The biggest mistake most anglers make when fishing worms is choosing the wrong style for the conditions. In this bass fishing video, I’ll show you exactly when to fish a ribbon tail worm versus a straight tail worm so you can catch more bass all summer long. We’ll break down how water clarity, fishing pressure, cover, wind, and light conditions determine which worm will consistently outfish the other. Plus, I’ll show you the exact rods, reels, line, hooks, and rigs I use, and one lucky subscriber will win this month’s BassGeek Box loaded with proven summer bass fishing baits.

About this video:
Summer bass fishing is one of the best times of year to catch big bass on soft plastic worms, but understanding when to throw the right worm can make all the difference. In this video we compare ribbon tail worms and straight tail worms for bass fishing, covering Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, offshore fishing, ledge fishing, brush piles, wood cover, clear water, stained water, pressured bass, and summertime bass fishing patterns. Whether you fish from a bass boat, kayak, bank, or pond, learning how to choose the right soft plastic worm for changing conditions will help you catch more largemouth and smallmouth bass throughout the summer.
