summer, but since they are still new to me, I haven’t had the chance to fish them in cold water, but I’m excited to see how they do,” he said. “I’ve had my best success fishing in similar to a Neko rig with a smaller worm or how you would fish a dropshot, but with less shaking and more pulling the rod to move the bait. You can pull it, let it fall on a slack line, and let the worm do its thing.”
Since fishing a worm this size is pretty slow, Jones says it’s ideal when you know fish are out and can’t get them to bite. That could be when you see fish with your electronics and can’t trick them, or you catch fish, and the bite stops.
“It’s a great tool as a ‘clean up’ bait when you’re on fish and catching them with faster-moving baits and they stop biting,” he said. “It’s perfect for when you know the fish are still there. It’s also been an excellent bait for me with Forward Facing Sonar especially when fishing around brush and other isolated targets. The size and action of these worms separate them; they generate much interest because they look so different.”
Super-sized worms may be the next trend in bass fishing from Japan, and they are already catching fish in American waters. This could be the start of something new as anglers either downsize to finesse lures or go to the other end of the spectrum and throw lengthy worms to show the bass something different. •
