So cool! Congrats!

That pro tip on rigging the 10" worm on shakey head and not going all the way through is gold, pure gold Tyler, appreciate all that you do to inform and advance fishing and community

[@dustingross1535]

Agreed! Now I know why I was missing bites on the shaky head. Will definitely try this rigging method next time I head out.

Cause it takes a long time to get there on this platform! Share my videos with all of your friends, and I will get there faster👍🏼

[@brycelessfishing]

A big worm on the Texas rig is the best way, you just can’t beat it bro. After watching the full video I learned a lot from you once again. Keep up the great videos Tyler, you’re crushing it💯🎣

Thanks homie!

[@babadeedee]

chest mount view of how you rig soft plastic worms was VERY helpful! Thanks, Tyler.

[@Joshdrew352]

Started fishing very young and only used zoom trick worms Texas rig with a 1/8 oz bullet and 14lb flouro or mono since that’s what my dad always used. I’ve learned a lot from your vids and have caught bass with different setups. Thank you for the tips

[@TylersReelFishing]

That’s what I like to hear!

[@757bigbear]

Want to say thank you for always looking out for us bank fishermen!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Of course, Paul! I know that there are so many different types of anglers, which is why I make so many different types of videos

-“Now why do bass eat a worm like the cut r’ worm or any worm?” -“I have absolutely zero clue” Lol love how you keep it real Tyler 🤙🏾💯

[@Oooweee440]

just started fishing and have no clue what to even do, so this will be definitely my set up to fish for bass and see what happen

[@cyberyakeradventures]

I will sometimes put a tiny bead between the tungsten weight and the worm. And recently bobber stops have become my friend.

I have so much confidence in a big Texas rig worm! I’m mainly a curly tail worm guy! They just get bit! I also fish a big worm different than most people I also will fish a big worm shallow and flip it around shallow targets and shaded docks! It works!

[@TylersReelFishing]

I’m sure it can! I just haven’t seen many pros on tour doing it, which is where I learn most of what I do

[@michaelwright519]

Love how the turtle was just chilling in the background when u was rigging the lures up

[@TylersReelFishing]

I know haha

[@babadeedee]

That’s so funny! I didn’t see it at first.

[@srchristopher6040]

Awesome advice! Some anglers are intimidated, by using big worms! Big EWG hook, big soft plastic worm, boom…….!, there’s the point. It’s all about the timing of the hook set! Great video!

[@jmccOutdoors]

Love this T. I’ve only been bass fishing for about 6 months. Always trying the “latest and greatest” lures that honestly I can’t afford to be losing at the $10(+) prices. Senko on the bank and big worm deep sounds pretty simple and straight forward.

[@jamesdent5737]

Takes a while to get a good feel and rhythm for fishing plastics but they work better than any lure that I have from the bank

[@TylersReelFishing]

It really is pretty simple. Won’t break the bank either!

[@farstrider79]

Green Senkos weightless or wacky rig, black trick worms on a shaky head, and flukes have caught 90% of my bass over the years. Everything more expensive tends to stay in the bag. Going to give the big worms a try.

[@Turlesy]

Dinks and mondos on the big worm! I've been throwing a weightless big worm at the pond next to my house. The snot/gunk grass in that pond is out of control and even a single weight would pull in so much of it. It's slow but it works. Can't even use topwater right now until it rains and the wind pushes the gunk down.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Dang! You can for sure use a frog though

[@Turlesy]

@@TylersReelFishing You're right. My last frog got the sticky legs from the Texas heat. I need to buy another one! I can work the plopper around the gunk patches but the frog is definitely king there.

[@crossroadsheavener7599]

What is the company name of the curlytail worm? The description was of the straight tail. TY

Great video Tyler, this will come into immediate use here in OK this summer.

[@TylersReelFishing]

@@TylersReelFishing BTW, I'm no longer only a bank beater. I just got a fully rigged out SS127. Time for me to plumb back through all your content to relearn a bunch of stuff but from the water instead of shore. Thanks again for all the content. It is great.

[@shanesmith8363]

I am obviously late to the party since this is an old video but I want to try the large shakey heads this year. One thing I didnt notice in the video Tyler is what size shakey head do you recommend. There are 4 sizes of the recommended buckeye jig. If I was to get only 1 or maybe 2 what size? Thanks for your input and keep the great videos coming!

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

I've caught some of my best bass on plastic worms. 7" in black/chartreuse, black/blue fleck, or purple. I've found dark colors work in the murky waters that just about every pond has in my state. Sometimes I simply use plain jigheads, but in the especially weedy ponds, I'll use a Texas Rig. Given the shallow ponds I fish in, I don't need to use anything heavier than 1/4 oz.

[@shanescott3168]

Great video. I have a package of 10" Zoom Ol Monsters I wonder how to use. I'll have to give them another try. Crazy how even small bass will hit big baits at the right time of year.

Went out today to pull the crank bait one of them ahead the beautiful dozen or so cast with worms but I also had four birds nest. I’m still happy because I had a dozen good ones and had kidding you so I put the brake on it may be just a little bit more.

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. Yesterday morning after the top water died the wind kicked up and we tried spinnerbaits / chatterbaits with the 15 mph winds. Nothing worked until we switched to dead sticking weightless soft plastics even in the wind. I picked up some 12 inch worms to try for the deeper parts of the pond / lake I fish. Been catching fish when I go but all in that 1lb - 1.5lb range on jigs and soft plastics shallow cover. Im gonna try upsizing to the big worm and casting deep.

I used to throw big worns in California but I've kind of gotten away from that with jigs and a few choice hard baits. I've recently said I need to start using all my soft plastics I have so this summer the big worm is definitely coming back and we'll try your tips for sure 👍🏻

[@TylersReelFishing]

Baits are usually cyclical for the fishing industry. Some will be popular for years, and then go out of style for whatever reason. I think the big worm is coming back 👍🏼

How do you decide when to use a magnum shakey head worm vs a Texas rig vs a Carolina rig vs a Drop/Power shot technique when fishing offshore summer structure areas? Thanks.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I rotate em all in brush piles, the shaky head in rock, and usually the drop shot in grass

[@joshferrell898]

I believe the sound of the curly tail worm is what triggers bass, we all know that different speeds cause different sounds so you can manipulate baits like a curly tail worm to make different sounds until you find what works

[@takG6]

Hey Tyler, not sure if you’ve done a video like this or not, but could you do one over soft plastics that you find to be extremely versatile? For instance, a bait that you feel could be used for deep, middle, top water columns. It would be super beneficial to me and I’m sure others that don’t have the money to spend on tons of rods and/or baits.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I’ll add it to the list!

Tyler.. What are your thoughts on big/bigger worms when it comes to small mouth? Outside of the obvious smaller mouth, and for the most part how they tend to prefer finesse, I’ve caught smallies on sone pretty sizable crankbaits, so just curious how often you use big worms for smallies….

[@SoSaysYou]

Even though it's not considered "big" by Industry standards the z-man mag fattyz is much beefier than most other 7.5" worms. Also, do you recommend "drag" retrieval for the straighttail worm on a Shakey head?

Worms can breathe in water and sometimes end up in the water especially during a lightning storm. Large night crawlers can be near the size of those worms. Leaches also can be fairly long as well, snakes and newts look very similar size and shape to a worm. For big worms I like straight shank worms hooks smaller better! Look up mojo rig.

I just really don’t think there’s enough worms, leeches, and snakes for bass to really be able to know that is what your soft plastic worm represents

I don’t think the weight is what’s causing that to happen. Soft plastics just weaken, especially after fish catches, which causes it to fall down. But hey, if it’s workin for ya, keep it up!
