help us beginners so much thank you an BE SAFE AN GOD BLESS.
I learned about the floating worm from an episode of Roland Martin's tv show back in the 90s. He called it "the bubble gum worm technique" & to this very day I've got some bubble gum pink Zoom Trick worms in my tackle box. 👍
So i remember passin on very few of your episodes last year,but this was 1.so i just watched & thank god i did.had NO IDEA(but makes sense)the importance of rigging.gonna throw it on exact rig cuz i bought your "sweetie"
GREAT VIDEO Dawg!! I Just *"Liked & Subscribed!!"* Thanks Brotha, Keep'em Coming!
It work flawlessly 🔥, I been using the floating worm wrong all this time, THANK YOU!!!!
Here in Central Missouri I watched bass patrolling stumps/rocks on a warm day last week. Had some success with drop shotting a roboworm but kept spooking them. Heading out late Monday to try bubblegum and menthiolate both described ways along with wacky rigged! Excited to try it out!
Awesome video. I've fished this technique for 45 years. Lol. Awesome
Very well presented with complete information, including the lines, hook sizes and rigging demo. Thanks also for the shhh tips! Gonna try it out!’
Thanks I love you vids I always learn something 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
With all this Corona hanging around would like thank you and all the pros 😊👍 for sharing your experience 🐟
You surely don’t buy into that bs to ya Or at least not a year later. It’s proven now it was all a hoax. Gov is not doctors. They silenced real Practicing doctors and ordered their agendas They care nothing about our health. Look no further than abortion.
Great information and presentation. Thanks D. I’m 77 and used to throw the S WORM a lot. Just started again and it all came back to me quickly. Was using it straight to cover a lot of grass and caught em that way. Appreciate your details and I’ll be throwing it through the summer 👍
I used to fish a floating worm back in the 80's. Now that I've gotten back into fishing, I'm going to start using your technique. Hurry up spring.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video!! Thank-You very much, Jim.
I just have to thank you for taking the time to show this technique. The video was concise to the point and it showed exactly what we needed to do. Again, thank you!
So I caught a nice bass floating a Z-Man bubble gum Finesse Wormz. I gave you a shout out on Fishbrain. Fishbrain is a nice app, but your lures are not listed on it. I wonder if you can do something about that?
I am gonna try that crooked technique this weekend. Thank YOU !
I hate that I missed the live stream.
Bet scaling this technique down will work for trout, perch, panfish and miniature manta rays!
Fantastic video. You give more technique details than any other float worm video that I have seen, and I've seen a bunch. You bring the juice !
What brand do you like
Zoom
Great video and great details on why you do it the way you do. Thank you. Ps your my favorite pro You Tuber.
I've been workin' so hard to get that worm straight. I won't have ant trouble riggin' it crooked. Can't wait to try this on my next trip out.
Big D yeah my dad used those pre rigged worm harnesses and hook me across my forehead I was maybe 3 I’m 57 now. Wish I had a buck for every hook I’ve yanked out of somewhere. Lol That thing looks pretty awesome I like the big bend less forward movement, almost like a walking bait. God Bless and peace
What's your thoughts on using a swivel from your braid to leader ?
Good lesson there. Thanks for showing us how it's done. I'm glad I found your channel.
Do you not use a swivel in front? And when you say sub surface, is it going just visible, or deeper, or 6 inches below surface?
Dang, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time! Thanks for the tips!
My go to bait spring through fall. In AZ the water is clear 95% of the time. I have most success throwing it wherever you'd throw a frog during sunrise or sunset. I just throw it & let it sink twitch 1 or 2 times sink it & repeat. Trickworms work best for me.
