My nameâs Bud Pruitt, Iâm from Spring, Texas, Iâm part of the Yamaha Pro Staff. Another technique I really am fond of, and itâs really gotten popularity over the last 5 years, is wacky worming. Itâs kind of a finesse power bait, you can catch them as big as they get and you can catch some numbers on this bait. Itâs really a great spawn, post-spawn, technique.
I like to fish it on 10 pound line, 3 straight chain, mustad style hook. Any sort of straight worm will do. You hook it in the egg sack, put a little nail on the head, and you can fish it so many different ways. Just, itâs so versatile and itâs really a fish magnet, when the fish especially come off the beds, and theyâre in that post-spawn attitude and theyâre really not wanting to chase the bait around.
I think wacky worm has got to be the biggest secret that I know of to catch those kind of fish that typically wonât chase a spinner bait or something like that.
