hey everyone Im new here.I really like this site lots of good info.I was in BPS the other day to pick up some senko worms.An older man was working there and I ask him for help finding the right worms.He found them for me  and asked if I was fishing for big bass.if so try these 12 inch worms so i bought them.I have no idea how to rig these.should I use texas, carolina, wacky or just work it thru like a lure?if you guys could tell me what works best for these 12 inch worms I would appreciate it. Thanks alot  Mike

personally id go with the T-rig.

i also love to fish big worms at dusk, right along the shoreline.......

....as slow as possible.

just my thoughts on the matter at hand.

  BIG WEIGHT, BRAID, T-RIGGED, BIG HOOK all in the bottom of a brush pile! My partner pour's his own worms and he pour's this ribbon tail 14" black worm. First time he pulled it out all I could do is laugh. I cant tell you how many fish I've seen that snake pull in. he's caught 8"bass on that thing. Trick is the hook set. You really got to wait and let them eat it. I've found that the bigger fish seem to like big worm's in the evening though...

My first experience with Culprit 12" worms in black shad was in the evening when the fish were very active before a front hit(rain).  I used a large hook weedless rigged in the nose of the worm.  On my very first cast i nailed a 13" bass he was really hungry and wanted a meal not a snack.  Lets face he saw a steak not a sandwich.  My point is you need to figure out what mood the fish are in.  It could be really slow or a feeding frenzy too.

Is it the BPS 12" squirmin super worm? If so they are awesome. I Tx rig them with a 5/0 or 6/0 gamakatsu hook. You don't need a big giant weight, but it would not hurt anything to use a big one. I use the same weight I use for 8" lizards. I don't recall the size, I go by sight on weights for Tx rigging.

I c-rig with a 7/0 hook.

Same as I do a 6" except with the 10" Anaconda I also swim it at a slow pace.

T-rig, BIG hook, just enough weight for the conditions to get it on the bottom.

Keep it there.

Simple

All good suggestions. I like a 7/0 owner offset worm hook on them.

I also wanted to add that for me it seems a very light weight with the big worms works very well and it forces you to fish it slow.

In a grass lake like Guntersville you can T-Rig with 1/8 weight and slowly swim through the grass. This is a tried and true technique during the summer!

guys thanks for the info i will try those suggestions this weekend!!!
