Title: 10" worms
Post by: bassassasin88 on August 20, 2008, 05:34:27 AM
Has anyone had any luck throwig 10" worms in michigan? I have been thinking of picking up some powerworms and big show paddle tail worms. Seems like they would be good on offshore structure with it being summer and all. Maybe texas rigged with about a 3/8 ounce tungsten sinker. Just looking for opinions. Thanks.

I have a brother-in-law who was recently on a little lake up north and threw a ten inch worm and caught bass. He said even the little ones were hitting it.

a 10" power or zoom old monster has been one of my goto baits this season on inland lakes. It has not been a numbers bait, but has produced some quality fish as well as 14" ers.

10" worms have been working great for me this year. As thedude said, they are not a numbers bait but have been responsible for some nice fish this year. I have even seen some guys combine two worms to get a 12-14" worm and have pretty good success on the deep weed beds.

I mostly fish docks ,but when I do fish the deep stuff , I like a 10" Power-bait motor-oil with red flake or june-bug worm, texas-rigged . Seems to work better right on a drop off as opposed to in the weeds , could just be me though .

My partner last year and I wont three out of six tourneys solely with a Yum 10" worm, plus a Big Bass pot. Have not done so well this season for some reason but it is still a go-to bait for summer fishing.

I fished a 10.5" old monster two weeks ago hoping to get a big fish bite. My first 2 fish were 5 and 6 (inchers)! Hard to believe a 5" fish would hit an 10.5" worm! My next fish was 5lb-4oz so that made up for things...
