When everything else fails to produce, anglers around the world rely on wacky-rigged worms to get the job done. By hooking a stick worm or finesse worm through the middle, you’re able to show the bass something totally different than they’re accustomed to seeing. This technique doesn’t just catch small ones either; some of my biggest catches have come on a wacky-rigged stick worm.

I’ve spent the last several months testing the Buckeye Flick-It jighead. After catching bass with it in in several different bodies of water, it has become a major confidence technique for me.
