Hi Randy, I enjoy your videos. I started fishing plastic worms many years ago. Didn't have proper worms hooks, Just used snelled hooks I had. In the years since then, I used proper hooks and rigged the worm straight like they always say you should, but in fact, when I rigged with snelled hooks the head of the worm would be sort of cocked and this made the worms swim in a really effective way. I stopped doing that because I wanted to fish "properly", but in fact, swimming the worm back cockeyed was very effective and it definitely had a swimming quality which a straight rigged worm does not.. Next time I fish worms I'm going to try that again. I think it is a very effective way to fish a worm if you are swimming it.

[@dawnparker2014]

Thank you Randy for taking "your" time out of your day to give me a fisher(woman) all the information i can absorb. And its a lot of information! Tight lines

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

The Florida staple!

[@barryhowell9]

The Zman Turbo FattyZ has changed the game, been smokin them down here in SoFlo swimming it threw grass and hydrilla, and also buzzing it across the slop and it just gets hammered! Love your honesty and your tips Randy!

[@benniebailey7279]

Randy, I’ve seen several posts about which part of the speed worm should be up or down. Before rigging, you said the tail should be up (it appeared the point was up). After rigging it looked like the point was down. I’m sure either way would probably work but I want to make sure I understand it to get the best action. Thanks for sharing your fishing knowledge. I always enjoy your videos.

[@JohnK-dv7pb]

Yeah, hook and tail were on same side when rigged?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Curl up

[@guyb5333]

@@randyblaukatintuitive I have the same question. You rigged it with the hook acting like a keel and the curl of the tail pointing down. But you said the curl of the tail should be pointing up. it didn't make sense could you clarify please

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

@@JohnK-dv7pb The point was you want it tail facing up

[@JohnK-dv7pb]

I fish the grubs tail up..always wondered about the speed worms. Thanks for the tip. We don't have grass but I'm going to try slow rolling them out deeper, probably much deeper.

[@bobbywhite2964]

Thanks Randy, I really enjoy your video's.

[@jamesjordan4051]

I will sometimes put a red plastic bead above the hook. It just seems to trigger a bass to hit the worm and hold on more. Another great video. Im still looking forward to the deep water spinner bait video.

[@sethook-ro4xh]

Thank you so much. I have been looking for an edge on August fishing. I was using the speed worm the wrong way. Green pumpkin watermelon is the only color I have tried so far.

[@douglasspickler4925]

Thanks for the rigging tip. I need to pay attention when I rig mine.

[@malikstiffler]

I’ve never understood the concept of the offset hooks not having good hook up ratios, I use an offset hook on everything soft plastic and land 99% of the fish that hit my lure, maybe I’ve just learned my timing with the hooks who knows

[@kevinbeaudean704]

No I agree , that hybrid gamma Randy used is the hook I use and it DOESN'T miss. Stick to your guns.

[@anthonysmith3931]

99% that's crazy good. I catch the fish I actually get a hook n them to start with but I miss 50% of my hits at times. Alot of it is small fish I guess.

[@malikstiffler]

@@anthonysmith3931 it’s all about timing man, and knowing if the fish has actually committed make sure your line is already moving for a few seconds then set your hook, once you get used to it you’ll learn to tell the difference between getting hit and the fish actually eating the lure

[@dhjhawk]

My go to bait. Also sometimes like to burn it, then kill it, then repeat. Get a lot of strikes on the fall when I kill it.

[@chundle09]

This is a super underrated technique. Fletcher shryock and Keith Carson made me start throwing it. But I’m curious which your favorite colors are Randy? Watermelon red is my go to!

[@markpousard4393]

Good tips. I have never had any luck with the cutter worms. I will definitely try your tips. Thank you.

Randy, great info! I went to a Zoom speed worm this year & it is absolute $$. You have to have confidence & stick with it. I use it in grass flats up North.

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Feel better bud. You don’t doubt too well. Thanks for a nice tip for rigging that speed worm!

[@basstobasscookingbrentbabi5411]

[@mikekelley102]

I discovered speed worms last year. The small lake I fish has grass all around the perimeter. Speed worms never fail me in that grass…

[@fritzbucher4726]

I love speed worms. I use them as trailers and I will run them Texas style with a non weighted punch skirt.

[@gregwilliams4201]

Good stuff Randy keep rocking....

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanks Randy. Sounds like a blast. I do something similar with a trick worm in grass, fishing it like a jerk bait.

[@maxcole3930]

I definitely like zoom speed worm's & Zmans aswell. I fish them similarly but I also texas rige them & craw on bottom slowly, just fast enough to get the tail to thump. Clarks hill is a great lake the dam & Savannah river it's 20 minutes from my house . I've just been fishing it for a year now sense we moved from southwest OH. So I'm still exploring alot, caught alot good largemouth, spots & striper!

[@JotownJack]

Hey Randy, this may seem unrelated to this video but I saw your swim worm video that you said you learned from Doug Hannon. Shortly after that a Doug Hannon video came up. You've probably seen it but just in case you haven't I wanted to pass it on. The youtube title is "Doug Hannon-The Bass Professor-Catching Big Bass (1986)" . It's a 56 minute video but about 8 minutes into it he is talking about the swim worm set up. I enjoy your content.

[@lucashawks2160]

I love fishing this type of worm the way you would a regular Texas rig in the summer.

That’s my confidence bait right now. I’ve caught most of my fish this year on it up here in NY. My PB for the year too.

[@waynebell8305]

Sure worked for me this last week in South GA.

[@SpookyRedz]

With the curl tail grub rigged on a jig head the curl tail should face up plus the dark shade of the bait should be on top and the lighter color on the bottom or belly , with the curl facing up

[@foreverfishingillinois815]

Hey Randy Foreverfishingillinois here again here in Illinois it's been tough bass fishing the only way I've been getting fish lately is wacky rigged let it drop literally on top of the basses head then they hit it mind you I'm on the bank no electronics

[@myownlane8409]

Great video as usual!

[@johnharrington4116]

Hey Randy- I have using the buzz tail worms by Producto with a 3/8 oz weight in deeper water stop and go bounce off the bottom with good success

[@walleyechannel]

Randy, I’ve been down the Lynn Dollar rabbit hole this whole weekend. Man, you have really been caught up in some great stuff in the late Eighties. How about a mental Monday on reflection. How do you feel about your decisions good and or bad? And if you ever watch all of these videos that your in. does it seem surreal now seeing you as a young angler and what might you tell you all these years later as life flashes?

[@zachg5356]

I stumbled on to this one. Need to using this more I fish a ton of shallow vegetation in Florida

[@brianpierson7708]

Randy remember the helicopter lure hook it had the swivel on it well I had a bunch of them hooks I got somewhere and still have a fue of them and that hook and swivel with a worm is awesome for this method but shines on the floating worm that’s where I started using it in the early 90’s and have caught way over a thousand fish on it because it has just enough to pull the nose down since and slow

[@kevinhaley1150]

Hi randy loved the video,new technics allways great tip but on different topic,and don't like to complain but only got 1 members only video this week just wondering why

[@ChuckRiley123]

Good info. Thank You

[@LucasBoone318]

I do the same here with the swimming super fluke in a white, or white/ice color.

[@erichildreth7562]

I used to when I was a kid, throw a Texas rigged worm (6" purple worm with a white tail) a light weight. I would cast it and then just reel it in. I would vary my retrieve speeds but honestly I really did not know the best way to fish a plastic worm at that time, now I do. Thanks for sharing this with us and what are your thoughts on using a skip gap hook instead? Just curious and any info is appreciated! :)

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

👍

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Gambler Burner worm says tail should point down. Why this one up? Just curious… thanks!

[@SpookyRedz]

Same way I rig my curl tail grubs , a hook is always going to run with the point up , just like a jig head

[@DanGriffin10]

Randy, love your stuff! it looks like after you rigged that worm the tail curl was facing down but I thought earlier in the vid you said it shld face up. Can you pls clarify?

[@franksancimino1297]

Brother...the hook fàces the sky....bend in worm fàces the lake (down) "all" curl tail worms the bend in hook n bend in worm are never "facing" each other if u lay them on a flat surface...any KZbin Texas rig vid will show you..Randy doesn't respond much.... but his wisdom is usually more than we can hope for. Peace Good Fishing !

[@michaelrector8307]

At the end 👍😂

[@johnadams5536]

Could you use speed worming as a follow up bait for a Top water like a buzzbait for short strikes

[@rangerbull]

Don’t if you have a gammy hook sponsor but you seen or try the new owner haymaker hooks? Hard to find but did find a few 3/0 and 4/0 bags

[@myriammorrison9840]

[@banditva8040]

What size speed worm use as top water about 6 in deep

[@michaelrector8307]

What would you say are the 2 best colors to throw approaching fall

[@tjl42069]

Landed a few good ones like this when they just wouldn't eat much else. Water here tends to be relatively dirty though.

[@1MoreCast]

Going to try this, I think I been fishing it took slow… thanks

[@russellkamp8923]

How would this work with a magnum o'l monster?

[@robbysee4148]

Not to beat a dead horse but I’m confused. If the tail curls the opposite way from the hook as you specifically point out, wouldn’t the hook act as the keel weight and make the tail run down? Sorry for being so dense but want to get it right and can’t wait to try it. Thanks for all of the videos.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

I meant to say that the tail needs to be pointing up

[@robbysee4148]

Thanks for the quick response. On another note, can you do a lake breakdown on the upper end of an 843 acre lake?

I travel to fish in Florida two-three times a year and throw a zoom , gambler or bass assassin speed worm 75% of the time …produces a few 6-9 pound bass consistently. Always good for some 3-5 pound fish on my local lake.

[@benonem]

this is how i caught my pb smallie on accident too and blasted it like top water

What size hook do you recommend ? And they are good for Flippin on Douglas lake in the late spring when there is flooded cover

Usually 3/0

@@randyblaukatintuitive thanks

[@dgreen6987]

So the curve in the speed worm tail leading up to the point/tip of the speed worm and the hook bend leading up to the barb and hook point should be running the same direction or if placed flat on its side on the table the orientation of the hook bend and the speed worm bend are the same rigged pointed up when retrieved through the water ???

[@franksancimino1297]

Brother that's what he said...but it's not what he rigged....I have a headache...Iive in Fl. It's a staple...I'm lost I rig it same as every curl tail hook point up tail down...how it runs at supper?

[@SpookyRedz]

A lot of 2 colored curl tail grubs are not 2 colored on the correct side , for that curl tail to be in an upward position , top and bottom like a worm is no good , the 50/50 split in half faces the wrong way on the curl tail grub
