Soft Plastic Worms & Stick Baits for Bass
Soft plastic worms and stick baits are among the most versatile bass fishing lures because they can be rigged for shallow cover, deep structure, finesse fishing and bottom-contact presentations.
Popular Rigging Options
- Texas Rig: Fish weedless around grass, wood, docks and heavy cover.
- Carolina Rig: Cover points, ledges, flats and deeper structure.
- Wacky Rig: Give stick baits a natural fluttering fall around docks, grass and open water.
- Drop Shot: Present smaller worms above the bottom for pressured or suspended bass.
- Weightless: Use a slow fall and subtle action in shallow water or around light cover.
Choose bait length, profile, color and salt level based on forage, water clarity, depth and how aggressively the bass are feeding.
