Exactly how I learned how to set the hook on soft plastics! Fantastic vid Greg! Keep em coming! 65 years old and learn something new every video you come out with.
Been fishing worms ad plastics for years and a refresher of the basics is always helpful. Especially since have bad habits when I fish and get lazy.
Plastic worm fishing is practically all I use when bass are on their beds during spawning. Anytime I watch videos like this one always help me when using worms, when I watched this video it helps me pick up on what other anglers do. I learn from these types of videos, never too old to learn. I enjoyed this video very much and look forward to watching more of these on this website. The hook set portion is very important.
Thank you,
Buddy Smith
This man is teaching golden techniques, i hope a few rookies are wise enough to watch this video ten times, take notes and go fishing. Thank you sir.
Thank you Christian! Glad I could help. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
wow! Thanks for a great vid. I'm new to bass fishing (crappie fisherman from Kentucky) and there is finally a video that explains the ideas in plain English! I got so tired of wading through jargon in others. thanks a bunch!
You're welcome Brandon Ellingsworth! Thanks for watching.
Welcome the world of bass fishing. Your going to love it here.
I know some people aren't sold on soft plastics but they are really missing out. It has changed fishing for me. I've had the most success dragging worms along the bottom with a heavier weight (even using it to sight fish) and swimming a creature bait with a light weight to get a nice slow fall on the pauses. This is the best video I've come across on the topic; worth watching for any angler.
Thanks for the support, Matthew Broser, and thanks for watching!
Have caught my fair share of fish just watching the line, it works! Especially if you’re fishing pads and cover with braid, you can see the braided line just take off! Then, as he said, cut the slack and set the hook. Works every time
This guy makes some of the very best videos-- full of important information, but concise and easy to listen to. This one should be mandatory viewing for anyone starting to learn how to fish for bass.
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Glad to help. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
I appreciate the hook setting tips. Always a good reminder!
Best piece of advice I liked was "watch the line"
Great advice, once again. The hook set lesson was valuable because I've experienced losing fish on the hook set.
i don't think i've ever heard anyone explain how to set the hook. i've never really put a whole lot of thought into it. you can learn something new every day!
fishing some plastic baits can be tricky... but when the bass hits it, the fun begins. Thanks for the tips on plastics.. aprox 6 mins in.
Another really good vid. I'd offer a suggestion for bait casters-- place your hand on the reel so the line comes over the top of your index finger. There are 2 advantages:
1. Line twitches can often be felt long before it makes down the rod to the hand on uber subtle strikes. I've put a number of fish in the boat from feeling the line before it's noticed by the rod
2. That hand position helps to prevent accidentally bumping the line release on smaller frame reels (more of a me being clumsy style maybe but it def helps to prevent tapping the line release)
That’s a good tip as well, @finmanpoozie4756. Thanks for sharing.
I've fished plastics for years but still pick up something helpful in these videos. Thanks for posting them.
You're welcome Chris Elliott! Thanks for watching.
Having slack in your line while fishing any soft plastics is THE most important thing to remember. Presentation and hooksets will be much better. Good stuff Bassresource as usual!
Never knew I should have some slack line before the hook-set! I like Glenn May's instruction; have watched & liked dozens of his helpful videos. Thank you!
Hi Wendi Yee. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
The absolute best video for beginner bass fishermen I've ever seen.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
as a beginner on fishing this tips help a lot and explain why every time I think I set the hook and the fish gets away.. great information. Thanks
This video is great for the novice and the experts angler. After a while it becomes natural when fishing with plastic baits. Outstanding
Hi Robert Sylvia. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Always great to go over the basics of plastic worm fishing right before the spring fishing season starts.
great tip for setting the hook... I thought I wasn't setting it hard enough... I will have to try !!!
Glad to help, DUGJigginVA. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Did it work?
well did It work
It works for me. After seeing a similar tip a couple of years ago, I tripled my hook sets and put many more fish in the boat. Once you do this a few times, your confidence goes way up. This type of fishing is now my go to when nothing else seems to be getting bytes. Try it, you'll like it!
Good tip on the copolymer over braid. I have been using braid for years and it has done ok, but he's right. If the bottom is rocky, I often end up with frayed line and a lot of retying.
No matter how experienced we are, or think we are, these videos really help our fishing experience. Thanks for making them.
I've only just recently started having success with soft plastics and videos like this one have really help me with it.
BiggEJohnson23, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Fishing plastic worms and craws are my go to. You can fish them so many ways. Good help on hook sets- thanks
You're welcome David Powell! Thanks for watching.
Your videos are pretty much the only ones I come back to and watch repeatedly to bone up on the fundamentals and remind myself of the proper way to do things. Such great info. Please keep up the great work!
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
"Watch the line. If it does something that you didn't do, go ahead and set the hook! Odds are you got a fish on."
Haha! Love this because it can be this simple really. Too often we complicate the bite and what we're feeling etc.
Then his instructions on the actual hook set - this could be a separate training vid in itself.
So much good information!
Thanks for the feeback John. Actually, I did do a separate video on the hookset: czcams.com/video/3iCpD2uiTw8/video.html
Nice video for beginners to get them started fishing plastics, which is a must have in your arsenal.
Good info. Old Texas Rig doesn't get used much any more except for pitching.
Once again, great information. I fish mainly with plastic and these were great tips, especially about the hook set. I've missed several by jerking too soon without slack in the line. Thanks again Glenn.
great video as usual. another reason not to wait till you feel the fish is when the bait pulls on the fish ,the fish will usually take a double bite ,where they let go to get a better bite because they feel like the bait is getting away from them and when they do that a lot of times you jerk the bait out of their mouth when they open up to get another bite
Swings are free. Great advice ...won my last tournament using this advice. First one ever. Worm off rocks. Lake Eufaula al... Thx
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Ed LaFontaine!
No doubt the most important info for fishing plastic baits
7' mh is definitely the go-to all around rod that can throw just about any lure short of a big swimbait. great tips as always.
I have done well with plastics over the last couple weeks but I've missed quite a few during the hook set. The advice to give some slack will help! Thanks!
Glad to help, Jim Parsons. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Heading to Lake of the Ozarks this weekend to trow some Senko style worms at the largemouth & spotted bass. I can't wait to try a few new worm colors that I jjust picked up.
Great Video.... I love using plastics and can always use advice on what others do in order to make the most out of using them. I tend to be the one that jerks the bait out of the mouth and this is a great reminder of allowing the bait to work as it was intended... so Thank You !!!
You're welcome David Dysart! Thanks for watching.
Good tips for anybody, refreshed me memory of a lot of the basics that i had put in the back of my mind and stashed away.
Thanks for watching Jeffray Gooch!
Great video! I liked the part about setting the hook and allowing the bullet weight to come through the mouth so the hook can set.
I'm a newbie to fishing, but I'm thankful for all the tips & videos y'all post! Still learnin all the lingo & etiquette, but will use this info when i go fishing this weekend! First time ever!!
Hi Trish Cannon. Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
I like rigging with a bobber stopper. But I usually keep my. Texas rig free. Great tips on hook sets! Soft plastics is one of my favorite methods! Thanks!
Great Information. Been making a lot of mistakes using plastic, Thank You!
Great vid! I loved the explanation of what gear to use. I find this to be the hardest and most confusing part of getting started in bass fishing. Thanks!
I now gravitate towards the weightless rigs on a spinning set up because of all the grass in the places a fish but still all great stuff!
Totally agree, 7' MH-F is an all around multi-tool for fishing!
awesome advice, I always watch my line when using plastics on the bottom. I like when I see the line jump , when the fish bites.
Thanks Glenn a lot of great info on plastics I really never had the confidence to fish plastics but I think you just covered why my hook sets are terrible but watching the video makes me want to go out and put more time into it. Again thanks!
Great! Let me know how you do!
The hook set information is an eye opener. Maybe that's why I miss so many fish fishing soft plastic.
Great! Let me know how you do!
There is never a time where I go on the water without some type of plastics rigged up. The hook set lesson is so true, I have lost so many fish to a bad hookset due to pulling the line tight.
Jacob Austin, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
thanks so much! ive been fishing bass for most of my life but only with live baits and i want to get into plastic and crank baits. ive learned a lot from this video, esp the hook setting.
Erienne Bailey, glad I could help. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.
good advice on hook sets. always difficult to get a feel for how hard to set for weekend anglers with different size fish hooks and plastics.
i like the depth and hookset part. generally i try to feel them but the vision can come in good hand.
Thank you so much! My kids are sick of catching small fish using real worms and bobbers. We are going to try this this weekend. We used to just throw the rubber worm out there and real it in apparently to fast. We would catch maybe on fish for every 10 fishing trips! Thanks for the detail and plain English.
Glad to help, Lloyd Elliott. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
Hopefully this solves my missed hook sets, thanks!
I have been doing the same thing (leave a slack just before setting the hook) for a different reason. I gave it slack so they don't feel the tug. I did this because I thought that they were just dropping the lure if they feel something. I figured letting them take it a little more allows the lure to go deeper down their mouth. At least that was my thought process.
Gotta love a video that opens with a real "rod bender". Thanks for the reminder on hooksets; how easily we forget!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
I love you! I'm just starting in this endeavor and your video got me to a whole new level or knowledge (still need to practice) and excitement! Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Adrian Radulescu!
I'm never to old to learn and I learn with every video I watch! Great job! THANKS!!!!!!
Thank you. Love fishing soft plastics. Love using rage bugs.
texas rig is my go to i will have to get some of these to try. I like the weight pegging setup i will have to try that also. Thanks for the tips
Thank you so much I've been snugging it up and now I know my mistakes!! Can't wait to try a new technique
Happy to help!
I came here to win, but to be honest after watching the video I got more out of the video than if I were to win. Great info video. Keep your baits I got what I needed.
Love the simplicity of this from equipment to technique; so easy to get wamboozled by a thousand different thoughts these days!
Glad it was helpful!
Hook sets are a huge part of landing fish, no matter what your fishing. Nice informative video again!
Good stuff! The advice on reeling down but leaving slack hit the nail on the head. I lost two heavy smallest at the boat because I set the hook while the line was tight and they just opened their mouths and were gone.
Thanks for the support, Gary Noble, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. I only fish ponds and usually fish plastics a lot. Not sure about using a bobber stopper though.
Plastics, particularly worms, are my go to. Great tips, especially the keeping it universal... and inexpensive. Thanks!
I tried copolymer line on a spinning reel and it worked very well.
Sweet video - love that feeling when the rod bends over like that on the hookset!
These r probably the best techniques to use when fishing plastic worms. The only problem I run into is that my works often break easily so what I do is reinforce them with duct tape or any kind of tape. I tape a ring around It and hook it through the tape so when you pull on it, the tension is on the tape not the worm. Caught 36 bass on one before it broke. Good video I liked it
I love fishing with the worms. I have used the power bait worms with spin caster. I have noticed that you guys use a bait caster a lot.
Great advice on setting the hook and different retrievals.
As always great advice. I am fishing plastics the majority of the time. Now I have some new techniques to try
Great video Glen. Now I know why I miss fish on the hook set. Love fishing plastics, this video will sure help.
Route262, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Finally a good tip video on bass fishing. Thanks a bunch. Going out this weekend to put it to the test.
Great! Let me know how you do!
arguably one of the best teachers out there you are so helpful you have no idea how much you help a guy I really appreciate that thank you keep the videos coming!
Wow! Thanks for the feedback and support. Happy to help. I look forward to hearing more from you.
great tips! I can relate to having baits spit out when fishing heavy vegetation. now I know why. I was waiting until the line was tight before setting the hook. now I know to leave some slack. will implement this right away. thanks Glen!
Great! Let me know how you do!
On weightless worms, I use a bright colored braid with a fluorocarbon leader. It's easier to spot the braid doing something erratic when a bass picks it up mid water and starts swimming off with it.
Very informative. Bass resources is the truth. Got to use the right lures for the right fish.
Glad you liked it Jeremiah Howell!
I've lost a lot of fish fishing plastics. will have to start dropping my rod when setting the hook more to try that out. thanks again bass recourse great video again as always.
just tried this today. the results were amazing. thanks for the tips. caught 50 fish I probably wouldn't have otherwise on a yum craw. normally got half before, caught probably 90% of the hits this time. you guys rock
That's fantastic! Glad I could help. Enjoy!
Keep your eye on the line , feel the bottom . Good info on setting the hook .
I like the medium heavy fast action 7Ft rod that he uses. I went out and bought a rod with the same measurements.
Great video that would be perfect for any beginner out there. Always good to get a refresher as well. It reminded me to let the bait fall on semi-slack line.
Glad you liked it b.warrick3!
Hey...thanks Glen. It's always good to get more tips on fishing soft plastics.
Yeah I am a firm believer in hooksets being free. I like the information about the how to set the hook and that makes sense, however I wish the camera angle would have shown the rod position a little better. Great video. Keep em coming!
Awesome video and techniques . An old fisherman like me can always learn something new .
Great tip for a new fisherman the rod medium heavy it is a universal rod asa you clearly point out
Thanks
My current pb came on a 10" Berkley worm. When they don't seem to bite anything I reach for a worm. I also love swimming them on top over vegetation.
Greater instruction yet again I must applesauce for seeing yet greater tips for bass using plastic lures
for some reason I've had more luck with a plastic on a jig head than with the texas rig...not sure why! I will try putting a bobberstopper and fishing with tungsten this year to see if that makes a difference.
Plastic worm is the bait I have the most confidence in. I fish plastic worm 80% of the time. In the video information about watching the line I find to most important. Any slight movement in the line could mean the difference in missing a bite. Also hook setting was very important too.
Thanks for watching Michael Young!
Hey Glenn, another great video. It's spring time, time to fish anything crawdad.
Good info. I remember when we were pegging worm weight with toothpicks
great informative video. Ive been fishing worms off and on for 5 or 6 years and learned a few things that I will incorporate in my next trip.
Great advice on fishing worms. As always this video was very informative.
Great tips. I love fishing soft plastic baits. Just caught my PB last weekend with a Rage Menace as a jig trailer
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Daniel Wagoner!
Another great video. Great information and techniques. Fishing a plastic lure should be second nature and easy; however, sometimes we need to be reminded of the basics. Of course, not all plastics are the same and fished the same, but ideas given in this video are a good refresher course. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for tips on the hook set !! Does that also hold true for fishing frogs?
Thanks for another great video! The hook set information was a good refresher. I have great luck fishing big plastic baits like the Havoc Pit Boss and Missile D-Bomb all season long. As a bonus, T-rigging with plastics is an inexpensive way to fish.
