Fishing Plastic: Fishing Plastic Worms - With Out Weight
Fishing plastic worms are the top lure among bass fishermen. They may not always catch the biggest bass and more tournament fishermen may be throwing jigs, but if you poll the weekend bass angler, you are going to find bags and bags of fishing plastic worms in their tackle box. They definitely work for placing good amounts of fish in the boat as well as some big bass.
In this article, let's talk about fishing plastic worms weightless. It seems like many contrasting methods show up on television because of how the latest bass tournament was won. There are so many techniques that get anglers all excited that most fishermen forget about some of the most efficient ways to catch bass on a smaller lake. Most weekend anglers are going to fishing smaller lakes in smaller boats, unlike that run and gun style that you see from the tournament anglers.
On small lakes, there are usually plenty of good shorelines to fish that have weeds in the 4 to 12 foot range. These places are ideal for using weightless fishing plastic worm. This means to fish with a fishing plastic worm and a hook with no additional weight added to the line. I prefer to use a 7 to 11 inch worm with 12 pound test. If you are fishing heavier weeds, you can get away with 17 to 20 pound test line, but you won't be able to cast as far. With 12 pound test and a medium-heavy action rod, you are ready to go. When you decide to use a weightless worm, you have to understand that it will take a few seconds for the lure to sink to the 3 to 4 foot depth, which is where you want to be on most shallower weedlines. You will also have to let the fishing plastic worm fall for a couple of seconds after you twitch it. This technique will take much more time to fish correctly, which is one of the big negatives with fishing this way. The benefit of fishing with a weightless worm is that it appears much more natural and you can catch some very nice bass this way.
To maximize your time, work the weed lines or any other cover that you can find, but once your lure gets 4 or 5 feet away from the cover, wind your fishing plastic worm back in and cast it out as close to the cover as possible. By keeping the fishing plastic worm in the strike zone longer, you will maximize your time on the water. This presentation is very slow, so don't waste your time fishing open water. Hit the weed edges, boat docks, trees and you will do well.
