Merthiolate Worms... ?

[Fat Cat]

On TR Ive caught some good fish in standing timber with weightless worms.

Yeah Fluke's and Senko's pretty much put the weightless Trick worm into extinction.  

 

Yep. Just keep thinking that.

Well hey, a man can't carry EVERYTHING, sometimes a certain bait/technique has to be culled.  Just a personal choice. 

If somebody spanks me from the back of the boat with a wacky trick worm it'll only take about 13 seconds to put them back in the boat once I get home.   Pretty sure I can scrounge up a winner on a bite like that with what's currently in the boat though.

One of the few times color can make a difference for me. I thought I was catching them pretty good once on a swirled orange and pink combo, but when I changed to yellow the fish got bigger and a little more frequent.

They definitely work on Beaver.

I hardly ever throw a fluke and even less of senkos. And I have caught fish on them. But I think I throw a floating worm almost every time I go fishing. I know it's limiting production but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.

Ddlades hit this right on the head. Probably not another single bait that we throw where color is such a factor to such extent

i have seen times when pink and mercurochrome won’t get bit and yellow or chartreuse gets hammered. Pearl or White at times and then you have GP and Mar-gra

interesting bait and for the life of me I have not found that water color or rain or shine influence what color to use

As dblades said, at times they will just peck or swirl on a color and a different color they will hammer

Here is another deal. If you see one and miss him immediately toss either Ned or a small jig or small shaky head in there.  Most times a done deal

Good Luck and nice Thread

I also think Eric Prey may have a fluke video. He was throwing a tandem fluke several years ago and doing well with it. I believe he was using white.

I believe he had multiple doubles on it. This was just prior to the A-rig   At that time we were also tandem rigging Storm Wild Eye Shad and whacking them. Then the A-Rig bomb dropped and now you have the rest of the story

I’ve found disco blue flukes to be the best color. Pearl white early then disco blue after sun gets up.

Probably throw Blue Pearl Hologram 90% of the time,   have a dark and a loud color available.
