Things You'll Need:
- fishing rod
- reel
- line
- hook
- worm (Canadian or European)
-
Step 1
Take off every piece of extra hardware off your lines. Remove everything metal or plastic: snaps, swivels, weights, bobbers, etc. The only thing you get to keep is a hook and a leader if you wish.
-
Step 2
Next, hook the worm ONCE through the tip of the nose. Now you are ready to fish.
-
Step 3
The reason we hook the work only once is so that it will look it's most natural. It will fall slowly into the water because it's only weight is the hook and the worm. Do not use weighted hooks! If something doesn't grab it before it hits bottom the worm can squirm around naturally and entice the fish to bite. The fish don't see any hardware and they snap them up.
-
Step 4
You don't want to impale the poor worm several times on the hook just to make sure it doesn't come off. That doesn't look very natural to the fish and he isn't going to touch it.
-
Step 5
Yes, you will use and lose a lot of worms but you will also catch more fish than your fellow fisherman as he impales his nightcrawler repeatedly.
-
Step 6
The only drawback with this kind of fishing is that it is not very relaxinig. Every time you let down a worm or cast it out, something hits it within a couple minutes and you have to be ready to set the hook. That's how it worked for me. If there are any fish in the water and they are the least bit hungry you will catch them.
