Gummy Worms

Featured Replies

The other day I bought a pack of 50 gummy worms for a dollar and used them for fishing a relatively large pond (6 acres) and caught 10 bass in an hour and ended with a total of 25 bass in 3 hours. I was using them wacky rigged on a VMC wacky jig head. These things may not produce as many fish as a Senko but they certainly catch fish. With the price I'd rather have 350 gummy worms instead of one pack of Senkos. Who else uses gummy worms for bait?

 

P.S. Sorry if this thread has been made before, if it has I couldn't find it. If this thread has been made please feel free to leave a link to it. Thanks!

You talkin bout the candy???

Awesome.  I always wondered if that would work.

Same here.  I've always said I wanted to try it but I ended up eating all of the gummy worms.

Heavily sugared?  Or plain?  Colors?  C'mon man, give us more details!!!  ha-ha

Don't gummy worms dissolve in water? How long before you are dealing with a slimy mess?

Always thought about using a bunch of them balled up on a circle hook for catfish....but bass...hmmm. I might have to start employing them on t-rigs. ;)

I confess, the super sour are the bait of choice on a full or new moon ( spawn ) they have to be sprinkled with sugar though.. hehe!!

Iv'e used them years ago wacky rigged and from what I remember the action wasn't too good and they started to dissolve . They caught a few bass though.

I used them once fishing, but it is tough unhooking those little kids!

These things are going to win the Classic someday... About the dissolving-these gummy baits of deliciousness catch fish so fast that you'll be hooked on a fish before they even dissolve! Just kidding, they last about 30 casts before they dissolve but you have 49 more in the bag still. I use the regular non-sugarcoated ones in green and yellow colors. I wacky rig, T-Rig, Drop Shot, and use these baits weightless most of the time. To be honest power worms will work better in most cases but for a finesse approach in dark water these work great (for me at least).
