As the title says!  Something like the Hit Worm. 

 

Will dangling one of these under a bobber work for bass?  Was thinking about hooking this up for the kids who cannot cast all day (and it gets old real fast changing nightcrawlers 24/7 because the kids are missing the hits!).

 

It would be great if I could wacky o ring one of these under a bobber, cast out, and let the kids have fun.

 

But with no action, will anything take it?

Thanks.

 

 

In my opinion you'd be better off rigging up a grub.  Any water action of as we all know kids like to retrieve and cast a lot, will give the curl tale action.  There's a pretty popular bass technique called float n fly that would also work.  

There may be a little bit of action with the subtle

currents in most bodies of water. Though I've not

tried these yet, so I don't know of their bouyancy

or heaviness.

 

In years past we've fished wacky rigs under a float

and had lots of success. So I think it'd be worth a

try, for sure.

Cool thanks.  Yeah I meant to say I'm fishing from shore, so its a camping chair with dead stick for the little guy.  Way less dead stick action than from a boat.

 

So people have had success dead sticking senkos under a bobber from shore?  I have a bunch of YUM Dingers.  Never tried them under a bobber though.  I figured the Maxscent additive would help for deadsticking vs a plain plastic.

We (family) did it at a lake from a dock. As long as you

can cast out to a good spot, it'll work from shore. The 

scent may help a little more.

You might be better off with some Berkley Powerbait pinched crawlers or maggots. I have fished these on a small hook under a float. Panfish love them.

Try the Berkeley hellgrammites.   I use them for the kids under a float  and they catch everything.  Mostly panfish but they get lots of action so the kids don't get board.
