WIGGLING WORM
WIGGLING WORM IS AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE LURE FOR BASS ANGLERS
By Ken Liebeskind
Yalesville, Connecticut
It began in the 1940s when Nick Crème, an Ohio machinist, melted polyvinyl chloride and poured it into a hand-carved mold shaped like a night crawler. The wiggling worm was born and it went on to revolutionize the fishing industry.
Wiggling worms are a favorite among bass fishermen and they also work for trout, walleye and other freshwater fish. One angler said the wiggling worm is the ideal "go to" bait for bass fishing because it can be fished at all depths and all retrieve speeds; it can be fished in the heaviest of cover to the most barren shoreline; and it's offered in a myriad of colors that match any foliage found in a body of water.

One manufacturer of wiggling worms offers them in green pumpkin, watermelon red and black flake. Wiggling worms can be fished on a Texas rig or Carolina rig and can be pre-rigged with beads, in-line spinners and exposed double hooks. "Cast one out, let it sink to the bottom, work it just fast enough to make the spinners turn, and bass hammered it, "one angler said.
Wiggling worms work well because they mimic live worms, which is the favorite food of hungry bass. The most successful modern day version of the wiggling worm is the Walking Worm, from www.scientificfishing.com, the Connecticut company that specializes in scientifically designed lures. Nick Creme's original wiggling worm was cooked on a stove, but the Walking Worm is based on patented technology that traps air between several tail segments, which causes the lure to constantly curl through the water, just live a live worm. When bass see the Walking Worm wiggle, they attack, and you've landed yourself another bass. The Walking Worm can be Texas or Carolina rigged and is available in six enticing colors. If you like wiggling worms, you'll love the Walking Worm. |
