When you are fishing one of these larger lures, you will also catch small bass, but when you are fishing a small lure, your chances of catching a big bass drop considerably. It has a big profile that is appealing to those fish. In stained or dark water that has heavy cover and a good number of quality fish, I will go with the 10-inch Worm. Watercolor and the size of the fish where your fishing will help you decide when it is time to rig up a giant worm. In certain situations, it is really the best choice. I feel these big plastics are more versatile than most anglers realize. I have caught many big bass (bass up to 10 pounds) on them. We all know that 10-inch worms are great big bass lures. However, swimming a big 10-inch worm over and around structure especially grass edges has been a well-kept secret of the pros for sometime now. All anglers know about them, but in recent times, traditional plastic-worm fishing has slipped quietly into the background, while tubes and finesse plastics gained momentum as prime tournament tools.

Mention plastic worms to most bass anglers and they visualize slim-profile baits 6 or 7 inches long – the kind that were the soft-plastic staple for decades.
