I love the floating worm setup and always have one tied up. The added benefit that I found is that you can switch to a fluke in seconds. If you see bait fish near by, switch on the run.
I agree completely, I have one tied on year round, you can also put a small finishing nail in the head , when they move out to points after spawn and wear them out with it. My color of choice is Redbug just seems to be the most consistent for me in Arkansas. Great video!
@@BassFishingHQ Been watching your content for a while now. Really enjoy the content. I have a question if you had no thumbs to control a baitcasting reel is there a setup to use on a spinning setup for heavy cover bass?
I have the Zoom Floating Worm in methanolate red. Only have 2 left from years ago. I love Wacky rig's with the Yum Dinger's in Green Pumpkin color. Texas rigged. But I am leaning towards no weight at all. Just got done buying new lures for 2021 and reorganizing all baits in water tight containers. Next week cleaning oiling my reel's and new line will be put on. This long winter was killer with Covid 19 still around. Last year was my best year to date. Looking forward to new Bass catching memories. Shawn.
This video was awesome!! I watched this two days ago and decided to try it at a pond today. I caught 7 large mouth ranging from 1/2 lb up to 2.5 lbs on this exact setup (1/0 circle hook and zoom pink worm wacky rigged)! Best fishing day in years!
I have used the 8'' Creme Scoundrel worms in a hand full of colors for my floating worm. It has been so productive, I never am without some in my boxes. I swim them just beneith the surface, walking the dog, or swimming like a snake. April has been best time of year for me using this. Cast among weedbeds, hang on, have fun!
Actually black color or pumpkin color works the best . I have been fishing with this technique for quite a few years now and it’s definitely one of my favorite Techniques for pre-spawn an after spawn best fishing. I even use this style in summer times . Thanks for the video
That makes a lot of sense and I will definitely be trying it. Last year was the first year I really fished with a wacky rig senko and I was amazed at how many fish I caught.
Good video, good tips. Been using this technique for years. I do use several colors: pink, mathialate, yellow, white, and green pumpkin. When I Texas Rig it I do use a barrel swivel for two reasons; line twist and it allows it to sink a little quicker. With braid you don't really have to worry about line twist though.
Thanks for the info. I run kids fishing group we find speciàl kids low income disabled families with kids and give them rods reels baits what ever they need even help set up parents some just need a blessing also. So learning new baits tricks how to catch certain fish s me help the kids. Cant weight to get all the baits ill need for this spring to give the kids. Hope to travel this year blessing families kids in other states. You have a great week. God bless.
I use this presentation a lot. Most of my success has been with the Creme Scoundrel 6” worm. The colors shift and are close to the favored hues in this video. It resembles a natural nightcrawler.
This was a very well done and informative video. It does crack me up however that I’ve seen almost the exact same video by 6 or 7 different well known UA-cam bass channels and they ALL say, “Man, I really don’t want to give up this secret!” 😂. The others however focused mostly on rigging. You did a great job of speaking to HOW to fish this rig. Great job. 👍🏼
That's crazy bro, I started using pink trick worms after i ran out of stick baits one day. I was supersized how well it worked after i tried it. I will switch worms if im having a hard time getting bit. Best part is the zoom worm holds on the hook way better then like a Gary Yamamoto stick bait, but works just as good. Im gonna have to try that red worm out.
Ahh...the floating trick worm is great. White, merthiolate and bubble gum is awesome.....I love em. Put a slight crook in the worm instead of it being straight and it darts back and forth, spins and has a tons of action. Bubble gum has been the best color for me.
@@eloyvillarrealjmz7360 Steve Rogers has a great video on exactly how to rig it this way. Just search UA-cam for Steve Rogers floating worm and you should be able to find it.
Ran across this video yesterday and decided to give the technique a try this morning. Honestly, I thought there was no way this was going to work in the residential neighborhood pond behind my house. Holy crap was I wrong! I managed to catch nine largemouth bass in 70 minutes on bubblegum pink Zoom worms fished exactly as described in the video. I usually catch one or two fish per day using other lures and I’ve never had a hit or caught a fish on plastic worms in that pond before today. Thanks so much for the detailed and informative video. I’m more of an ocean fisherman and had no idea this goofy looking rig was even a thing never mind how effective it can be. I’m a BELIEVER!
Fished the pink Zoom trick worm again today for an hour after work and caught another five largemouth. 14 fish in the same day and the largest was just over 6 pounds. Can't thank you enough for sharing this technique video!
Good video! In the area that I live (Georgia) I have had good success with the bullfrog color Zoom trick worm. I like a weightless Texas rig and throw it in heavy cover.
For sure! Got turned on to the methiolate color Zoom trick worms by Ike. I have caught many of fish in the dark river waters I fish; usually T-rigged because of the heavy cover.
Great video! I just recently started watching some of your videos and I like the format (mix of explanation and video footage of you fishing) and how thorough you are! You mentioned this is mostly when you're wanting to target largemouth. What are your go-to lures for targeting river smallmouth in the spring? Do you have a bait or lure set up similar to this that is your go-to but specifically for smallmouth in the spring?
I've seen tons of ppl fish this technique but I've never tried it myself- maybe this year I'll get around to it. I was going to try it last year but, what I was doing was working so well I just stuck with it.
I use the same worm but I don’t wacky rig it. I Texas rig it with a size 2/0 or 3/0 hook. I like to run the hook through it so it comes out in the middle more or less. Give yourself an inch or two above the hook where the line is still In the worm. It allows the line to work the bait. If that makes sense. Works awesome for me.
I fish a floating fluke pretty well but I will say that worm has a lot of action. I use a Zman floating jerk shad and It skips well. I fish mainly rivers though. It’s easy to skip flukes under trees in rivers so I bet skipping the wacky rig would be good as long as it doesn’t get hung up too much.
My favorite/go to color for softbait worms is always red laminate shad. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s because it looks like an engorged leech? I always pick up a pack of 7 and 5 inch ones, I also fish a deep river, so it might just be something these feesh like seeing? I’ve tried Junebug and the fish always go bonkers for that
Zoom trick worm has been the first set i bought ever. And i have not used it. I know what im using this weekend if the conditions are correct. Thanks man fo sharing.
I liked your spinner vs chatter video. I think you would excel in making content about older lures and techniques versus their new generation counterparts. Also sorry about all the “this isn’t a new technique” and “don’t post the video if it’s a secret myeeeahh” guys in your comments right now
That's an up eye. Intended to be snelled, most commonly with an eggloop for salmon and steelhead. Look for a straight eye if you don't want to snell. Straight eye octopus. Mosquito hooks work as well, but again, you need to snell them. I like the owner cutting point when I fish the magnum trick worms on heavier casting gear. Heavier gauge wire that won't bend out when you gotta keep them out of the brush...or when you have to drag them through it when fishing from the bank.
I actually stumbled across this because I was fishing a wacky rigged senko and it was spooking the fish off so I decided to try a trick worm and the only color I had was bubblegum
Caught a 4.5lb today on the bubble gum color. All because of this video!!! Love this setup
i have fished the weightless wacky rig for almost 20 years, junebug color works very well
I have for like 10 but seems like all worms just sink now
@@youngmurk100 then use a smaller weight hook with heavier lb test line.
@@adamisom814 will do thanks bro
Never understood wacky rigging. Texas rig it get the same action and more hook ups
@@ThatSB What?! You are crazy bro the action is 100000% different
An old man with a zebco 33 and some pink worms taught me this when I started fishing.

Good to see Ohio in a video. Northern WV here. It’s nice to see a fisherman that faces similar conditions and is not in Florida or Texas
Yea we get those pressured bodies of water often

That’s awesome that you’re on LKN! I’ve been fishing it for awhile and hoping to get in more bass!
Perfect timing! I am fishing a big bass tour tournament on Lake Norman next month and will definitely give this a try! Thank you!
You will catch them there on it. Good luck dude!
How’d it work out for your tournament?
My favorite fishing technique ! Spring is best and it’s so much fun
That makes a lot of sense and I will definitely be trying it. Last year was the first year I really fished with a wacky rig senko and I was amazed at how many fish I caught.
When you said lake norman that's all I needed to hear lol. I'll have to try this technique at Norman this spring
It’s legit man, especially up the lake in the little bit stained water. Which might be more muddy right now judging by your videos
Good video, good tips. Been using this technique for years. I do use several colors: pink, mathialate, yellow, white, and green pumpkin. When I Texas Rig it I do use a barrel swivel for two reasons; line twist and it allows it to sink a little quicker. With braid you don't really have to worry about line twist though.
I gotta try it I've caught hundreds of bass on green pumpkin and lost some big ones on black worm

Great vid,,,,I’m from California and fish the Delta a lot with this technique.....thanks for your input and honesty......
Thanks for watching
Straight killing it.. appreciate the videos. Best of luck.
Semper Fi
Thanks again Dave!
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for.
Your a natural at this. Great content
Thanks for the kind words Robert
Great stuff. Among the best instruction available.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that kind words!
It's funny... .. 40-50 years ago "horsing" a fish in was a cardinal sin ! Coupled with the neck-snapping hook sets. Just a fact. Good video.
For sure! Got turned on to the methiolate color Zoom trick worms by Ike. I have caught many of fish in the dark river waters I fish; usually T-rigged because of the heavy cover.
Yea the t rig can work extremely well. Something about wacky rigging it seems to really do it for me lol

what is a gitzit?
Awesome tip thanks 👍👌
My Dad taught me how to use the floating worm injecting air Into a trike worm using mono back in 1982
Ty , great video I also love the Zoom Bubble gum trick worm. I live in Oklahoma.
Thanks for sharing. I was actually thinking about using this soon here in Southern Indiana. Perfect timing and reassuring!
It works in the summer to been using trick worms forever the all white one is hard to beat it’s my go to on a Texas rig when nothing else works
Thank you for making this video this is really going to help me with my fishing derby that is coming up
I've seen tons of ppl fish this technique but I've never tried it myself- maybe this year I'll get around to it. I was going to try it last year but, what I was doing was working so well I just stuck with it.
I never caught a bass in my life and as soon as I started using a wacky rig and I caught like five 5-6 pounders and 12 other medium n small ones
I love the pink trick worm
Love using my spinning gear
Great video,thanks for sharing and will definitely try this technique this coming bass season🇨🇦
Thanks for your continued content.
You are correct that technique is highly overlooked.
I usually stick to 3 rigs. But they have failed this last couple weeks. I'm ready to try new ones.
I have been preaching this on my youtube channel for years
I use methiolate and the bubblegum but also do better in certain situations such as clear water using the bruised Banana give it a shot.
That looks so fun.
I’ve been fishing a wacky worm for years and the best thing to use if you need a little weight is finishing nails you can cut them for less weight
I use the same worm but I don’t wacky rig it. I Texas rig it with a size 2/0 or 3/0 hook. I like to run the hook through it so it comes out in the middle more or less. Give yourself an inch or two above the hook where the line is still In the worm. It allows the line to work the bait. If that makes sense. Works awesome for me.
Yup that is definitely a great way to rig a floating worm. That presentation is going to be a little more weedless as well
Best fishing channel
Thank you for all your information
Great video! I just bought a bunch of floating worms. Subscribed :)
Awesome video, will be using this Technique this spring
You definitely need to. It is literally one of my favorite ways to catch them!
Mine to caught a lot of big fish on the wacky rig
Looking forward to trying this!
If you fish Norman I’m guessing you are from not too far from me. I’m in Dublin VA. Love your videos buddy.
Going to get some now! Thank you!
Ive been fishing it some I don't think they are shallow enough yet. I am gonna try the wacky presentation Ive been using the texas
Never had any luck with wacky rig , gonna try it
Black and white work good.
Great job on tutorial...professionally done
Just found you & I'm hooked.
Excellent video
I got mine in the mail today.

A regular old worm gets over looked a lot but it works the best because it's a easy meal for bass

Look for a straight eye if you don't want to snell. Straight eye octopus.

Happy to find this / Your channel
Glad you found it John
Sick boat
Thanks man!
Manny years ago mann made a floating worm i still have one !!!!
It is really a great lure
Mann's Jelly Worm -- still available, still great.
I actually stumbled across this because I was fishing a wacky rigged senko and it was spooking the fish off so I decided to try a trick worm and the only color I had was bubblegum
good information
Thanks for the tip 👍 good video 📹
Thanks for watching!
What color would you use for muddy water?
Il give it a shot up here on western p.a. il try anything that has a chance of upping my odds. You can never know too much information
What color do you use in the dirty water
Preaching to the choir !!! 😁
Do you ever throw it Texas rigged with the kink in it? Or do you find using wacky style gets bit more
Tyler
Floating worm, Zoom trick worm. How is it different than senko, yum, etc?
Is there a different size?
With a ring works same?
Great info friend 👍
Thanks for watching Two Passions Fishing
So many of my buddies swear by this but it's never worked for me... Maybe I'll give it another shot this season.
Just read your story on bassmaster.com - great article!! Thanks for the info
Is the pink color worm, the only color that you use.
I have fished the floating worm for years and I use it all year long until winter sets in…
is this mainly better for large bodies of water or does this work in little ponds as well
That is what I fish with 99% of the time all through the early summer. Watermelon red with dip and dye chartreuse tail. Works like crazy.
Do you add a weight to this or is this completely weightless
@@themaskedsenpai1003 I do not use a weight just worm and hook.
I love doing the floating worm I rig mine different but I love using the floating worm
It really is one of the best ways to catch fish in the spring
