More Questions
So the more we fish the more we learn and the more questions we have. We actually tried the upper lake at the Ramapo Reservation in Sunday and although we did not catch I do have a couple of questions as a result of that session.
What can I do to get the worm to sink faster, I use the wacky rig and want the worm to sink faster, I'm having trouble knowing when it's hitting the lake bed. I am thinking about getting another rod and reel so I can have it tackled up with different gear , the reel I think I will get would probably be the more expensive FI reel, I'd like a smother cast and retrieve, what about rod, if you were to suggest a bass road what would you advise ? I knew I get bitten by the bass bug |

Re: More Questions
Some guys take small nails and push them into the worm for extra weight and extra wackiness. You really don't want them too heavy though. A lighter worm will take longer to sink, and that's usually when the bass will crush it.

Re: More Questions
You could try fishing the worm the "traditional" way with a worm weight if you prefer to feel it bouncing along the bottom. Just google "worm weight" and you'll see the sinkers used.

Re: More Questions
Thanks for the tips guys. If anyone could advise on a rod that would be superb as well

Re: More Questions
For a wacky set up, I use a Fenwick 6'6" Medium light fast spinning rod with a Pflueger Purist 1325. I use 2 or 4 lb mono line with 10"-12" 6 lb fluroro lead.

Re: More Questions
I can visualise how that would work nicely, what about if I'm using a lure! Same rod or would I need something a bit for beefy ?
