Why Not Try a Big Plastic Worm for Summer Fishing?

Is a Plastic Worm Just for Southern Lakes OR Does It Work in Northern Lakes, too?

Terry Brown is an experienced bass fisherman that likes to share his knowledge and ideas.  You can tell by his enthusiastic and expressive talk that this is one of his passions.  Why use a 10 in. ribbon-tailed worm?  Terry says it is great if you want to catch bigger bass.  Is a plastic worm just for southern lakes?  Or is it little recognized successful bait for northern lakes, too?
Learn about a plum ribbon-tailed worm, 7’ rod and a straight hook for fishing in the summer.  Terry takes plenty of time to explain how to select and rig the weight, hook and plastic worm.

Watch this part carefully since it is the basis for presenting the worm attractively to big bass.  Summer is coming in a couple of months so this video gives good ideas on how to get ready whether you are fishing in deep water in southern, central or northern lakes.

If you ever have had trouble with the line fraying, slipping or breaking at a knot, watch Terry demonstrate tying a San Diego knot.  He has tried many knots and likes this one.  Why does he prefer a 7’ or longer rod?  It is not just for casting.

You will wish you had Terry’s magic in attracting and hooking bass.  Terry wants to take the magic out of it and help everyone be as successful.  Listen to him explain how he uses a split screen to locate a ‘sweet spot’ on a deep ledge or underwater peninsula.  You will like how he talks about learning the bass’ behavior in the spot where you are fishing.

I think I will try a 10’ plastic worm the next time I go fishing in Minnesota!
