How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **INSANE UNDERWATER FOOTAGE**

Published 2022-01-12
We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. From above, a ned rig doesn't look like much but when it hits the bottom it comes to life, and its obvious bass can't resist them! Did you see any stand out baits in today's video? Perhaps it was the way that Smallie Smasher shakes at even the lightest touch on a dropshot, or the way the shaky head sways on its way to the bottom.
Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors and rigging components for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

When I was 8-9 years old my dad taught me how to fish a plastic worm, he made me count 12 seconds between twitches, and those twitches were 2-3 very light taps....amazing how many bass I caught using that technique throughout my life, and crazy how few were caught going any faster.
-
Probably the best video I’ve ever seen on soft plastics, how to rig them, how to fish them, and why.
-
The confidence you instill in amateur fishermen is amazing. Great job, great video.
-
Been here for years…. I’ll say this again THE best bass fishing channel ever created. You guys have put out so much content it’s mind blowing.
-
Great video. All successful worm anglers have one thing in common....patience.
-
I have watched a METRIC TON of y’all’s videos! I love all the knowledge y’all have shared on fishing and genuinely wanting to help others become better at fishing, and it is much appreciated! I don’t know what reason it took me so long, but as of tonight I am officially subscribed. Keep up the good work Matt and Tim!
-

Just started trying the drop shot in December because I was too impatient years before..second cast 4lb 10 oz LM..needless to say stays on the spinning rod now.

Bro I promise you, I’ve been watching every soft plastics for beginners video on YouTube possible, but this is THE best one I’ve seen so far. Great great vid

Great video for us new to bass fishing. Nicely done. Very helpful. Thank you.

I just learned so much! I typically have only ever used a mouse or spinner bait for large mouth, but now you've got me thinking differently. Thank you so much.

Plastic worms are my hands down favorite way to fish for bass!! They flat out produce from January thru December!! I’ll always keep ‘em close by!
