Worms are year-round bait for sure. There are numerous ways to rig a soft plastic worm. Here are some helpful hints to help you with your fishing adventures. 　

- Keep worms separated in your tackle box. Colors will bleed from one worm to another.

- Not getting any bites? Change the color before changing the size.
　- Typically the bigger the worm you use, the bigger the bass.
　- Spray scent on unscented baits for an extra edge.
　- Fish worms slowly and during colder months even slower.

- Use small jerks on the pole for a retrieval technique.
　　　 - Pay attention to your pole movement. If you move it 3 feet the worm is doing the same.
　　　 - When casting allow the line to remain "slack" until it reaches the bottom.
　　　　 - Think you have a bass on the line? Tighten the line slowly to feel and see if there is.
　　　 - When fishing with a weightless worm, pay close attention to your line. You will more often than not see
your line moving before you feel the bass.
　　　 - When setting the hook lower the rod tip, reel in the slack, then jerk the rod upward quickly to set it.
