Big worms are deadly for me late in the summer! I mostly fish it on a standard worm hook with a 1/8-1/4oz weight...super light. And often times I'll get on the water before daybreak when there is no wind at all. I'll fish the worm weightless. Let it hit the bottom and rest for 5-10 seconds....lift the rod slowly to 11 o' clock...let it fall...repeat. DEADLY! Big worms have been a great bait for me up until fall when the water really begins to cool. Then I like to fish vibe worms with a heavier weight on a relatively fast swim retrieve.  

Has anyone tried the new Z-man GIANT TRD worms?  I saw some in the store and they almost look abnormally big.  Plus I think you'd have a hard time finding a mushroom head jig big enough for them.

Haven’t used em but zman actually makes their own jig for the Giant Trd. They’re called Mag Shroomz and come in 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8 oz with a 6/0 hook. 4.99 for a 3pk doesn’t seem terrible either. I figured they’d be even more expensive when I went to check the price on TW. 
 

 

I usually t-rig them and work them very slow
