How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **Underwater Footage Of Dropshot, Ned Rig, And Texas Rigs**

Do you want to catch bass? Come underwater with us! Let's study bass behavior and learn about different lures at the same time! Watch how bass react to a dropshot, ned rig, and Texas rig, as well as how the baits behave with different rigging. These are the details you need to know to catch more fish!

We learn a ton about bass behavior when we go underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. Pay close attention to Matt's tips on bait rigging, jig head weight, and lure selection. 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.

Underwater Dropshot Footage! Best Dropshot Worms For Bass Fishing!

Let's head underwater to watch how different plastic worms move, and which baits the fish attack! With hundreds of drop shot baits on the market, its almost impossible to know which baits to try first. Luckily, we've done the hard part for you and compiled a list of our favorite baits. Our selections are backed by underwater bite footage, underwater action shots, and years of traveling the country testing the baits in different lakes and environments. 

When selecting the right worm or bait for a dropshot there are some variables to consider. Which species of bass are you targeting? Is the water warm or cold? Are there a lot of small baitfish (minnows) present in the area? If you can answer these questions we can easily help you choose the right baits for your situation. Once you've chose the right baits, it comes down to color. Color selection can be incredibly intimidating but often times simple is best. If you have a green pumpkin, a purple, and a natural baitfish color, you can meet almost any situation you'll face on any lake in the country. 

Below you'll find links to all the baits Tim discussed in the video. We've separated them by intended species and style. We've also included our favorite colors for each, as well as the rods and reels we use when we're out dropshotting. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
