When and Where to Swim a Worm for Bass
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 січ 2019
- Soft-plastic worms come in countless shapes, sizes and actions and when rigged on a standard Texas rig, some are more versatile than others.
A go-to presentation for Wired2fish's Walker Smith is a Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm worked with a slow swimming retrieve. The unique tail of this worm gives it a subtle kicking motion that provides a new look to pressured fish.
Walker begins his retrieve with a long cast allowing the bait to sink to the bottom. Once on the bottom, a slow reel lets the bait deflect off of cover such as stumps and deadfalls. This can make it difficult to detect bites at times, but Walker explains there is a very distinct sensation when a fish picks it up and you need to pay close attention to your line and the feel of the retrieve to know when to set the hook.
A disruption in the feel of retrieve such as a solid bump or a jump in the line will signal a bite. Double check this by giving the fish time to eat it while paying close attention to the sensation on a tight line. Deliver a long, sweeping hook set when you're sure the fish has gotten a chance to eat the bait and that will ensure the fish becomes hooked without bending the hook or ripping it from the fish's mouth.
The swimming retrieve can be used as a search bait and once you've found what fish are holding on, the bait converts instantly into a flipping and pitching presentation around specific pieces of isolated cover. Walker uses a medium to medium-heavy rod with a moderate action for bite detection and long-distance, sweeping hooksets. He pairs this with a high-speed reel to catch up to fish that may bite and swim towards the boat. Fluorocarbon is a must around wood cover and Walker goes with either 15- or 17-pound test.

Great instructional video Walker. Im excited to try this method next time i go out. Got to spend some more money on new tackle :) Thx for listing everything in the details part of your video.
Great video and tips, Walker. I am going to have to try this technique out when the ice goes away in the spring.
Thanks Robert. We're confident it'll perform well for ya when your bass are chewing horizontal presentations.
Speed worm are so nice i love using them, thanks for sharing this info
another great bass fishing video love the tips you give keep up the great work
Is that the 7 or 6 inch model
Remember watching Pro angler Larry Nixon talking about swimming a worm years ago. He called it "Speed Worming" he basically fished a worm, grub, or lizard like a spinnerbait in the grass and it was Deadly effective!
Them ultra vibs are awesome. I use both sizes the magnum and standard. Love the magnum to flip
Ip
Bitter`s vibe tail worms are my go to! great for eel grass
great video, i like the way that you explain everything
Thanks Michael. Wish we wouldn't caught more but glad the content was still well-received.
Great explanations of this technique of bass fishing, thanks 👍
Great video, keep them a coming
Simply Awesome!
Excelente señuelo y muy eficaz para la lobina !
In addition to its already impressive versatility, the Speed Worm can also be cut into two separate pieces. The cut-tail end makes a Perfect Grub, and the front end can be an anchor point for a Tail-Spinner...
Super vidéo !
Man this is one of my favorite techniques on Sugar Creek down in Indiana for smallie's and large mouth. A long Motor oil on a sunny day, the fish it will slay. I've even caught 25"+ Pike on them.
My favorite worm!
I've used these same worms along with Yum's Swim'n Dinger after watching Ish Monroe re-introduce this technique on MLF last season on the Oxbow lakes they were fishing. I modified it a little more by dying the tail and found success on my local lake by pitching and flipping it on step ledges and into heavy cover more than swimming it. I'm planning on trying it this season in some of the standing timber on other lakes around me. It kept me competitive in some of my tournaments as a first year angler last season. Wish I knew about this earlier! I will definitely try this on a Med./Heavy rod and a lighter wire hook this year too! Thanks!
Is the swimn dingers better than the standard senkos
@@frostizz2072 The swimming version has a small paddle tail on the back of the dinger. I do not know whether one is better than the other. They would be for different techniques. Of course, if a fish pulled the paddle tail off, you would still be in business.
@@Flynfish I think I can whip the swimming dinger out in the middle of the lake so the paddle can cover a lot of water
You can. Any swimbait helps cover water. I’d say you could pitch into cover too and have some success.
The Ultra Vibe Speed Worm has been a clutch bait for me since I first discovered it . It's one of those baits that'll get bit by any size fish from dinks to jaints
Pappa Squally that’s my go to swimming worm also
Good info for sure
Caught my 2020 PB on the Zoom Ultravibe Speed worm. Btw quit telling people about Junbug lol best color imo
Sorry Stuntman D29! Tough to keep such a good bait locked up.
Thank you very much!
Nice helpful video
Anywhere, anytime.
Beautiful
Great bait to throw during the spawn!
Nice 👍👍👍
I love swimming worms.
I used the word mushy to explain the bite to a younger gentleman the other day. He didn't understand, i told him he would. Feels just like dragging your lure across a bathtub of vanilla pudding.
Nice👍👍🙏 i'm from indonesia
I love swimming these in thick grass on a weedless Texas rig but I prefer the gamblers burner worms to the zoom ultravibe
Awesome vid thanks for the tips
Thanks James. Appreciate you watching.
@@Wired2Fish u didn't tell everyone about line twist n swivle s. !!!!!
Is that sum sort of bobber stopper above your weight? What brand, do the work good in hvy. Cover
I’d like your opinions...I like to throw the VMC weighted drop dead hooks in the 1/16 and 1/8 oz sizes could I fish a swim worm on that or is it better with a pegged sinker?
Q marca es esa caña?. Me gusta ese amarillo
Gracias
Thanks for the insight that was really interesting. I noticed you're using a left handed setup with the reel handle on the right which is for people who have a dominant left arm, yet you cast with your right arm. How come? Did you learn to fish on a lefty setup or something 😊
River City Fishing, It's very common to see this with casting gear. It's interesting to note that many people who cast and reel right handed with casting gear, cast right handed and reel left handed when switching to spinning gear. For most, even if you're right-hand dominant it's awkward to reel left and set the hook right with casting gear. Let alone cast. Although it is becoming more popular in recent times. Especially when flipping and pitching. Since fish often hit flippin baits on the fall, it pays to have a hand ready to reel after a flip with the right hand on the rod and the line coming from your left hand.
I see what you're saying though. Why switch hands? That being said, If you look around I'm sure you will notice the majority of people will cast and reel with their right hand with casting gear.
Good observation! Thanks for the comment.
*Some people cast and reel right handed but have left-handed reels they switch to when flipping. Some people will learn to flip with their non-dominant hand on the rod as well.
@@Wired2Fish Thanks for having taken the time to explain your preference. Yes, I have noticed that a lot of people both cast and reel with their righ hand which involves a hand switch. It's been intriguing me for a while now hence my question. I only switched over to BC gear last year to make casting less strenuous in the long run. And it was an obvious choice for me to keep my traditional spinning habits and have the reel handle on the left, as i'm right handed and all my rod work is done with my right hand and my weaker arm is only concerned with cranking the reel handle. It would be so alien for me to have to use my left arm to do any rod work whatsoever.
My hypothesis is that maybe the first fishing reels in the US (and Australia mind you) were made for left handers bearing handles on their right side, and that's what people learned to fish on. Basically, we right handers have had to adjust to gear made for lefties, and it even became a standard. Cruel world! 😊
That being said your videos are truly instructional and ima hittin' that sub button buddy!
Welcome aboard! Appreciate you tunning in and sharing your hypothesis. You might be on to something-
Thanks again!
Do you Peg the weight ? Are there times when you should Peg it and times when you should not ? Thanks.
Pline tactical line ..check that stuff out
Wakeboarding fish!
That fish had no chance
Bass love these worms
so how and were do i catch a big fish?
This work for wipers?
I love how people think that this is a new technique lol.
Lol
Right. It's been around forever
Is that the 7 or 6 inch model
This was the 6-inch model.
What rod was that?
Skeet Reese light swimbait
Just bought a pack
That's pretty brave to not be using braid with all those submerged stumps
I swim a worm more than I work it off the bottom
Cool, kinda treating it like a swim jig! Swimming baits must be a deadly tactic in the Lone Star State! We recently published this Swim Jig video in Texas with Jeff Sprague: ua-cam.com/video/ekgbbPIqYmQ/v-deo.html
@@Wired2Fish I've been told I don't know how many times I would catch more fish if I would use it the traditional technique but I've done it since I was a kid and it's always been successful for me I just have confidence in using that way so I always go to that technique. I use different size weights to get to different depths but I'm always using my real instead of my rod .
Where to swim a worm? Literally anywhere is the answer
