The floating worm is a legendary bass fishing technique that many modern anglers have completely forgotten about—and that is a huge mistake. In this video, I’m breaking down the floating worm masterclass, showing you why this "old school" bait still catches more bass than almost anything else during the post-spawn and early summer.


We cover everything from the basic concept of a high-flotation worm to my "secret" rigging tricks that prevent line twist and increase your hook-up ratio. If you want to catch bass on a bait that the fish in your local ponds and lakes haven't seen in years, this is the breakdown for you.
