Jigheads for plastic worms - KyBasser - 11-27-2001
I live near the Kentucky lake region so I get to spend a lot of time on the lake. I am still in the learning process of becoming a better angler. I am also new to using plastic worms, so my question is what size jig head would I need for a 4-6 inch worm, and is it an effective method of fishing a plastic worm besides the other types of rigs? Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br><br>Justin<br><br><br>

I fish almost exclusively in the salt but I don't hesitate to use a jig & worm setup & this past season I started folling around with jig&live seaworm rig & it is deadly...especially when they fish aren't especially aggressive...really turns them on...<br><br>Jerry Vovcsko<br>Moderator: Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island Forums<br>

Jig head or rig choices can also depend on what species your hunting.<br><br>Are you after Bass or other fish? Water depth?<br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Mod-Lures/Baits & Oz Boards<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>

I would be using this for bass fishing, the depth is about 15-20 feet deep. I hope this info helps?<br><br>kybasser<br>"The two best times to fish is when it's rainin' and when it ain't." ~Patrick F. McManus

When fishing with plastic worms I prefer the Texas rig with a 3/8 oz. bullet weight for the depths you are fishing in. Other ways are the Carolina rig with a 1/2 oz. barrel weight and glass beads above a swivel.<br> Don't forget the old standby, Jig and pig, it can be deadly. It may not be as forgiving as a Texas rig, but it may bring the biggest bass of your life to the boat.<br> If you don't mind my asking, do you day or night fish primarily?<br> I have other ideas for night fishing.<br><br><br>

The other option is to use soft plastic worm hooks that have a small weight molded onto the head of the hook and just before the curve in the shaft. <br><br>Overall though, I agree that a good carolina rig is hard to go past if you make the time to rig them up which is easy once learnt. <br><br>Making up weed guards for them is also easier. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Mod-Lures/Baits & Oz Boards<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
