Mega Worm in Place of Pink Power Worm?

[Seth]

I've caught my biggest Gasconade and Osage largemouth on that silly thing. Also caught my two biggest smallies on the Gasconade with it as well. If I an see 4' or more, you can pretty well guarantee that I am throwing that thing most of the time I'm on the water.

How do you rig it

Do trout inhale 3-4" minnows? Why do streamers get tied with tandem/trailer hooks? I think the eating method depends on size of food size of fish and location in the water column, but that is just what I've always thought. I have observed the take and spit in real water and suckers can do that faster than trout, I think all fish do it. I have had many fish drag a night crawler around by the tail including rainbow trout and lmb.  I watched 4" sunfish eat shiners from the tail one bite at a time. The only interest I've gotten on the mega worm though has been longear. Mostly I have fished water that allowed sight to 4' or more and at depth the fish   may act differently.

Spent a week with my dad on Fork fishing nothing but floating worms. We tried a lot of different colors and riggings. Pink Texas rigged. Period. Never changing my mind. I give lessons.

That's how I've always rigged it.

Same here. Rig and fish it just like you would a fluke. If the water has less than 4' of visibility, I tend to go with a fluke. It seems like fish can pick up on the thicker bodied bait a little bit better. With that said, my personal best smallmouth ate the trick worm when there was about a foot of visibility. The fish was laying between a log and the bank in about a foot of water. I threw right on top of the fish and it came charging out and inhaled the worm after just a few twitches.
