You can fish with worms for a variety of fish, from trout to bass to salmon. Wacky worms are used to fish for big bass. If you are new to fishing with like this, here are answers to frequently asked questions about fishing with these kinds of baits.
What is a "wacky worm?"
Well, it is a style of fishing, rather than a product you buy. If you are going to set bait like this, you use a long thin one (often plastic, such as Zoom Trick Worms and centipedes). Then you set the long bait in the middle, so that it forms a U shape. Wacky style fishing can be used in bait casting gear as well as spinning gear. Often large bass that hang out in the bottom of the water will suck in a whole thing fished wacky style.
What is the advantage of using this?
If fishing conditions are tough, and the fish are hiding under cover, this technique can sometimes bring out large bass. Often you let it float (un-weighted), or only slightly weighted so that the thing slowly sinks through the water, so that it looks like it is wounded. They are also effective slowly drawn through underwater grasses or other vegetation, as it draws out post-spawn fish and large open mouth bass from hiding places.
Should the wacky worm sink quickly?
No, with this particular type of bait you want it to slowly slide by, so that it looks as natural as if it fell off a branch and is slowly sinking to the bottom.
Mine often tear when I set them wacky style. Is there help for this?
This is a common problem, and most only last through two fish when they're set this way. In answer to your question, yes, you can prevent this tearing. You can buy tools of various types that will protect your imitation baits from tearing. These types of tools allow you to set the worm without sticking the hook through the plastic bait. A good trident tool can make your bait last through 20 or more catches.
How does a wacky worm rigging work?
There are several on the market, but the best ones utilize a vertical hook presentation. A small piece of metal pierces through the bait. The hook is set in the tip of the metal piece that pierces through it. This way, pressure and nibbling will not result in torn or damaged bait.
