Maze Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Anyone still fish this way with Nightcrawlers or even Plastic worms ? It's always been deadly for me especially with Trout that aren't used to it. I was wondering also if the Berkley Power Naturals worms would thread or if their make up is too soft. I thread my worms just behind the collar and all the way through the tail section. This way, when on the line, only the point of the hook is exposed and the head of the worm moves around enticingly. I would think that a well scented plastic worm that was soft and flexible enough could draw a good number of strikes. It's a good alternative to the typical worm rig that Creme made famous years ago. As always, your thoughts, opinions and experiences are welcomed and requested. Tight lines all, Maze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelcharacter Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I use the threading principle on smaller bait when Panfishing. I usually use an egg sac style salmon hook then thread the Mealworm, Waxworm and even small Redworms on the hook on up the eye and onto the line. Makes for a natural looking presentation. -Reelcharacter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I have a friend who is a diehard Berkley trout worm fan. Threading is the only way he fishes 'em, and he never has any problems. A plug for Berkley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 West Coast steelheader's thread the pink worm, Pardue style. The entire hook is exposed, and rides 2/3 the way down the tail of the worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
