How To Catch Bass With Plastic Worms! **INSANE UNDERWATER FOOTAGE**
Спорт
Want to become a better fisherman? There is no better way than to head underwater and study bass behavior! Come along as Matt teaches how to get the most out of plastic worms while studying footage of actual bass eating a ned rig, dropshot, shaky head, and texas rig!
We learn a ton about bass behavior when we head underwater, but we also learn about the lures we're using. From above, a ned rig doesn't look like much but when it hits the bottom it comes to life, and its obvious bass can't resist them! Did you see any stand out baits in today's video? Perhaps it was the way that Smallie Smasher shakes at even the lightest touch on a dropshot, or the way the shaky head sways on its way to the bottom.
Below you'll find links to some of our favorite baits from each category. We've included our best colors and rigging components for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

When I was 8-9 years old my dad taught me how to fish a plastic worm, he made me count 12 seconds between twitches, and those twitches were 2-3 very light taps....amazing how many bass I caught using that technique throughout my life, and crazy how few were caught going any faster.

Fish it that slow huh… that’s crazy.. how many casts to you do a minute then? Wouldn’t it be hard to cover any water?

@@acuailtrash7320 well, get your bait out into an area that you think the fish are at, work it slow there and if you feel it is out of the area of the fish, just reel in and re-cast. But if you're unsure of the structure and cover at a lake you may be better off with few casts and working slowly all the way in to get a feel for the body of water.

Thank you for being so helpful in the first two years of my bass journey. Thanks Matt.
Thanks Matt. Covering the basics keeps the mind in the game. There were some good lessons mixed in and I needed to hear them again.
I love your videos! My wife and I just got into freshwater fishing and your videos are great! The way you take the time to explain and show the short video clips are awesome
Bro I promise you, I’ve been watching every soft plastics for beginners video on KZread possible, but this is THE best one I’ve seen so far. Great great vid
Matt, I don't think we thank you and Tim enough!!!!!! Love you guys all way in Cincinnati! Been a subscriber sense like 2015 or 14 I think was 14. I'm 56 years old, been fishing my whole life, grew up with a tributary of Ohio River right in front of my house,( really like 1/4 mile away), so I been in front of water with large mouth, smallies ,and alot spots! Rivers full of spots! I mean spotted bass, not fishing spots lol. But just wanted to say thank you to both of you big time. Like I said been bass fishing along time, but you guys are great at like this video at slowing down, what I got the most today, slow down when worm fishing, because we will get going to fast all time trying cover water. So ty for all you guys do, love product videos, rods, reels, baits, you guys figured it out early in you tube, and it's been a good ride!!!!!!! Ty and GOD bless you and your family's!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate your skills and willingness to share. I’ve been a fly fisherman for years and just started bass fishing seriously. Because of you all, my PB is now 7 1/2 ILBS. Thank you sirs

Great video for us new to bass fishing. Nicely done. Very helpful. Thank you.
Probably the best video I've seen on how to work plastic worms. Thank you. Always able to learn something new when fishing.
You, sir, did amazing job at explaining how and what to do. Simple and clear. Thank you!
We enjoy watching you a lot. You are a great ambassador to fishing. Thank you.
Great video! You guys are incredible with the amount of information you give anglers!
I fish all my plastics super slow. My catch rate is pretty high really. My slogan is “little bit, let it sit”. Another thing to think about…Watch the tip of your pole when you move it. We think we are moving the bait a little because of our hand movement. Yet, the tip of the pole is moving 3-4’(or more). Try moving the tip of your pole 1-2’ instead. This is more of a finesse approach and is a super deadly.
Very informational and detailed explanations with live footages. Thank you.
seriously, ive been trying to learn new tricks by watching videos but this is the best explanation so far which includes info on the best baits for various types of beds! Liked and subscribed!
Just started trying the drop shot in December because I was too impatient years before..second cast 4lb 10 oz LM..needless to say stays on the spinning rod now.
I have been going down a rabbit hole for bass fishing. Thanks for the information. While I have fished in the past, at 57 years young, I am a noob. I was in a shop today and there was a lady there. She seemed to know what she was talking about. I have learned that you just need to ask someone with experience for advice. I told here my situation with fishing and she said "You need to learn to rig a Texas Rig." She then proceeded to pick out everything I needed to make them. She recommended using bobber stoppers but this place didn't have any. We didn't discuss how to use it but your video explains that. Anyways, I am looking forward to trying the Texas Rig out this weekend at the lake. Thanks again.
I just learned so much! I typically have only ever used a mouse or spinner bait for large mouth, but now you've got me thinking differently. Thank you so much.
Thanks for all the bass fishing wisdom yall share!!
Matt,tim,...thank you,thank you. I can't say it enough you guys have shared your knowledge and made me and many others better angler's , great job keep it up 😁
I am so glad I found your videos, love your educational fishing tips, keep up the good work
I love the way your elaborated on every detail, thank you so much for the tips and information. Much appreciated 🙏, fish on
I don't really comment on videos. I Just want you to know that I appreciate these videos. I have learned so much in the couple of years that I have been watching you. I have really improved as an angler and have even been able to teach others. I make sure to use your links in all of my TW orders. Thank you so much. -Kyle
Thanks Matt looking forward to warmer weather and longer day. Cheers to 2022
This is a great video. I especially enjoyed your explanation of why you like a really light weight hook for dropshotting. I never thought about the weight of the hook in that way. I really learned something.
Good job Man! Phenomenal information. Well appreciated. 👍
incredibly informative. gifted communicator!
Awesome information and delivery. Keep up the good work.
Great video, I'm subscribed and excited to go through all your vids now. Thanks for saving me years!
Matt is great at showing and how to do to catch bass 👍🏻
Told a friend at work I was havin an issue with a certain rig type and he directed me to this channel. Absolutely thankful he did lol.
I’m completely shook by how much content you’ve made, there’s a completely immeasurable amount of content, would take me weeks just to count your videos 😳😳😳
Great video!! I've never caught anything on any kind of soft plastic, mainly because I struggle with the patience side of the process, but it is one of my goals and videos like this always give me the confidence to keep trying. Keep up the good work guys!!

Thanks for the advice. Very helpful for me as a newbie.
REALLY helpful primer! Video of fish taking the lures was powerful proof.
I love this video. My 9yo son just got bit by fishing…so this dad is trying to soak in the complexities of this sport so he can catch fish and have fun and not be discouraged. My favorite thing to say is, doesn’t matter if we catch fish, we are spending time with each other. He just bought his first rod and real, I bought him his first couple but he ponied up his own money to buy one himself. That’s commitment!
Very good. I am not experienced and you made it very clear/easy. Thanks
Thanks a bunch your tips helped me catch more bass.much appreciated
Super good info. Thanks
Hey Matt I’m And Old school guy bass fishing sense the 60s I love watching you guys info videos it helps keep me up to date with new ways and ideas Keep Up the good work
I been a fan of you and Tim for many years. I learned so much useful info.. I thank you two it's always exicting to hear what you guys have to say.. great video Matt
One of my goals for this year is to get better and more confident in fishing soft plastics. Thank you for sharing these tips. Hoping for a couple big ones in 2022!
Great advice, thanks.
Well done matt,simple knowledge
This has been an very informative video about the methods of using different plastics baits! I've just taken up fishing and I've watched a lot of videos from different people onhow to fish. However the underwater footage of how the baits are being used and how the fish react to them is mcu more educational . It all becomes clear now why fishing slowly and methodically is more successful.
Bro you guys are a different level thanks for all your hard work with these tips. You guys are awesome man
I love the underwater vids! Very helpful!
Very good lesson thanks so much
Excellent video. Thank you from a new bass fisherman
That bass is a paid actor
Fantastic video brother. I've been fishing for years, and still do several times a week but I still continue to learn more and more especially with excellent content like this. 🙏🤘❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great vid, really helped me out with all the different methods. Especially the shots of how they bite the worms.
thank you Matt and Tim!
Haven’t been fishing in over 10 years and just started going out there again teaching my kid thank you for the refresher best one out there
Thanks for sharing. Excellent tips
Awesome video bud, great content, keep it coming!
Plastic worms are my hands down favorite way to fish for bass!! They flat out produce from January thru December!! I’ll always keep ‘em close by!
Super helpful video with the visualizations. Looking forward to putting it into practice this Spring.

Thank you Matt for an excellent presentation and accompanying video. The video footage reinforces your instruction to fish slowly. I’m getting better. My recent installation of a PowerGuide motor with spot lock has assisted me greatly. Now I can concentrate on fishing instead of fighting the wind and current. Please provide more excellent presentations like this as your valuable time permits. BTW. Did you provide an update on your new family addition?
Love tutorials for fishing. Love this channel.
Thank you for your input
Excellent video!! These guys know their stuff!!!
Thank you for the reminder! I get into these funks of no fish in multiple fishing trips and that is true we as bass fisherman get into the mindset that we have to jump baits and twitch extra to get a reaction bite but you are right! thanks for the great video, "AS ALWAYS"!!!!
This is so valuable, thank you so much.
Great style instructions, w awesome video quality!!!
