How to Fish Worm Rigs

Without pure luck, it's nearly impossible to catch a fish just putting a worm on a hook and dropping it in the water. Gang hooks allow you to stretch the worm out in a natural manner instead of balling it up. Learn how to fish a worm rig and catch more fish than you ever thought possible.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Attach a barrel swivel to the end of your fishing line. Use a small one, such as a size 10 or 12.

2. Secure a gang hook to the end of the barrel swivel. A gang hook is 2 hooks tied in tandem. You can either tie your own or purchase them pre-tied.

3. Put on a split shot sinker to add weight to your line. If you're fishing in a river or stream, this is necessary so the worm can bounce off the bottom as it drifts downstream.

4. Add the live worm to your gang hooks. If you are using night crawlers you can fold them in half and attach them to the gang hook.

5. Cast your worm rig. Allow the worm to slowly sink to the bottom and float downstream in a natural motion to attract the fish.

Tips & Warnings

• This method works well when fishing with young children. Using gang hooks lets you bait twice as many worms so you won't have to bait their hooks as often. This frees you to concentrate on your own fishing.
