If You Like To Use Live Worms For Bait, Then You Need To Read This

If you like to use live worms as bait (and a lot of anglers seem to) there are a few simple things that can make you much more successful. Many anglers never consider that there could be better and more effective ways to fish with live worms, but there are. Those two things are efficiency and presentation. These may sound strange, but I'll explain both in detail in this article. You don't have to fish with live worms in the same manner that six year olds do, these simple and effective things will increase your catch rates dramatically.

• Efficiency - being efficient as a worm fisherman is of the utmost importance. Why? Because the more time that can be spent with our lines in the water (where the fish are) the better. We want to maximize the time that we get to fish. One of the best ways to maximize your time while worm fishing is to employ a bait bag. A bait bag carries your live worms while fishing, thus making baiting up simple and easy. With a bait bag you always know exactly where your worms are, and they are always "at your fingertips" waiting to be used. With the help of a bait bag baiting and re-baiting literally take seconds! Another great way to be more efficient and save time is too employ a couple of retractors to hold your lightweight fishing gear. Retractors can be a huge time saver as well.



• Presentation - What do I mean by presentation? Simply, that a live worm should look like a live worm in the water. It shouldn't look like a "worm ball", which is what happens when a live worm is "threaded" onto a single hook. A live worm should look like a live worm, and the way to accomplish this is a set of gang hooks. Gang hooks enable live worms to be presented outstretched and naturally, the way God intended. I realize that most anglers have always "threaded" their live worms onto their hook, but that doesn't mean it's the most effective way to do it. Larger and more experienced fish won't bite something that doesn't look like it appears in nature, and gang hooks help alleviate this problem.

These two simple, yet amazingly effective tips will help any angler catch more fish while fishing with live worms, there's no doubt about it. I've personally been using both of the tips mentioned in this article for more than fifteen years, and have experienced incredible success. I personally can't imagine live worm angling without either my bait bag or gang hooks. They are both as much a part of my fishing gear as my rod and reel are.
