I brought out a few plastics and was wondering ways to maximize efficiency when fishing them.

-----------------------------

 

 

What would be best to use with these jigs? I found them in my dads tacklebox and he never uses them anymore, they look like they could be pretty killer.

 

------------------------------

 

I got these in an MTB/LTB once and I haven't used them yet. Where and what's the best way to fish these?

 

------------------------------

 

I found this attached to a lure at the river once. I haven't used swivels before....is this worth using and what type of baits are good to use with?

 

-------------------------------

 

 

I found this as well, what kinda' hook should I use on this--where should I use it and should I just crawl it along the bottom?

 

 

ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING, I'M LITERALLY BEGGING FOR HELP WITH EVERYTHING.

 

Plus side is, I won't be asking anymore help questions after these because I'm just trying to get better. 

There is a lot to go over here but I will try to help.  The worms can be fished just anytime but summer is when worm fishing gets good and they can be rigged Texas style with or without a weight or on a shaky head.  The small blue jigs you have, well the one with the wire weed guard is for putting inside a tube, just search you tube with the phrase " rigging a tube with weedless jig head. The small round ball with the barb can be used to fish grubs or other soft plastics but the end ones, well the one is a round head with no collar, they are often called steel head jigs when used with a heavy hook and are meant to be tied with marabou, you can use it for soft plastics but you will also need some super glue to hold it on as there isn't a barb to help with that. The other end is a shad dart, these are meant to have a dressing tied on like hacle feathers but the small sizes are often used with trout magnets, these are used in bass fishing too much. Swivels like the one pictured are often used for in-line spinners as they tend to twist line, spinning gear is very susceptible to line twist but I can't tell you if it will help you or not because you have to use the right size swivel for the lure type and line type, for example you aren't going to use a size 10 or 12 swivel with 17lb line and while they can help with line twist on a spinning rod they really don't help me with casting gear, I prefer to either tie direct of use a duo-lock snap. The Castaic baits look to be soft plastic jerkbaits, you can fish these on a scrounger head, a plain jig head, nose hooked, or Texas rigged weightless, there are just a lot of ways to use it, look that bait up on you tube and see if there is a video of them being used. The same deal for the lizard, fish it on a Carolina rig or Texas rigged and either drag it, crawl it, hop it or swim it, no real wrong way to fish it. I hope this will help but it is a lot of questions at one time. 

I appreciate that more than anything man! 

smalljaw covered it pretty good..  

 

that yellow curly tail worm is my go to bait rigged texas style without a weight.  about the swivel. i dont use them. if you do make sure you dont use one too small like i did. it broke as i pulled the fish out of the water and off she went with my nice new lure.   swivels are good for fast changing lures and line twist.  although most people tie direct to lure as it gives more of a natural swim or walk, plus swivels will catch on to weeds and get you stuck.
