What Do You Do With Your Big Worms In The Winter?

Featured Replies

Well, what do you with your big worms in the winter? I know a lot of guys who put up the big worms in the winter. I also know a lot of old guys that just about always through a big worm, no matter what season it is. So what about you? What do you do with them?

What's a big worm to you? I'll fish a 10" culprit ribbon tail or something along those lines, but I'm not gonna be throwing a big 12" Manna jelly worm or something...

Big worm......um I have 1 bag of 7" worms. Think I've fished them once, just not the most productive bait where I fish normally.  But you could probably use them and just fish them really slow.  I mean people us big jigs, why not a big worm.

My winter fishing aint about lure size, it's about slow!

7" worm is my normal & I rarely go smaller ;)

I put mine up once the water gets in the 50's.

Big worms seem to be a better warm weather bait around here, too.

one of my best baits this past year was a 9" netbait super tmac worm (green pumpkin).  i bought some 7" as well to try now that it's colder.  the warmer weather certainly suits me better for the bigger worms.

this time of year though, i opt for a jig (finesse or football) over the worm anyways.

I still throw a Zoom Ol Monster in the winter months when I'm using a c-rig on the bottom of the pond, or veeery slowly swimming it over deep weeds at the bottom of a steep bank. I figure the thumping action of the tail still works well, and even if it gets bogged down in the weeds there is still some of the worm sticking out above the weeds. When I swim it I use a keel weighted hook like you would use for a fluke and just try to hit the top of the weeds or brush or whatever. Granted I live in south Carolina so winter here is like spring in the places it really gets cold.

So do you throw your big worms or not? Op was asking whether or not you threw worms through the winter, not how you store them during the winter months.
