you know all this is you know is the fact that we're throwing a speed worm out here
in the grass and vegetation down south in Louisiana you know and the speed worm set
up you know is a pretty easy deal you know I got a five out super line Gamakatsu hook
25 pound sunline sniper fluorocarbon and then uh you know a little 16th
ounce bullet weights tungsten seat here with a freedom Peg but this is something you're going
to want to throw on a big Rod you know this is a 7-6 lithium Pro Denali you know like I
said 25 pound sunline FC sniper and then a high speed gear ratio really this is Johnny
Morse Platinum but you want one that you can definitely take some line up quick just for
the fact that a lot of times you're making long casts and stuff in the fish grab it and swim to
the side you know you keep all that vegetation and everything but something you can lean on them with
together
no speed worm fish right there well they don't come any prettier than that you know
you know this is probably couldn't be any simpler setup just a zoom Magnum speed worm
and a little 16th ounce bullet weights tungsten Sinker you know 5 Audi WG super line you know a
nice Florida strain Largemouth good looking fish right there a lot of color to him
when you rig this back up you definitely will make it as streamlined as possible because the
fact that we're coming through vegetation and everything you know but what I like to do is
take and push that Sinker I mean right to it I want it tight to it so when you're coming over
pad stems and vegetation it doesn't hesitate it comes over real natural and everything Freedom's
got a brand new little bobber stop here that we've been using and you can see there it's
kind of a torpedo looking bobber stop and what that does is actually slides right down inside
that Sinker it actually holds it up there you know because it's kind of pegged it but
the nice thing about that is everything on this rig right here is streamlined you know
going right through the water nice and neat nice and crisp looks real natural
you know even the finest hair vegetation you know so keep that in mind just those
little simple things really make your day a lot better and get you a lot more bites
you know but here don't be afraid to mix up your retrieve you know we're just winding it
a few times and then killing the bait giving the fish a chance to react you know we're in
the South part of Louisiana you can see today it's cloudy you know a lot of these
fish are Florida strain and as the sun comes out later on today you can probably get more
aggressive with this worm and get them to bite it constantly moving but here this morning you
know we're trying to feed it to them just a little bit so that way they don't uh
you know they don't just have it buzzing over their head and not wanting to bite it
you know the best thing about this worm that I really like is you know this is considered
a keeper down in the South you know without any trouble in a lot of bass tournaments you
know this worm's got a good profile to where it'll catch you limit fillers and it'll catch you a 10
Pounder without breaking a sweat so you know it's a real real versatile worm you know to where uh
you can you can feel confident that you're going to get you know the right kind of bites and a good
mini bites in the same same type tournament deal I'll tell you what one thing that's probably a
misconception about this type of technique you know is that maybe people just think of like
dragging a worm old school and this technique here is not even anywhere remotely close to that you
know this is a power fishing technique you know and you can do it with braid or you can do it with
fluorocarbon you know whichever you choose and which application you know and you know that worms
a nice meaty worm it's got a lot of bulk to it you can use it in gen clear water because it really
doesn't move much other than the cutter tail here or you can use it in tannic water it puts
off enough bulk to where they can still see it you know you can take and throw it right down the edge
of this line and just wind it real slow you know drag it around stop and go or you can throw it
right up or on top of that stuff and just bring it you know full sand bubbling on top and really
getting a lot a lot of different variations you know in one technique you know we're on a brand
new Lake today in south Louisiana that I've never been to and the thing that probably stands out to
me morning anything is the fact that I can get on that garment Troll Motor and just cover water and
whatever I come to throw it around and to change my application of depth in different ways without
having to change my whole setup because I don't want to have a whole bunch of different denial
rods on the deck and so that's something that's really just stands out to me about this whole
concept but you know your Rod you you want to have a good power Rod I mean you can see there
that Rod does not have a lot of bend after about 30 35 percent you know but it's got a nice tip
to where you can kind of wheel this worm around and make a good long cast but yet if you got him
in this vegetation you've got a lot of rod from here to here that's definitely going to be able
to pull him out of the vegetation especially a big fish keep his head up that kind of deal and
then a high gear ratio reel you know it's about a must something in that eight range that a way
you can just go ahead and cover more water wine last not wear yourself out but then when you do
get a fish out here in some vegetation you can keep him coming your way but you know don't
it'll misled by the fact that old school worm dragon is something that you can only do you
know out deep or whatever it might be now you can change your worm and do it that way but in
this application you know it's kind of a it's kind of a meat and potatoes kind of deal that
you can really get down and dirty with them and cover a lot of water and catch a big bag of fish
you can see there when you hit those open holes and try and come through
there you know that tail really really gets to kicking and splashing water you know and
looks really really good you know a fish that's in one of them holes he doesn't have but just a
second to bite that bait I mean just a second and so it's kind of a reaction style bait that
you can get them to react to you know that makes it really really convenient for you because you're
trying to go fast too and then they've got to make up their mind 100 percent to eat right then right
now and so in pressured situation you can get them to react to it a lot better but then if you
get in something like this where this y comes right here together you can kind of see it you
know you can slow it down and just throw it right down the gut and just kind of pulse it along wind
it three or four times these little canals we're in are four or five foot deep in the middle and
then really shallow on the sides and so you just gives you a lot of variation to where you don't
have to pick up a different Rod you know and so that makes it really really nice cover a lot of
water and not have a bunch of stuff on your deck and then keeps me somebody like me from bending
over a whole bunch you know makes it easier on the fishermen at the end of the 10 12 hour day
got it oh boy
big enough bigger
come on girl
no humpback
that's a nice one
