Anyone use this technique anymore? Haven't seen anything written about it for a long time.

I don't but probably should, I caught a ton of good fish on this technique in the 70s and 80s.

Basically small (4") worms rigged on a special weighted hook. It's a finesse presentation, best done on spinning gear. Check this out, it explains a lot:

Hey Crestliner: I use 3 types of slider heads, but instead of the older grub/worm they sold I put a 4.5Bush Bug on em, SLAYS em in the weeds!

thanks im checking it out now

I do, and it's a killer technique.  Though I don't use slider worms.  I use 4.5" - 6" straight tail Roboworms and occassionally Zoom Finesse worms.    I use the 1/16oz and 1/8oz Pro heads.  I like to toss them near dock pilings so that they slow sink.  I've picked up a lot of good bass doing that.  It is definitely as finesse as finesse gets.  I use a medium/fast spinning rod with 8lb test, and sometimes that's too heavy.  But it does a give a semi-reasonable chance of getting a bass out from underneath a dock or pier.

This is my bombdiggity bait. The Spider Slider head with a Roboworm. In this case, a 6" straight tail. It has a very slender profile and works exceptionally well with this head. I also fish the 4.5" verson on this head, but like the 6" better.  I've fished Zoom Finesse Worms on these heads, too, and done reasonably well.  But they are at the upper extreme of size for this head.

There is a difference between slider fishing and just using Brewer Slider jigs... but to answer your question... yes.

Right on the money.

I do use the Pro Heads pretty often but do not use the technique too much anymore. Hmm.... Used to work. Why wouldn't it still work?

Im not saying it is not good, but I just don't get it. It's just a straight tailed worm on a jig head? What is the special thing about it? What does it do? Please infom me. Does it glide away from you or glide under docks?

I use both the spider slider and the Owner ultra head which sports a bigger and stronger hook than the slider version.  Both have their palce and catch fish with a variety of baits, like straight tail worms, spidergrubs, small brush hogs, and tubes.  

the presentation/technique of slider fishing is deifferent b/c it has so little action and is so subtle going through the water that it is appealing to the most finicky of fish, the actual slider fishing technique mimics a small slender bait fish like a spot tail.

though the slider worms and weights may not be something you hear about often they do catch fish...very well at times.  I have to agree that I really like the roboworm straight tails on a slider head.  And again I have to agree that if you use a zoom tiny brush hog when the bite is tough you may be suprised!

I purchased Charlie Brewer's Slider Fishing book, hot off the press in 1978.

Sliding is a delivery technique that may be used with a throng of lures, and to this day

I've never found a delivery that is more deadly on smallmouth bass than a Do Nothing delivery,

Especially when bass are finicky (most of the time), the slider technique blows away a chuck-&-wind delivery.

To my mind, the float-&-fly is merely a version of the do nothing delivery,

where the cork serves as the fulcrum instead of the angler's hand (i.e. depth control).

The advent of the senko was merely the reinvention of the wheel.

The stick worm is essentially a vertical version of the do nothing delivery.

Whereas the original do nothing delivery uses a horizontal delivery (natural arc)

that simulates a minnow gliding through the water.

Any T-rig Jig can be used for sliding, for example, the Brewer Slider Head, Owner Bullet Head Jig,

Owner Sled Head jig and a host of other T-rig jigs not worth mentioning because they have RUBBERY hooks.

If you're goal is a 12-lb bass, then opt for the Owner Sled Head, otherwise Charlie's Slider jig

is arguably the best for sliding, IF that is, you order the correct Charlie Brewer Slider jig.

To avoid a hassle, I order direct from the Slider Company as per following Product Code: SPCH8B-U

SP = Spider

CH = Classic Head

8 = 1/8oz

B = Black

U = Ultra Point Mustad (Confirm the "U" in the product code, otherwise the hook will be rubbery!

No, it doesn't really glide or anything like that.

Sometimes a "do nothing" bait is what's needed. Brewer wanted to duplicate small minnows that kind of dart around in short little bursts. The flat tail barely moves at all. Easy food for predators. I've seen my fishing partner catch literally dozens of nice bass over the years on them. I should fish them more but I don't.
