Bigger bait for bigger fish won’t get as many bites but you may get a trophy fish.Black and chartreuse.

I use the same size hook but I always use red hooks and even red swivels. I do not really use plastic worms, I mostly use live bait of crank bait when I bass fish. I live in Kansas so there isn’t a lot of good areas to bass fish.

I use 5″ worms on 3/0 Gamakatsu offset shank hooks. I fish almost exclusively Texas rig. In stained water, I’ve done my best in bubblegum pink, but have caught some on white. In clear water, my top producers are natural colors like watermelon flake, etc. Lastly, if bass are taking baitfish deep and I can’t coax a strike with a crankbait, I have tied on both white and smoke pepper worms and caught fish.

4″ worms on a drop shot rig, use Wide Gap Dropshot Hook #4
4 -6″ worms on a shaky head, use a shaky head 1/8 – 3/8 oz.
6″ – 8″ worms, Gamakatsu Offset G-Lock Worm Hooks 3/0 or 4/0
10 – 12″ worms, Gamakatsu EWG Monster Hook 5/0 or 6/0
Wacky rigging worms I use a Owner Wacky Hook 1/0 or 2/0

Depends on the time of year, during the spawn i use 6″ salamanders with a small split shot right above the head and sight cast it into beds,
early summer I like 4-6″ crayfish retrieved slowly along the bottom or flukes without weights, as for worm patters I like maximum 6″ generally 4″ with a red 2/0 or 1/0 hook.

most of the time, a 6″ or 7″ one but do use as small as 4″ and as large as 10″- 12″. particularly at night. black.
hook sizes will range from size 1 or 2 on the 4″ worms to 5/0 on the 10″ models and about a 2/0 on the sixes and sevens. depends on how fat the worm is.
l prefer the tru-turn hook with the little worm holding coil but as they are getting harder to come by, l use a basic round bend offset shank hook.
l use regular tru-turns and peg both my worm and texas rigged weight with a toothpick.

shank hook and five inch wave worm works the best. Good LUCK!!!
