Fishing a Big 10-Inch Worm for Summer Bass

Terry Brown talks about fishing a big worm in deep water for bass. The Texas-rigged worm is maybe the most popular bass fishing lure of all time because it works shallow and deep equally well for bass fishing.

Tried it a few weeks ago and I have to say it's the only tackle change I've ever made that rendered instant results. I've been killing them on the 10 incher. Thanks for the video I'm loving the results!

[@waynegrauel1031]

Finally.. Someone who actually uses a good wireless mic and has good audio! Good video!

[@jodyhinson7856]

Great video. No attitude,no showmanship. Just a good dude with good info.

[@Wired2Fish]

+Jody Hinson We appreciate this, and a fine way to sum up Wired2Fish President Terry Brown. Thanks for the watch Jody, and good fishing to you.

[@skelly8874]

I use these up here in PA. These are the bees knees in the dog days of summer. I use a 1/8 slip sinker and the tail has unbelievable action! The bucket mouths up here love these. Shallow or deep. My favorite soft plastic for sure. Cherry seed is the hot color where I fish.

[@AlexanderLow292]

one of my favorite fishing videos by wired2fish

[@noahoutdoors9822]

“Good rapala scissors “ -they didn’t cut the line

[@johnfor8471]

Noah Outdoors I was thinking the same thing I had a pair and they were trash

[@bartnukem]

Terry Brown does a great job with these videos.

[@TerryB19561]

I know Bill Brasky!

[@mrgreenjeans]

Love fishing with a 10 inch worm. My go to for bass fishing.

[@butcherhead64]

Just started using the Ol'Monster this year and love them.Plum has been a great color.Best so far is a 4lb 10oz and that was after a big storm.

[@KYoutdoors21]

Love that color also, won my first high school tournament this past weekend on that worm.

[@fuerstmetternich5935]

Larry Burchett Yes, after a hurricane, the fishing can be great....

[@100bandadam2]

Thanks for the tips! Caught a lot of big fish using 10 inch worms natural and blueberry colors hope too see more vids

[@sunshinegirl7998]

Thank-you for your tips. Here is a funny story.... my boy friend has been fishing for years and I am pretty much a beginner. I went out with him fishing two weekends in a row. I caught 14 fish total. 13in bass being the biggest I brought in. I caught it in shallow water. Lucky, I guess. He has caught nothing in two weekends. I am having so much fun I can’t wait to get back on the water. I will use your deep water tips. Thanks again. Happy fishing!

[@zerahyahudah5504]

Thanks finally a fisherman talking about a big 10'' worm which I swear by that purple in the same size and have done very well with it especially in overcast drizzling weather

[@fuerstmetternich5935]

My 'go to' bait for good size bass, I caught a few 'bigguns' w. large swimming tail worms. Also I agree with the thing about removing unserviceable pieces of the worm and still having a functional bait....I do that myself. Great vid, two thumbs up, lol......

[@madisoncarver4419]

I'm a believer in big bait big fish

[@CharlesJohnson1612]

Just look at Big Swimbaits.Slide swimme s

[@levihobbs3606]

Good rapala scissors * cant cut line* 😂 love the vid though good advice

[@ScaleLilyblog]

Don't see much deep water here but 10 inch still works great. Someone mentioned clear water and we usually use a fluorocarbon leader in those instances, but not always necessary.

[@TheHousedigs]

Awesome tip 👏

[@thegreatga]

I've been listening to fish for years, and all I hear is lots of laughing....

[@Wired2Fish]

Haha. Us too!

[@cjedwards1934]

Me to all I get is branches when I cast

[@dodobirdiesSeveringVoid]

Are you sure it's not the ducks?

[@SouthFlaDiver]

dodobirdies the fish are saying to the ducks "look at these dumb ass humans" thats why the ducks laugh

[@Unit_With_Legs]

Until the fish eat the ducks... Then we laugh!

[@timothymason1203]

Thanks Mr. Brown for your tip! Have you ever fished Kentucky Lake? May your Day be BLESSED!

[@Wired2Fish]

+Timothy Mason My pleasure, and yes, I've spent a lot of time on Kentucky over the years. Actually heading there next week for a 3 day video shoot. Some great content to come. We appreciate you and good luck fishing.

[@davidmoeller3403]

Berkley 12 inch power worm in plum color. Fish it deep or as a top water. Big fish!

[@timothymason1203]

Thank you for your reply back, and good luck on your video on Kentucky lake. I will be looking forward to seeing it. GOD BLESS!

[@claythomas9467]

Fitting that the grandpa from Rugrats is now doing how-to fishing videos.

[@dennisstutzenburg2616]

I have used 10" to 12" worms for a long time now! My only opinion of this video was he said he was going to use a VMC straight shank Flipping hook! The one he shown after tying it was a VMC X-Wide Gap hook. The other thing is when tying the hook, never stated the size of hook, like a 4/0-5/0-6/0 size. I like using a 5/0 hook and 1/8oz - 1/4oz weights.

[@mannsbait9124]

Good tips, Terry. Thanks.

[@maryhoefler1945]

I love worms I usually use a 7.5 culprit red shad now I might fish a 10 inch

[@TheAvonaca]

Try using braid with a fluoro leader for reduced stretch for those long cast deep water hook sets

[@euci3207]

just used this product today, used a pumpkin color, ,,the large mouth bass just devoured it it was no longer on the ewg hook, on the 2nd tug I set the hook it was deep in its mouth,,, gonna order some more, ,, this bass was approx 2 pounds if not 3

[@dakotacollett270]

Green pumpkin you forgot one of the best go to colors ever but by far my favorite way to fish

[@Qussay_AlIraqi]

such a great video guys

[@Wired2Fish]

Patrick Jane Thank you!

[@mathteacher2651]

Great video - thank you.

[@coreystryker8572]

I have even thrown up to a 16in worm around flooded timber and stumps. Its like throwing a rope but we have caught really nice bass of of them. My dad is a die hard for Culprit Motor oil 12in worm he will die by it. Seen him have a one that had to be 9lbs. The fish came up and we seen he had it hair lipped and the bass just shook his head and swam off.

[@silva0186]

+Corey Stryker Should have had a net under the bass by the time it came to the top like a good little co-angler.

[@EdDro510]

How would this work on the CA DELTA?? Around this time, late summer.. Lots of shad in the water right now.. Or should I stick with the 6 or 7" senko? I probably should try both to see what they want.

[@jaylafond9795]

I love using big worms, Early dawn ( carolina rig or free line )

[@aureste3]

thanks for the tips

[@ReplayMediaVideo]

10" and 12" berkley power worms are my go to for deep summer bass!!

[@isaack4046]

Replay Media Sports no

[@Fueledbyfishing13]

Good rapala scissors here... *doesn't cut the line* *cuts to after he cuts it* lmao nice

[@fishinclip3061]

Fun to watch.

[@oacgamerman7633]

Thx!

[@ralphp2688]

Great video! Thanks for the info!

[@stangs4life1987]

I use 12 inch jelly worms in the summer in deep water 10-20ft eat her off of points or big structures. That s how you land the monsters!

[@nickpalmer5826]

Same, ain't nothing better than a 12 inch jelly worm in some deep water

[@johnmastrangelo9450]

good video! I nail big bass all the time using a 10 inch

[@metaloutlander]

The berkley 12" power worm works great too... Only big bass on those.

[@Wired2Fish]

+metaloutlander One of our favorites too!

[@jacob11b]

+metaloutlander First time using that last night.. caught a 1.5 pounder; so not only big bass.. lol

[@brandonthomas2053]

Hey Terry, Great video. I am curious why you like the strait shank hooks over the others.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

They go through brushpiles and cover easier.

[@Andysfishing]

Has anyone heard if 10" worms work in Australia? I think they must, but I've never heard of it.

[@meinhoffendant]

hey andy! if you have any american friends (im sure you do by this point; i watch your channel) get them to pop into a bass pro shop for you and get a bunch of berkley power worms and send them on. I did a while back (12" models; they're massive) as I figured they might be something large barra havent seen yet; am yet to try them out

[@CoachWoodwardoutdoors]

I like the old red shad color! They still make that color?

[@joshuamacias3957]

wow yall had cedar tree's in the lake those bass are lucky they can smell that sweet cedar smell lol

[@ballistic5518]

im going fishing on sunday

[@TheReptiGaming]

ok

[@davidmann9467]

Adam Mzoughi how was fishing?

[@RJB1017]

Look at his gps at 7:26 I'd say he's been on that lake a time or two!!

[@twinbee13monsterhunter]

Nice bass

[@rippinlipsinc.2200]

V&M lizzie is hard to beat!

[@aceontheline8718]

What size hook is recommended? Thanks!!

[@loriedwards9083]

I use that I caught a large mouth bass try white bread I caught a catfish in the shade

[@Studio2770]

I just hope I can get the same results fishing from the bank.

[@gord1527]

he loves his big worm

[@gregpulse5847]

Does he no he used the wrong hoo or was saying not use a straight shank hook

[@TerryB19561]

Greg Pulse I always use a 5/0 or 6/0 Straight shank for most big worm applications. Will use an offset EWG offset hook but it has a tendancy to twist your line due to the Ol' Monster being a ribbon tail. Hope this helps.

[@kazerio1564]

I worked a 10 inch for three hours then switched to a 6 got a bite right as it hit the water

[@josephruggiero9671]

i caught my biggest bass which was 8.4 on shore with a yum 9" ribben tail black with red glitter

[@leepittsoutdoors5667]

Good info Terry. That worm is deadly.

[@williecoprico6799]

Folks, pardon me for my ignorance. If a fish comes for the worm from its behind it would be a long way (10" i.e.) from the hook. Will that lessen the chance for hooking the fish?

[@MulberryStJimmieFaGettaboutit]

And uhh ... uhhmp! Dats what happens right there 😆👌🏾🔥

[@ActNaturally]

Great tips and video!! LIKE +1

[@txrcnoob]

Ive been fishing a high pressure lake from the bank should I go to the worm. I have yet to get a bass out of this lake but they are in there tpwd put some share lunker fry in a few years ago. Ive tried lipless cranks square bills senkos and weightless flukes.

[@Wired2Fish]

A worm can be good if the fish are real lethargic which they can be in a pond in the summer. The oxygen content can be low. A topwater frog can be good around cover to draw fish out as well. But a worm worked with a slow crawl or a hop and drop can be effective.

[@jayperez5425]

Wired2Fish oh yes me and my uncle do that alot its good ..

[@cocorkiller2322]

Legallyconcealedtx use white grub jigs or white sluggos

[@andrewleif]

Anyone else singing, "I like big baits and I can not lie..."?

[@mikewilliams2687]

no

[@andrewleif]

+james williams Well since I made this comment almost 2 years ago I'm glad you're not still singing it.

[@mikewilliams2687]

lol... I don't fish freshwater much these days. Dunno why I even commented, but meant no harm. HAGD

[@andrewleif]

I don't know either lol It's up to +4 though so at least one other person started singing it hahaha. And I believe Walker referenced it in one of his articles.

[@frankyalvarez7160]

Andrew Stephenson still not btw.

[@georgefrancis8789]

The worm is 10 inch, then I have to catch the fish from first bait or I have to wait for second bait?

[@dontesat4864]

Nice

[@LouieM24]

A big worm gets bit more then a 4 1/2 inch worm this time of year for me.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Good video!

[@hunterfisher35]

nice !!

[@nickharwell9909]

question? is that bondo on the stern of your boat behind the depth finder?

[@Wired2Fish]

***** LOL. No. There is no bondo on that 3 month old Ranger Boat.

[@jbkirsch6973]

Does this method work for shire anglers?

[@jonathanbae3871]

Are you smeagol??

[@anonymous_friend]

what line is best for this?

[@fatalx916]

So in deep water, you don't want to peg it?

[@jasonshort2425]

what size hook is he using

[@oacgamerman7633]

303 what type are u using

[@shawnbeck2303]

Is there anyone out there that ever Wacky rigged a 10 inch worm. I have Zoom Green Pumpkin worm's that aren't ribbon tailed. I would like to use CHARTREUSE Spike It on both ends of the worm and Wacky rig it. Not sure how it will work. Have the O ring's to give it a try. Would love to hear from any fisherman that is a big Wacky rig guy. Shawn.

[@kevinmacdonald8879]

What size hook?

[@carsonking7356]

What lake was that and what state?? Would it work in lakes like Sam Rayburn??

[@Wired2Fish]

+Carson King Yes it works great in Sam Rayburn. This was on Kentucky Lake.

[@carsonking7356]

Wired2Fish Great going to Decker lake this weekend might try this method out!!

[@silva0186]

+Carson King Why do people ask if a certain method would work in a certain lake. They all work in all lakes.

[@h3adhunt3r69]

that bass was at least 2.5

[@natehershberger2227]

Heck no, 2 at the absolute most.

[@abbyjewell5421]

ok thanks

[@jmar2229]

What's a Ot hook?

[@CarsonTalley]

[@azbasshead]

LMAO!!!! This means 'laughing my bass off'!

[@nemosedits1039]

how did i get here, i was watching hockey videos. Then i come back and im watching a guy messing with a rubber worm

[@Wired2Fish]

[@ballistic5518]

this is big majar help

[@clinte9897]

I like soaking my worm in the sweet spot 👍

[@bleh7552]

i love the corny one liners these guys have after a good hit, " thats what happens right there with a ten inch worm." lolol

[@FishNChipsNGuacamole]

what size hook are you using?

[@Wired2Fish]

reaper13av Usually a 4/0 to 6/0 size hook for 10-inch worms and bigger.

[@GTRMPHFH]

How deep is the water your fishing in?

[@Wired2Fish]

GTR280MPH FH2 15 to 25 feet deep.

[@steve4321able]

What size hook is that straight shank?

[@Wired2Fish]

+steve4321able Hi Steve, it's a 4/0 VMC Flippin Hook: goo.gl/H6wMek If Terry is chasing big bass, or fishing heavy cover, he'll step up to the 4/0 or 5/0 VMC Heavy Duty Flippin Hook: goo.gl/lWEGtV

[@hunterlacy2320]

any good colors for lake erie?

[@silva0186]

+Hunter Lacy Your color should depend on the color of the water and the conditions outside, like overcast or sunny, etc. Yes you want to match the color of the worm with the color of the natural food source as much as possible, like red for crawfish, etc. but for the most part, let the water conditions determine you color. If it's stained, use black or something darker. If it's clear, use something like green pumpkin.

[@Reljic414]

what rod and line u use?

[@Wired2Fish]

Hi, here's the info: Lew's Speed Spool LFS Series: www.lews.com/casting-speedspool.php?from=w2fish Fenwick Elite Tech Bass Casting Rods: www.tacklewarehouse.com/Fenwick_Elite_Tech_Bass_Casting_Rods/descpage-IFHD.html?from=w2fish

[@Macdaddy22713]

Mono or Flouro

[@beckygarding3572]

That's what she said

[@ryanswetz6419]

what about hook size. how big for the 10 inch + sizes

[@Wired2Fish]

+R12 You can get by with a 4/0, but will usually get more hookups using a 5/0 offset round bend hook or flipping hook.

[@clarkehamilton9424]

+Gooseboy 783 yeah I use a 5/0 worm offset workhook for a better chance of getting the fish

[@jeremiahgiles3593]

is this strictly a deep water technique?

[@Wired2Fish]

Absolutely not. We catch fish pitching big worms around shallow cover, fishing them around docks. Casting to the bank. You will be surprised how well a big worm works anywhere in warmer water. It does seem like warmer water makes it a lot more effective.
