More than 20 years ago I had the pleasure of knowing and learning from the best worm fisherman that I’ve personally ever known. I’m not referring to multi colored pieces of plastic either, I’m referring to what Hank Hill refers to as ‘The good old American worm’. That’s right, I’m referring to live worms, the kind that live in the dirt. Many people mcm backpacks for sale think that simply attempting to thread a worm onto a hook constitutes ‘worm fishing’, but I beg to differ. The man who taught me these secrets, JRW, would beg to differ as well.
It’s not that fishing with live worms is rocket science, it’s simply that there are some very simple aspects that most anglers tend to overlook. These things that often get overlooked, are what this article is about. The following are the 3 great worm fishing secrets that I’m referring to. Begin employing one or all of them sooner, rather than later and you mcm phone case can watch your catch rates skyrocket. Actually, I probably shouldn’t say “catch rates”, I should say “bite rates”, because these secrets will get you more bites, but the “catching” is up to you. In any case, here are the 3 great worm fishing secrets:
- Always use Gang Hooks – Since being introduced to gang hooks more than 20 years ago, I’ve fished with them. As a matter of fact, I can’t imagine fishing with live worms without using gang hooks. Gang hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied in tandem that enable live worms to be presented in a completely natural manner. This makes a mcm iphone 7 case huge difference in the number of bites that you get. All fish are much more likely to bite a worm that looks like a worm, outstretched and natural, rather than all “balled up” on a single hook. Having pre-tied gang hooks with you while fishing is a great worm fishing tip.
- Use A Bait Bag – What’s a bait bag? A bait bag is simply a small bag that hangs off of your fishing vest or shirt and carries your worms while fishing. The amount of time this saves you is amazing. That’s right with the help of A Bait Bag you will never have to fumble around for your worms again. They will always be hanging right in the bait bag, waiting to be used. You can make a bait bag yourself or buy one ready to use, but you should begin using one sooner rather than later, I promise you that.
- Monitor The Weather & Moon – Now you might be asking yourself, “What does this have to do with worm fishing?”, but I promise you it has a lot to do with worm fishing. Not just worm fishing, but all fishing. The weather and moon probably impact your fishing success more than what type of bait or presentation you choose to use while fishing. That’s why spending a little time educating yourself about the weather and moon can impact your worm fishing success so much. To get the basics, which is all you really need to know, simply get this FREE Report. Monitor the weather and moon and your fishing success will increase, there’s no doubt about it.
At the end of the day, these 3 worm fishing secrets will make you a much better worm angler. Why am I so sure of this? Because I personally use all of them and know they work. JRW was the greatest worm angler I’ve ever known, and will always be grateful that I had the pleasure to know and learn from him. Now you have had the opportunity to learn a littler from him as well.
