How To Fish A Wacky Worm
Wacky worms work well for largemouth and smallmouth bass. To rig this bait, hook the worm in the center. It is now a wacky worm. Most anglers prefer to use pencil-shaped (straight) worms when fishing wacky, but you can be creative and try other worms as well.
The pencil-shaped worms do imitate a live worm well by forming a U-shape as the bait gets pulled through the water and then dropped back down with a pause. This realistic movement drives bass wild.
You can fish a wacky worm with no weight to try a free-falling presentation. You can also fish with a split shot above your hook, a carolina rig or a drop shot.
Drop-shotting wacky worms can put tons of bass in the boat if done correctly. Once you find bass, get your wacky worm in the area, let it drop to the bottom, then just shake the worm. With a heavy enough weight, you can keep the worm in the same spot, but you can shake it enough to give it a realistic movement, which will draw many strikes from mr. bass.
