A good trick is to throw a big worm weightless too. It casts and skips quite well. Much like a senko. I had some 5 lbers hit it right on top of the water
The Ole Monster you held up is my favorite here in Northeast Florida. The color. Junebug. Love fishing it weightless. Caught my PB on it. Thanks for the tips.
The ribbon or curly tail worms are what I used all the time growing up. I used a 1/16oz weight rigged Texas worm (purple/grape with a white tail) and I would swim it all the time and it always worked!! Thanks for the great tips!!
I don’t Bass fish but follow and respect You Randy. Your tips are transferable to fisherman of all species. I follow you and watch about all your vids. 👍 to you my Man.
@@mattnash5159 I love panfishing. Fish to eat. Bass are another hobby that would be even more expensive getting the right reels and poles and tons of tackle. Me and my 12’ aluminum boat are enough for me. I catch Bass using wax worms while fishing for Gills. Thanks for responding.
@@poimendave9536 yes bass fishing is expensive, I find myself spending at least $50 a week at tackle Warehouse. There's just so many baits out there to try plus as you mentioned the rods and reels it all adds up to thousands of dollars pretty quick..
Good tips. I can use these. I have had good luck on spots swimming a Zoom "meathead" on a 1/8th oz. darter head over and through boulder fields below rocky bluffs.
Great video, thanks Randy. Ive been throwing a Zoom Ol Monster for about 12 years now. Its caught me alot of bass from 1lb all the way up to my personal best, 6lbs 6ozs. I have a box full of them in Green Pumpkin, Plum, Sprayed Grass and Junebug. I never go out without them! I also have a box full of the Magnum Ol Monster in Green Pumpkin and Plum.
If the bite is tough and you have good wave action, try dead sticking a ribbon tail. This has worked for me several times on sandy or gravel banks. The ribbon tail works all by its self - 5ft or so off the bank. Try it.
Great video Randy! All great great bait's and advice and love those worm's but the Berkley 7in power worm color black has always been a great bait as well when it gets tough
Randy: You highlighted two of my favorites in this vid: Zoom Ol’ Monster and the Ultravibe Speed Worm. I live in the Deep South and these two worms produce. I never took the Speed Worm seriously until I caught 15 Largemouth and 3 spots one day last summer in a tributary creek off of the Apalachicola River. I fish them on a Gamikatsu Skip-Gap Shakey Head. I haven’t lost a fish on that head yet. Thanks for the intel.
@@mattnash5159 Because the Skip Gap head buries the hook point back into the worm to make it snagless. Why Texas Rig? I wanted a presentation that kept weight and worm together because of the myriad of branches and twigs that we were fishing through. I don’t like pegging.
@@johngalt3568 well I might have to try it one of these days. I'm sure the presentation of a speedworm on a shaky head might look a little different. Just hard to say which one might work better because I've been Texas rigging them unpegged and Been able to catch a few. They seem to commit fairly easy to the speedworm.
@@johngalt3568 btw I just read your review on the tackle warehouse page for that product. Man your really making me wanna try some now. Too bad there sold out in 1/8th and 3/16th😌
I love the culprit 10in red shad ribbon tail night fishing along grass edges where the bigguns move in and out pockets along that line fishing it parallel with the grass line it stays in the strike zone longer. Right gotta let the fish let ya know what type of retrieve they want and have got em by just turning the reel handle very slow dragging it on the bottom where hopping it would not get a bite.
Good advice. I was wondering about when to use curly tail worms recently. Just got back from fishing at Table Rock Lake. We had good fishing with the Ned and chicken rigs.
When it’s really hard to get a bite, I downsize to a Bass Pro 3” Sticko on a #2 worm hook and a 1/16 oz bullet weight. This can turn a slow day in the summer to an OK fishing day.
Please tell us what months or time of year you are talking about when you discuss types of plastics to use, particularly worms of different types. I love fishing worms! I don't hear you mentioning that during every video but I do very much enjoy your instructional tutorials. Thank you for your efforts to help us be better anglers!
In my experience, June through early September ribbontail worms shine! He does mention it here. I throw them all year except in the winter when I throw more stock worms
Come on people only 12 comments,1400 views,yall can do better,you owe it to Randy for making these videos,anyway had to rant,great video Randy love the curly tails,Zoom rocks,haven't tried the craw worm thought
I'm just a lowly pond angler and I've been using a zoom U-vibe and my junebug was killing it a month ago but lately I've been getting MOSTLY short strikes (I think that's what it's called). I'm not using magnums either. Any tips? *The larger fish in my pond are 2-3lb LM.*
Downsize. I also seen a video of a guy that threads his worm up the line so the hook is lower on the bait. I tried it, the action is still good and you get a better chance of hooking up
I really enjoy this information . He puts a lot of good stuff out but his repetitive "guy"s almost drives one crazy.. I am a women and I like to fish and I don't like being called a guy, nor being referenced as one..

The Ol Monster and Culprit curly tail worms are my favorites in the summer. Some of my all time favs period.
Same here.
Which of the two is more buoyant? I’d like to use either on a bucktail for saltwater fishing.
I have caught some serious bass on a Culprit

Always a pleasure to hear how much you can tell about a type of lure..very cool..

Why don't you fish for Bass?

Spot on again Randy.
Thanks Randy, back to the night fishing topic those worms with lots of vibration in the tail fished speed worm style gets some bites.
Love worm fishing ! Thanks
Good tips. I can use these. I have had good luck on spots swimming a Zoom "meathead" on a 1/8th oz. darter head over and through boulder fields below rocky bluffs.
Good stuff. I just bought some of those & now I'm armed to catch more. Thanks.
I've always had a hard time choosing which worm. My absolute favorite is a culprit red shad.
Same here

Ordered me a pair of Solar Bat RB2’s yesterday. Can’t wait to try them.
I’ve never tried the Z-Craw worm before, I will have to get some this summer. Thank you for all of the information you share.

Can't beat a 7 inch Berkeley curly tail from June thru September when you need bites

Speedworms on a shaky head really? Why not just a Texas rig?

Very helpful video
Thanks Randy how to fish a ribbon tail worm!!!awesome !!
Love worm fishing!!!
Good advice. I was wondering about when to use curly tail worms recently. Just got back from fishing at Table Rock Lake. We had good fishing with the Ned and chicken rigs.
Hey randy have you thought of doing a contest of some sort to win a fishing trip with you
Good stuff
When it’s really hard to get a bite, I downsize to a Bass Pro 3” Sticko on a #2 worm hook and a 1/16 oz bullet weight. This can turn a slow day in the summer to an OK fishing day.

@evanhandelong7685 awesome idea! Thank you. Think this is still a good tactic this time of year? (Florida)
@@BenFranklin813 oh yeah. Im up north, so i cant tell you from experience, but this is a good bait all summer long
Grape Hummer in the Summer! Go Mobile BassMasters
i wish you could flip a curlytail without it wrapping around everything, definitely one of my favorite worms
Best time to use curly tail worms? Any time

No disrespect meant… just a term for “group”
Your name is Thomas Wilson, how are you not a guy? And if you are a female why take it so personal? Sensitive much holy smokes.
Who Cares?
