What I Wish Someone Would Have TOLD ME About Fishing a SPEED WORM

[@carlsutherland3730]

You earned my subscribe with the blessed day at the end. God bless you too!

[@daveversion2.2]

Just used first speed worm yesterday and caught a nice largemouth bass on it even weightless! Need to learn more….thx dude!

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Thanks Jonathan!! Awesome instructional video!! Very well put together and I learned a lot from it. Looking forward to putting it to use here in PA. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

[@JD_Fishing]

Thanks again! I hope it puts some giants in the boat for you! God bless!

[@ageshart4523]

Great job very detailed information and it is easy to follow.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Same thing with a curly tail crappie jig tail always down.

[@maxcole3930]

I've always rigged the cut tail worms opposite, with cut facing up & haven't had my baits spinning or twisting my line. My thought process was if I'm dragging or hoping it on bottom the tail will still thump. If it's facing down I figured the bottom or grass would causey tail to thump less. Zmans swimming worms are awesome too, it has more of a swimbait tail though & a lot bigger profile.

Fattyz 👍🏻

[@carlsutherland3730]

Yeah, me too. I use a magnum speed worm/cut tail worm without a weight to mimic buzz bait.

Thanks for sharing. I'm about to make my 1st bass fishing trip to Florida. Video definitely helped me understand speed worms.

[@gregorywhite6830]

Good video with very helpful information. I will save it for future reference. Thank you and have great success in this year's BASS Classic Tournament.

[@JD_Fishing]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@matthall8378]

Grabbed a pack for my river in Ohio but notice people talk about grass alot. I'm just gonna toss to laydowns and rock. I have zero grass. Hope it still works! Thanks for the tips!

What are your thoughts on tying on a 30lb braid leader to a spool with say, 20lb flouro main line? As an option for fishing lily pads if you don't have a reel spooled up with 30lb braid. Is fluoro to braid a thing or is that stupid? Again, this is if you're in a pinch and don't have a straight braid setup handy. I fish out of a kayak, so I have a limit to how many rods I can bring with me.

[@spaceman61]

Kickass!

[@af4od02]

I enjoy fishing the speed worm just like you rigged in highland rocky clear water reservoirs. Many bass will attack it.

[@garysanderford1572]

I have caught more fish in NC rivers on the speed worn than any bait I have used and I fish it like top water bait.

[@RocketDaryl]

Hi Jonathan, why not run it weightless on mono in shallow water? I LOVE speed worms, but I run them weightless on a 7'3" heavy power, fast action rod on 15# mono on a 7.2:1 reel. I have pretty good luck with that setup. Am I messing this up?

[@dirtdobbervideo3909]

That’s how I fish em too. I treat my speed worms similarly to a senko. Weightless on light braid or hybrid Yozuri

[@JD_Fishing]

Hey if it’s working don’t mess with it! I don’t like fishing mine on mono personally but everyone is different! That’s one of the beautiful things about fishing is that there really is no wrong way if it works!

[@raytubach8988]

Thanks Jonathan

[@JD_Fishing]

Anytime!

[@davidmccartney7577]

Another L-hand retrieve fisherman 🤓 Not very many of us use them but. It just makes sense 🎣 Rod stays in the strong hand and you get more fish on the drop instead of missing fish while switching hand😎🇺🇸

[@Flopseee]

I want that hoodie

[@josephference6996]

Great video

[@JD_Fishing]

Thank you!

[@ryanwilcox8866]

Do you feel like ppl in Texas fish this a lot just like Florida?

[@charliepalmer2465]

do you ever use it weightless ?

[@JD_Fishing]

I do! when the grass is shallower it works alot like a swimbait that you can kill and get alot of bites letting it sink

[@206_FISHING]

I just started fishing this setup and noticed when retrieving the bait it likes to rolls.

[@JD_Fishing]

Then the worm wasn’t rigged with the cut perfectly down, it can be a pain sometimes but that cut has to be perfectly straight down

[@seanjohnson8747]

What is the best color for Florida again

[@JD_Fishing]

It’s hard to beat a June bug or a black and blue

[@davidmccartney7577]

Pumpkin 😎

[@johnhelems721]

Water melon red works great on worm or fluke

[@barryhowell9]

I’m in Broward County in Southeast Fla, love the ultra-vibe speed worm, as well as the Cut-R worm, but that #zmanturbofattyZ is a game changer in green pumpkin red. It gets absolutely smoked! Thanks for the content, and God Bless! Tight lines to ya 🎣

[@JD_Fishing]

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a staple in your area! God bless!

[@TonyLain]

Said rod “MH” but rod shown was “H”…?

[@davidmccartney7577]

I have one similar that I use two red glass beads for the sinker unpegged. It works quite well. ZMAN FattyZ
