The most versatile bass fishing presentation — completely weedless, fishes anywhere
Best For
Bass fishing in heavy cover — weeds, brush piles, docks, laydowns. The go-to rig when nothing else works.
Thread a bullet-shaped sinker onto your line, point facing the hook
Tie on an offset worm hook (size 3/0-5/0 depending on worm size)
Push the hook point through the top of the worm about 1/4 inch and pull it out the side
Slide the worm up to the hook eye so it sits straight on the shank
Rotate the hook 180 degrees and push the point back into the worm body — do not push it through
The worm should hang straight with the hook buried just below the skin — fully weedless
Cast to cover, let it sink on semi-slack line, and watch for the line to jump or go sideways
🎣 Pro Tip
Use the lightest weight that still reaches the bottom. Lighter weights give the worm more natural action and more time in the strike zone.
