How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms - Amazing Underwater Footage!!

[@djohnson3617]

Excellent breakdown 👍.....caught 3 fish from the couch just watching!

Hey guys i am 68 years young and have been fishing for 60 of those years. Your instructional videos on how to rig this and that and so much more info has made me a better bass fisherman over the last few years.My catch ratio has gone up every year since i started trying your tricks of the trade so to speak.I always fished my worms two ways,texas style or wacky style and most always caught fish. But on those days when it was hard to find a bite i started trying some of the new styles such as shaky heads ans drop shot ect,i started catching fish instead of giving up and going home.I thank you guys for that! keep up the good work and info it helped this older fisherman.

Don’t think I ever took the time to thank you guys for teaching me how to fish. Every single video you put out is just a wealth of info. Thank you!👍

[@sylors6762]

agreed

[@inigomontoya6968]

I so appreciate you guys. I try to be a student of the sport. I go to workshops, take notes and watch a ton of videos to prepare for tournament seasons. Your channel has been a staple of my learning progression over the years and will continue to be as long as you guys keep generating them. I find I revisit them many times as a refresher on specific techniques I'm either learning or gleaning information on existing techniques that I might have missed the first time around. I also appreciate the lists you include in the description, of not only the bates, but the breakdown of the gear you prefer to use. I hope TW gives you guys a kickback as I know I've spent thousands there based on your recommendations. As always a fantastic informative video. Thank you guys so much!

[@Brett69]

It's 2021, can confirm these still work. Thank you!

[@tangocharlie3545]

I always love the underwater footage. U can learn so much from just a few seconds. Thanks for showing us.

You guys are the only people who can make a how to fish a worm video and still put some information in it that hasn't been repeated 1 million times !

[@thehauntedfisherman1792]

Love this channel! Ha, its funny, as a kid i was always fishing rubber/plastic worms with a bullet weight with great success! I'm 51yrs old and now I find out that it called a Texas rig. I can remember when Bass Pro Shops had "that" catalogue.. eww wee, that was a big day when it arrived! Thank you for all that you do and for helping me get back into serious fishing. The underwater footage is amazing.. I always wondered what they were doin' down there!

[@firemandan5959]

Over 50 years of worm fishing 15 years as a guide on Table Rock lake and the speed worm escaped me. I just saw another video on speed worms. So I guess as they say never to old to learn. I enjoy your videos. By the way Gene Larew lived at Table Rock Lake and was a true innovator in plastic worms we fished them all the time. I think his first worms may have been speed worms (little hooked tails) and did not pick up on the swim bait action.

[@TFreshour08]

Just started fishing again for the first time in maybe 10 years honestly more like 15. I can't thank you enough for this super simple and to the point video. I don't mind asking for help here and there, but it has been frustrating having to feel like a total greenie. Thank you for this! So much information in one place and very well said.

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

that's awesome...if ya got any questions let me know!

[@beauiglinsky5522]

I subscribed because you kept it simple and used terminology for the amateur fisherman without making me feel stupid! Thank you! Plastics is something I have yet to master and I’m excited to get started. I’m a spinner bait, rattle trap or spider rigging fisherman.

[@michaelstooker670]

GREAT !! Commentary!! I loved it... Simple details make the fishing SO !! easy.!! We fish the northern upper Lakes of Wisconsin in the fall Some are super clear, lakes.. even ones in a little more Murkey . We used custom made worms .JET black / no fleck. super salt /anise infused and then stored and rolled in the Anise oil 100% slow fall technique . Or a drag along. unbelievable results for small mouth. large mouth . 20 Years.We have been using Senkos , My buddy jimmy made them ,WHEN NOBODY EVEN NEW WHAT THEY WERE..Up north anyway! .I'm Bragging here ,there were 4 years in a row when the average smallmouth was 5 lb's and the catch of the day was over 6-1/2 LB OMG, Love the memories .The locals always asked what you fishing for?. most anglers up north fish for muskie or walleye.That time of year. Nope --WERE FISHING FOR bass. BASS.??? Why?? biggest fish we ever caught.. they don't like Bass ! We stopped telling /them we were fishing for Bass . Changed it to Walleye/Muskie. ALL catch and release.. over the years the colors changed, but!! the major catch always come;s from jet black.and still does. thanks for the VID i really liked it BTW- 20 years later later . the lakes are Loaded with bass fishermen. -guess who still kills them??? Mike

[@yokai.chaser]

I love how truly passionate you are for this sport. I think that let everything sink in a lot better.

[@chaseparks56]

"If your rod deflects, hit em! If it's grass, it'll just pop out." - Matt *spends an entire afternoon snagging every log in the entire lake.

[@shawnowens4818]

Too true, I I'm a southern mn man and I am surrounded by logs and branches, you almost have to spot fish for anything now days (in a kayak or boat)

[@justinbigras3852]

You're probably fishing the right stuff tho.. bass love wood structure..

[@hanburgundy4317]

Two out of the three lakes I fish have pretty clear water, so I use mostly swimbaits - soft-plastic shad, bluegill, or perch lures or my personal favorite the swimbait/crankbait hybrid: it has a fat body and a long tail and combines the wobble of a crankbait with the swimming action of a swimbait and bass go nuts for it. The only problem is that you really have to know what's a bite and what isn't or you'll snag every stick there is and lose your lures.

[@bassinbilliards6279]

Clear lake has little to no timber

[@jdogg661420]

weightless texas weedless. I use 6lb mono and Its fine.. I think here its worse.. we have tons of small rocks on bottom.. so you cant really use any bait or you will snag it so easily.. but weightless texas weedless can last a long time in this area that is the worst to shorefish from. the shoreline is limited here also.. that's what makes it so much of a pain.. it gets cliffy quick and its heavy pressured also.. lake sucks so bad I wouldn't want my enemy to fish here lol. though can get tanks here.

[@shawnbeck2303]

My friend from and I have been watching fishing video's for a week. We went Today At a pond around his condo. Had a fountain in the middle. We caught largemouth bass for 4 hrs. Frogs, spinner baits, jigs and senkos. The biggest I caught was probably 5 to 6 pds on a senko. He hit hard. Caught me off guard. Been catching 2 to 3 pounders all day. Awesome day of fishing. Shawn

[@arosas267]

Great video. Me and my 6 year old have been learning to fish together this summer. We tried the basic fake worms with a texas rig and he caught 6 bass in one day at the pond by our house. He was so happy he almost had tears. Thanks so much.

[@NicholasJens]

I’ve been looking for a video exactly like this. The hardest part is visualizing what the bait is doing in the water, and how it attracts fish. Thanks for this🤘🏼

[@buryurfear14]

After half a lifetime only fishing salt, I've been super into fresh water the last few months. Love the video!! One of the best I've seen

[@jonwhite7073]

I love the way you approach these videos. Me, and I'm sure a lot of others are overwhelmed by all the choices and techniques out there. I just don't fish enough to keep up with everything, so it helps me to really narrow the scope down and have some general understanding about worm fishing and some tried and true methods/tools such as you taught with this video. Really filled a lot of gaps in my understanding about worm fishing in. Thanks so much!

[@chrise4994]

Just stick to the tried and true black/fire tail worm. It will catch bass in any state, any river, pond, lake, stream, or mud hole.😎👍. Just put a light weight on it... doesn’t matter the shape and cast it out there and get funky with it.

[@RonCheddar]

Every one of these videos is a treasure trove of knowledge. it's awesome.

[@frybrothersfishing611]

As I was watching this, a thought popped in my head. You guys could probably write the most useful bass fishing book on the market.

Much love for the senko and straight tail worms obviously, but I think there's something to what he was saying about the speed worm. That's not something ppl are onto where I am. Also, I like what Matt said about worm fishing being one of the first and most basic techniques you learn but it's so effective that you'll always do it.

[@Gravy_Master]

Trick Worm on a 3/16 or 1/4 oz Shaky Head is an absolutely lethal rig.

[@NJtrailflow]

I do exactly what you said with the 10 inch curly tail worm. I been dragging my bait for the past 3 years and it always delivers!

[@BragginrightsFishin]

You guys just alone have taught me way more than all the books,magazines, and other videos have.. Just wish the bass around here got the chance to get as big. Love the videos and how in depth you guys are. Please never stop making them.

[@qontoh2s872]

6" Black Yamasenko is my default lure on a carolina rig. Great video.

[@thorgren1316]

I love this. Not that it’s information a lot of us don’t know. It’s just that I love work fishing. One thing you didn’t talk a lot about here is Carolina rigging curly tails and speed worms. Here in Utah we have deep reservoirs, steep drop offs and shelf’s. And these hold a lot of fish that people just overlook or give up on. Carolina rigging big curly tails is a trick I’ve started to use and it works. I caught a lot of fish this year Carolina rigging off of shelf’s, through ditches, big underwater rock piles. Structure where the Carolina will shine vs Texas rigging and Its just been so fun. The worm I use the nose is the Zero Baits megaworm. It’s a 10” curly tail. Great colors. I know I’m the Owner of Zero Baits but I mean It’s what I absolutely love to do. Zero-Baits.com

[@stevencaldwell838]

Before I watched / happened onto this video, I was mapping a lake and thinking to myself, I really need ( for myself ) to go back to some proven, basic techniques. I use to slay bass on a Tex rigged 6” tequila sunrise robo worm. All day long! With one rod, and that was it ( years ago ) but I still caught tons of bass! Funny how caught up we get with all the “stuff” and forget about what actually works day in and day out. If fish some of the most highly pressured reservoirs on earth ( So Cal ) and without a doubt, will have at least two rods or more with a variety of worm techniques tied on! Thanks Matt for stoken the fire.... 🎣🤙

[@dougbas3980]

I am a novice fisher at 76YO. I really learned a lot. I am going to eat what I catch. People that fish all the time, well, catch and release is great. For people that get to fish four times a year, well I am going to eat them (LOL). Thanks😀.

[@fishnmaster421]

I run a black trick worm on a Carolina rig when nothing else is working, slow slow slow presentation. And I’ll catch fish all day while my buddies are ripping crank baits and chatter baits all day with no bites. I’ll catch fish on a black 5” trick worm in a mud hole. 9 times out of 10 they get bit. Any water color, Any sky, and temp, any water temp, 5” black trick Carolina rig, it just works. My opinion

[@gooutsideandplay4975]

Once again, thank you so much for simplifying it. I will be picking some up and trying them. Thanks again for not just saying that I need a dedicated $200 rod that I can’t afford and explaining what to look for. Always appreciate the advice.

[@calebmeek1509]

I absolutely agree with the fact that speedworms are very underrated. I love them in clear grassy water. One detail to point out is the speedworm you linked in the description is the original with just a flat paddle tail. To get the best action, you need to go with the "ultravibe" style with the hooked tail like you showed in the video.

[@davidpence5609]

What kind of hook is that on the Texas rig. I couldn't nsee it. I usually do catfishing but I have a new kayak and ready to try bass fishing and realized I don't know shit about it.

Thx great video, I think the senko has overshadowed just old fashion Larry Nixon style worm fishing. I’m glad you mentioned the power bait worms, I think the plastic worm has accounted for more fish probably more than any bait next to a spinner bait and a jig

[@JB-wg8id]

Fantastic video! One of my favorite spots is a small pond in a forest preserve, shallow, filled with weeds and Bluegill, but super clear, my go to is a 5 inch Senko in watermelon/red flake and a 3 inch Yum Dinger in pumpkin/chartreuse tail

[@user-by6yc8yl7v]

A huge point about the straight tail worm that is so important for people to know - especially when rigged on a shakey head or finesse rig is the difference salt vs no salt makes in the worm... rig a 5" trick worm loaded w salt on a 1/4oz shakeyhead and rig the same 5" worm on the same 1/4oz rig without salt and drop them side to side In water in your bath tub or sink.

Gary Yamamoto 5 inch Senko, Watermelon Magic. Texas rig 3/0. It's crazy, the Bass will grab it, and if you don't set the hook you stop reeling for 10 seconds and they will keep coming back for it. Got a nice 21 inch Largemouth after finally setting the hook on the 5th attempt. In Michigan they work well starting in Mid May and work amazing until October.
