That's crazy. When I was 13yrd old ( 62 now) I rigged a worm this way as directed by an article in Field &Stream Mag. I was at Lake Silverwood in early spring. Hooked my Biggest Bass at ,9lbs and that stood as my PB for better than 10 yrs. Black Creme paddle tail rigged exactly the way you showed, except my leader was longer. Anyway, I honestly haven't utilized this technique since. I was learning tex rig with great success and split shotting highly pressured Calif Bass.. Great video
What about northern strain smallmouth? This time of year?
Yep u definitely showed this before
What are your go to floating worm colors for largemouth bass
You showed how to rig the floating worm on another video a year or so ago … from that I have had some of the best day on the water in Mid May literally over 40 bass in a day … I will try this little modification … Looks awesome I also split the tail end.
Looks like it would get hung up.
Stacy King made a Bass pro shops how to vcr video in the early 90’s that had excellent tips on how to rig and fish the floating worm…I don’t remember if he talked about a straight shank hook but I’ve used them since that time always rigging the worm with a kink and taught that at the tank during my floating worm seminars at bass pro…if anyone listened they’d already had this info long ago, thx for sharing!
Oooh- I see that Bass Crack in the thumbnail! I got some of them and gave it to my buddy’s kid that fishes on high school team- limited out on Rayburn last weekend. He said they used the green, but I got him the green and blue
That rednwhite ball float is ~pretty~ oldscool. I remember thats being used since early 70s😂😂😂
Thanks for the tip, will give it a try this weekend.
I used to fish w a flat hand pour worm ,pegged w hvy mono.oshaunessy bend fine wire hook to 4 inch liter to a #7 swivel. The guy that shared this w me used 3 hooks exposed,and killed it all the time w this up north.
Ban that rigging method!😏
Does color matter in the fall for this technique
Randy I will try it on Chowan River tomorrow 👍I’ll let you know the results probably will post on my Instagram as well👍
Doug learn it from
sunny on lake murray
fact
he has won more boats than any one
said he never go pro
due to staying away from family was not in his cards
but sunny is the float worm guy
he would put a weight or a tooth pick
on the line above the barrel
said deeper weight
top top water tooth pick
Recommended colors?
That way if rigging the worm on the hook goes against every bit of advice I've ever heard about rigging soft plastics. Everyone says they have to be perfectly straight. That's why I watch this channel. And I don't fish for bass, i just enjoy hearing your techniques that I can borrow for the saltwater. U think I could catch salty fish with floating worms, I just need to try. I bet redfish and flounder will bite them.
Thanks for sharing…going to have to try. Colors? You were showing bright green and pink…
Thanks Randy, I'll try it immediately !!!
Must be getting too old to remember that you have talked about this before
You have talked about it before you also recommended I think a guy named Doug some old bass fishing show you used to watch a guy that had caught multiple 10 + pounders Doug Henning RIGHT
Also depends on my attitude of fish that day
Fish worm right to where it goes out of sight. It depends on water clarity
8 lb test are you kidding me
Hey Randy I have a pro tip for you use a dull hook. With that crooked embarrassing worm
No #1 hook to small men. Will do you good use different size hooks as the only wieght. Smallest 3/0
My grandpa has cought multiple 8 to10 pounders on his wall from a Cream floating worm (white) and always rigged straight as possible
I've seen where people kink up their floating worms in the bag, and get them to hold that bent up shape. But then you ruin your worms for other techniques… I like Randy's way better and I havent even tried it yet.
Should I use the same length leader via a swivel with the core tackle fluke setup? Or make it longer. Thanks again Randy.
Sorry Randy. Pretty much all of your tips are super unique. But this one has been around YT for a while. However you are the only one saying it's a fall lure. Love to see a head to head
I’m not going to lie, when you showed that finished product I bursted out into loud genuine laughter because I’ve always been told how important it is to rig your plastics real straight and that looks like something my 8 year old would do trying to copy me 😂😂😂 Nevertheless I wouldn’t be subscribed if I didn’t trust you so I’ll be trying it!!! 😂
Thanks for information
I'll throw a black floating worm one of three ways all times of year.
Hummmmm
Interesting idea! Do you think adding a little bitty split shot would help to get it deeper?
Also, regarding the worm chasing a bug; If correct, might be interesting to dress up the swivel with some fly tying thread/fluff.Just to sell it a bit more. 🙂
What size swivel do you recommend? (I'm really new at fishing….)
Thanks for the video!
Bert
Thank you Randy
Dude, that is freaking awesome! Gonna have to give that a shot.
I use a Berkeley floating trout worm on hook crooked like that for trout and steelhead👍
I'm sure we all benafeted some.
Pretty sure that’s Doug Hannon’s “swimming worm” rig from the 1960s/70s … although he usually fished it with a small bullet weight in front of the swivel but it is an awesome rig. Literally the first cast I ever made with that rig I caught bass. He wasn’t a monster but I knew I had something and since then I’ve never told anyone I use that technique and some truly big boys have resulted over the years
RANDY! I saw an old bassmaster video of you letting water in your boat to get under a low bridge, it was awesome, I would love to hear the story on that in a youtube video
Never tried the floating worm this way but I am going to this weekend. Fishing really tuff right now may be what you need to get the fish to react. Thanks Randy for all the great info you give out on your videos.
