Tips On Fishing
The Plastic Worm
I can remember when I
was a teenager and used
to ride my bike to the
nearest tackle shop to
await the arrival of a
shipment of Uncle Josh
Black Magic Pork Rind
Eel. These black strips of
hog hide were the
predecessors of our
modern plasfic worms.
When these Black Magic
Eels first came out and
bass fishermen learned
how deadly fhey were,
tackle shops couldn't
keep them in stock.
Then some enterprising
type discovered how to
make a worm out of
plasfic and bass fishing
has never been quite the
same.
The variety of plastic
worms on the market
today is enough to con
fuse a computer. They
come in all colors,
flavors, shapes and sizes.
You can get grape
flavored worms,
strawberry flavored and
even blackberry. You can
get hollow worms, worms
that sink and worms that
float.
With such a wide
variety of choices it is
understandable why
fishermen get confused
about which worm is
best. Under certain
conditions, such as
amount of light, turbidity
of water and the depth at
which you are fishing,
one color worm will
produce better than
others. Experimentation
is about the best way I
know of to find out which
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL THURS., APR 20, 1978,
color works best under
any given situation.
Much more important
than which worm you fish
with is how you fish it!
Last summer I par
ticipated in a test that
was conducted by the
Berkley Line Company. A
group of outdoor writers
were asked to cast a
plastic worm toward a
skin diver on the bottom
of the lake. As we
retrieved the worm, the
diver would gently pick it
up and then drop it again.
This was to simulate a
bass engulfing the worm
and after a second or two,
spitting it out. Many of
the pickups, nearly half,
went undetected!
Anytime you are
fishing plastic worms,
you must be super alert if

you want to detect gentle
pickups. Underwater
observation of feeding
bass indicates most
strikes of this type go
unnoticed by the
fisherman.
Another time to be
super alert is when your
worm is sinking towards
the bottom right after
your cast. Any strange
behavior when the worm
is sinking, even if you
don't feel a strike, should
be answered quickly by
setting the hook-hard!
Many anglers who fish
the plastic worm, fail to
hook bass on a large
percentage of their
strikes. The most com
mon reasons I suspect
are failing to set the hook
hard enough, not getting
all of the slack out of the
line before setting the
hook and using a rod that
is too limber and lacks
the spine necessary to
drive a hook through a
plastic worm and into a
bass's jaw.
