Trout Fishing Worms | How To Set Up Bobber & Worm For Trout Fishing Lakes Or Ponds

Trout fishing with worms is one of the best ways to catch any species of trout. Nightcrawlers are usually the worm of choice when targeting rainbow trout or any other trout for that matter. Trout fishing with bobber and worms in lakes or ponds is pretty simple to do. All you need is a basic spinning setup, a bobber, hooks, and some nightcrawlers or mealworms. In this video Addicted Guide Jordan Knigge talks about the entire trout fishing setup. Jordan shows you how to rig the bobber and worm setup and how to be successful when trout fishing with the worms. If your interested in getting out trout fishing at all feel free to message us and we can get you link up with Addicted Guide Jordan Knigge. Jordan can actually get you out on the water to do some trout fishing with worms and bobbers and many other techniques.

Thanks for watching Addicts! We have a lot more trout videos coming, so please give us your suggestions of trout videos you want to see in the future, were making these videos for you!! See you on the river - Marlin 🤘🎣 Watch More Trout Fishing Tips Here: kzbin.info/aero/PLlig7tUTrWvaKdCbd8Omfhj7IxuePwqID

[@cowboycody8094]

How do you know when a hook is too big for the fish in the river that you are fishing at?

[@edwardandrade4390]

What size of hooks did you use for this setup?

[@cowboycody8094]

@Sparka I don't know where you are from but you are allowed to take your own bait of choice to most ponds and lakes stocked by Game and Fish in California, Arizonia, Utah and Wyoming.

[@robstonehouse9386]

Show different setups and describe different rigs.

[@Declan-pg8cg]

Night crawler? Weird name for an earthworm.

[@mattentwistle7238]

I’m a new angler and Jordan has no idea but he’s taught me literally everything I know about fishing. I’m way more confident and FAR more addicted than I was before finding this channel. Thank you for hooking me!!

[@jerumd]

Well I think he missed one thing.. You're not supposed to show any fish out there your hook point and a menacing barb next to your bait worm. He was supposed to hide the hook point inside of the worm's body, not showing it. Fish still have eyes and brains, and some individuals are downright smart and very inquisitive! Especially those fish individuals who had a previous traumatic experience getting hooked before by a fisherman and they eventually released em. I do agree with the rest of his setup demo like setting up a round bobber, basic fishing knots, split shot weight ets.. I just don't agree with his poor presentation with a hook point & barb that's sticking right out like a sore thumb for every fish to see in that lake. You might as well be scaring off a lot of fish in that lake than attracting them with type of presentation.

[@SPECIALIZEDp2CROMO]

I like these simple tutorials, but i would enjoys seeing you guys catching fish with the set ups. Like a casual fishing day type video. Great videos all around though.

[@shellyrhazeleur6029]

I started to give you a thumbs down but changed it because I don’t dislike you or your comment, I just disagree with it! If I wanted to watch them fish, then I have too much time on my hands when I could be fishing!😜 really though, I seek out Information all the time and get so annoyed when I get a piece of it, and then have to wait through watching them fish or tell a story, or rattle off a list of other options that just confuse me. I want direct and want to be able to see it clear and up close. To the point. I like to watch them fish when I am looking for it. And I do… but, I end up watching a lot of 1/2 watched videos because I become lost, or bored, or can’t see what they are talking about. I only share my two sense because I don’t want him to start doing that. I plan on coming back for more advice. That’s why I don’t keep my opinion to myself.

[@frankiefernandez5252]

One of the best tutorials on this setup I've seen....thanks ...I'm subscribing

[@AddictedFishing]

Thanks for the Sub!!!

[@nyfaniloandrianjafy8171]

You can't get any more old school than that. This is the simplest setup for a lot of fishes but so effective

[@agiantcub8it542]

Man your vid is almost a yr old and still one of the most clear cut but not watered down tutorials. Informative without being overbearing nice balance for an intro vid. Thanks for the quality content! Looking forward to watching more SUB’D

[@johngates450]

A good refresher course. I use the same exact method . I fish in sloughs that as a Farmer told me havent been fished in 40 years. He gave me the ok to fish there.. Thx again for the video!

[@SledorFish]

Sea-run cutthroat fishing in coastal streams with small spinners, spoons, or flies. I'm just getting my nephew into fishing and we had a blast doing this. Keep the videos coming. It is nice to see our northwest fisheries well represented on KZbin.

[@fmerritt2001]

I grew up in FL fishing and enjoy the trout videos which is a new fish for me since moving near N. GA mts. I unexpectedly learned a better way to rig a bobber and worm from how we “used to do it”. Threading a small piece of worm on the hook shaft seems a great idea to try. Thanks for excellent content.

[@therosses5]

I've been fishing for almost 55 years and never thought to wrap my line around the bobber clasps a few times! I think of my dad and grandpa every time I grab worm for bait. :-)

[@benandres9627]

People including me make fishing seem so technical and complicated at times and it certainly can be. Video just reminded me that all you really need to get by is what u started with: a bobber and worm

[@michaelchomin8079]

Very good clear demonstration! So many other posters' videos are titled "How to Catch Trout" and then we see quick cuts of them just reeling in fish after fish with no demo on rigging, no advice, etc. Thank you!

[@lindapoore7608]

Thank you for the wonderful demonstration! I learned a great deal from it.

[@user-iv1nx5ik5f]

Thank you my friend I'm taking my dad trout fishing next week hopefully this set up works. Thank you for your time in making all these videos

[@garrettsanislo3910]

Back to basics... Love it!!! Could be a hit new series...

[@drew_de8990]

Haven’t been bobber fishing since last fall😂 needed a refresher! Thanks man!

[@maucalhdz]

You guys rock! Thanks for all of your videos, I like how you explain and go over every little thing for a good trout fishing!

[@jeremycortright5788]

Love watching you guys. Learned a lot of techniques that actually work well!!! Thanks guys.

[@josealvarez8997]

Thank you for sharing a lot of useful tips for a beginner like me. Experience anglers like you help keep us beginners to keep trying to make this learning experience fun. I would like to see you cast the line with the bobber. Which I'll be buying real soon for my next weekend fishing trip.

[@whitetailpoet4243]

This brings back childhood memories of fishing Sunnies off the dock but it still works. Thanks, and peace from West Central Mn.

[@karac9754]

I love your guy's videos. I grew up watching my brother and dad fish but was never taught how. I recently got really into fishing and am obsessed. I can't say how much I appreciate your basic videos. It's hard to find videos that go over the simple stuff! Subscribed! 👍

[@AddictedFishing]

🤘🙌🙌

[@Richard-ug4el]

This is a really simple and informative video, covering some really useful points. Nice one. Thanks.

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

10lb. mainline for stocked trout is overkill. 4-6lb will do the job just fine and increases the fun factor. Glad to see you guys switching gears a bit!

[@keiranrooker7981]

Taylor Abrego stocked trout don’t fight as hard as wild trout but there smart and will run you into trees and with the 10 pound you give them that muscle to stop them from running you into the tree

[@keiranrooker7981]

Also I assume they use 10 pound cause 10 pound comes on most reels that are spooked already

[@Twilliams60142]

Glad I found your video! Finally a video that teaches basic live bait pole setup. I've been trying to find a video like this for a couple of days and most of them were using fishing lingo that I never heard of. Mostly for pros. I'm not pro by no means at all. As of matter of fact, I haven't been fishing in about 3 years because of frustration of not catching fish. I actually didn't know that you had to tie both ends of the bobber...LOL. You get a like from me on this one!

[@duffman2218]

Perfect video exactly what I was looking for to get started, very easy to follow, thanks!

[@dann6888]

You need more subs! Thank you for teaching us so well.

[@kimberlydelaney3198]

Thank you!!! Taking my girls out for Mother’s Day. Needed a refresher course. Think I got it 👍

[@russwoods1715]

Aaannnd another great tutorial video. Keep 'em coming!

[@RJ-bw6uq]

This is a perfect learning video. Keep up the good work brother thumbs up. 👍🏽

[@dustinpeterson1546]

Great video, short, clear and concise!

[@reggie1583]

Just want to thank you for the information as i am a beginner trying to learn how to catch trout. I have caught a 500lb marlin back home in hawaii. But never fished this way before so i am very happy for your sharing these good information

[@nunamorais4392]

YOUR THE BEST BECAUSE EVERY VIDEO IS STEP BY STEP LOVE IT!

[@hakanyldz3721]

We’re happy with the bobbers. Haven’t fished in years, and worked as well as I remember years ago catching fish.

[@moralesjose7800]

Thanks amigo the best tutorial for fishing set up in KZbin 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jasonjones2239]

Great video for the basics!

[@steakslapn9724]

Moving to Newfoundland at the end of the month. The trout better look the hell out!

[@harley.mason6]

Hey I am almost 10 years old and I grew up in the south and I love fishing hunting and All most really anything this really helped me learn how to bait and put my bober on to help my father then again thank you I am subscribing

[@jonathanmack7969]

I just saw this video. Thanks for the informative setup. I just subbed.

[@felsal20]

New here. You're a really good teacher man. Subscribed.

[@sk360flip]

Thank you man. My son is interested and I’m trying to learn so I can teach him right.

[@gregoryk.tanaka4285]

Excellent detail, thank you!

[@umeshgopalakrishnan1203]

Thanks buddy) good presentation and nice tips

[@SasquatchTX]

Definately old school. The bobbers I use have changed, but the general rig is the same. Round bouy bobbers gave way to more streamlined floats by Aero or Thill, downsized versions of those I use when steelheading. The tall, thin floats or quill style floats give less resistance to the fish and better bite detection for light biters. But I still use small shot to balance the float, and either a micro jig, a fly, or a worm (usually soft plastic these days) - and that Celilo is a great inexpensive rod. I have owned a bunch of them over the years. My son broke my last one. My favorite is the 7'6" light power for 4-10lb line. I paired mine with a Shimano Sienna reel and 4lb Trilene most of the time.

[@wesleyk.8376]

1:02 hey thanks for the visuals on setup man. I really appreciate it

[@derekirelandsirsmokepotalo1152]

Great video pal easily explained thanks 👍

[@NWRuss]

I like that you guys are doing some videos on trout! I hope to see an episode on some broodstock trout here in Central Oregon or maybe some Mackinaws! I only use 4-6 fluorocarbon for BAIT when fishing for trout, and then I use 10 fluorocarbon or 6-8 pound monofilament when using LURES for trout. Oh! and I prefer using legit bobber setups instead of the old school red and white ones, after I learned the sliding bobber setup I have not looked back

[@vinhha3857]

Thank you , very detail vids brother...

[@babytstorm]

Thanks for that brother👌

[@tdub2399]

Great video next you should talk about what biats to use when the weather changes for the lakes and stocked ponds!!!

[@jasonflikkema8257]

Awesome! Thanks again!

[@worms1]

great vid; thanks bro

[@rhabdob3895]

You’re a great teacher. Or you have a great editor. Either way, nice work.

[@caroljames3853]

Thanks for this _ I’m from ‘down under’ and learning how you guys fish in northern climes.

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

I'm from 'down under' too...if you ever need any tips/advice feel free to reach out brotha!

[@FutureSerialKiller]

@@StopFishingStartCatching 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍

[@eml5086]

Well done! Thanks

[@AddictedFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@MyChaoticFishing]

I guess I’ll have to make a version of this video, until then, I’ve sent this to a few people who’ve messaged me asking how to get started catching fish on their local city ponds. It’s simple, easy, well spoken, and heck, if a bobber and a worm don’t catch some brim on a local city pond, I tell them to look for another pond lol

[@vicrawhog9582]

Thanks for the info.

[@IndustryPets]

I really like your presentation

[@rogerbird7015]

You can also do a bottom rig where you tie a bell sinker about 12 to 18 inches above the hook. Inflate the worm using a syringe or worm blower to make it float. Be careful that you don't cause the worm to burst open. We did this drift fishing the North Fork in Arkansas.

[@mhmdsam6203]

So helpful man thnx

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

awesome! good luck out there! Let me know if I can help at all!

[@SunKissedPeach]

Simple yet effective

[@the_brick_bali9956]

so effective that i had nothing on the hook and just a bobber and the fish ate it!

[@bowfin3078]

Caught two trout on a lake yesterday using bobbers. I used half a worm hooked in the middle so that it would wiggle more as it slowly sank. I also used no split shots. The trout both struck after the bobbers had been out awhile, so I'm not sure how much the worm slowly falling mattered to them. Some small bass that I watched when testing in the shallows loved the slow fall tho.

[@fetchingphotos]

As a noob to fishing, I really appreciate this! Looks like your at my home lake, Battle Ground :)

[@AddictedFishing]

For sure! Please share out there, we have a bunch more videos coming breaking down the basics for beginners looking to get out and catch some fish!

[@cherylmortensen3631]

Thank you! Perfect video for a beginner mom trying to take kids out. How far should the weights be from the bobber??

[@graysonsavri9125]

thx ima use this for my second rod.

[@shellyrhazeleur6029]

How far away from the bobber should the weight be? Oh and thank you for the video. I will tell you why I really appreciate it and learned from it. It was short. It was to the point. You gave the details on everything you did from start to finish. I could see what you were doing. And you didn’t get side-tracked from what you were teaching. Great video!

[@RG615]

Great tutorial.....thx 👏

[@gordonsmith2710]

Brilliant and simple tutorial and so easy to follow. Love to see how you use a spinner in either a lake or is it possible in a river?

[@MosesMLam]

Thanks for the super easy to follow video! Just wondering, how do you determine what depth to put the worm below the float? Or is it just trial and error? Looking forward to more vids!

[@CHEFBENTV23]

Very nice information.

[@LynnForbus]

Good video. Thanks

[@daveboone7432]

really helpful thank u

[@Unpluggedoutside]

I would love to see a trout fishing video of you guys catching those bigger trout like the broodstock ones that are released in Washington and Oregon.

[@AddictedFishing]

Sounds like a plan!

[@jasonbubley9427]

Great tip

[@oznobdr]

Thanks!

[@mayangkho8176]

Thanks it helps a lot especially I'm a beginner! I just had one question what number of the hook do I need to use for freshwater fishing? Can you give me more ideas! Please, thanks

[@crochetgirl9429]

Tysm I got it let’s goooo

[@michaeldob2153]

I don't wrap the fishing line around the bobber as showed. It is save enough just to hang the line in the bobberhooks and the other reason is you can very easy adjust the depth

[@javaman5464]

Yeah that's how I do it, but cool to see another method. 👍

[@45degreenorth24]

Killer video . Would you guys do one on when you should bobber fish over plunk with power bait or marshmallows on the bottom.

[@AddictedFishing]

Yep, lots more trout videos coming. Thanks for watching!

[@FAMILYFUN-un1zm]

Nice video! Loved seeing how easy that knot was tied, I am new and knots have been a struggle. What size is the hook?

[@anthonybarker9019]

8 or 10 size hooks work great

[@wheetypeedy]

Thank you. Now i know why there are barbs on,the hooks.

[@maverickgameslive6226]

Thanks

[@evanelev3n257]

I was fishing on a lake with my dad and this dude didn’t know how to put a worm on the hook so we said “first of all you have to split the worm in half. (night crawlers)” and he asked if we had a knife so my dad said give it to me and split the worm in half with his hands and the dude said whoa that’s hardcore

[@fermincamarena4341]

Thanks E! I am disabled with one arm. I think I could manage your setup, trouts season opens up Nov. I'll be ready to catch and release some trout. Determine Fermin.

[@watchcloak]

Lol was the guy like 9 years old

[@evanelev3n257]

Randyhall85 mid 30s

[@tombeckett4340]

That little gold thing is a hook on your bobber top and bottom just to be clear. My little guy watch your video and told me that and I told him he was right. FYI. Thanks just a tip from a little guy. 🇨🇦👍

[@shreenathfishing423]

Nice sir

[@16snowboarder]

You guy's should show how to rig up a water bobber and fly set up. It is super effective for trout and other pan fish as well.

[@AddictedFishing]

Coming soon!!

[@TweezyXx707]

Would this setup work for river fishing as well? Sorry for the stupid question I'm still learning.

[@samshawket6241]

Nice

[@mozwald1]

can you add a split swivel to the top of the bobber and a pre tied section of line to the bottom with the hook and weight?

[@rmck8757]

Caught my first fish, rainbow trout, been doing this one month and don't know all the stuff to do with lines and weights. But I will never look back as got a family friend teacher now. That first fucking fish man.....

[@benandres9627]

What part of the water column do you target with this? What type of water does this work best for? If it’s very deep will this perform poorly?

[@mobiledgamer]

Everybody gangster till sunfish comes

[@schuylerhecht8253]

LOL! dude ever hear of a blue fox's vibrax? I am however going to try and rig that live worm on an off set hook like i do on a texas rig.. this is like a Texas/Carolina hybrid..I'm definitely gonna give it a go.

[@dude999642]

Does the P-line fluorocarbon line FLOAT? If not, then you'd want to use mono or ideally braid.

[@roycelarson6337]

How does one handle the reel/pole? Do you just sit and wait or do you move the assembly once in a while and/or constantly? What is the fishing technique?

[@keeganjacobs5913]

How long does the worm survive and move around for if taking off half of it? Also what size hook is that? Thank you and great video

[@brandongaither5811]

Was cute, need the comedy, great video thou....... now i know what bear back is... #addictive

[@Jeff-ug4pi]

When using the bobber method above do u want the wait to rest on the bottom of the lake?

[@1tabascosauce]

I’ve seen my buddy catch steelhead, coho and chinook drifting night crawlers. It drives me crazy.

[@zachshefelbine2299]

I caught a 23 1/2 inch brown drifting a nightcrawler. My favorite bait for trout, especially in streams.

[@melvinhuff1588]

I fish in West Virginia I like using meal worms for trout fishing streams

[@guyh.4553]

Good video. Used this method all my life. Couple of recommendations... 1) Use removable split-shot instead; easier to adjust your depth/weight needs. 2) I've used Eagle Claw hooks all my life, never missed with them. 3) You don't always need a bobber, especially in windy conditions. You do equally as well. Fish on sir!

[@declanhenderson433]

whats the setup without the bobber
