How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! ** Amazing Underwater Footage **

Want to become a better fisherman? There is no better way than to head underwater and study bass behavior! Come along as Tim teaches how to get the most out of plastic worms while studying actual underwater footage of bass eating ned rigs and dropshot worms.

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. Pay close attention to Tim's tips on hook weight and how much action to give your worm, based on the water temp and season you're fishing. Also, you'll notice in the underwater shots that no two baits are created equal so focus your attention on baits with neutral buoyancy and consistent action.

Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors, as well as our preferred rigging components. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Shakey Head Worms - Tricks To Catch More Fish!! ( Underwater Footage!! )

Most anglers have a few heads and a favorite worm or two but never realize just how effective this technique can be.

How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **AMAZING UNDERWATER FOOTAGE**

Let's head underwater to watch bass eating ned rigs and dropshot worms! Want to become a better angler? Come along as we study this amazing underwater footage of fish behavior while Tim teaches the differences in presentations and how you can use them to match different bass behaviors!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. From above, ned worms and dropshot worms don't look like much but there are huge differences between the different worms when you get them below the surface. Some days a ned will out fish a dropshot and other days it won't, but you've probably never considered that how the bass are positioning in different weather conditions can dictate that outcome. That is just one small take away from this underwater bass footage. 

Below you'll find links to the different baits in the video. We've included the exact colors you're seeing, as well as our favorite rigging components and equipment. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
