learned that a finesse worm catch panfish as well as bass!

Since I've been making my own minnows and catching loads of fish on them, I decided to make a slim finesse worm and hang it on a 1/32 oz jig with #6 hook for the most action at the slowest retrieve.


I started out with a green pumpkin color with purple and green flake and caught crappie of all sizes, white perch, small bass and sunfish. I changed to the white worm pictured and did as well - even on the smallest of fish.

Maybe the lesson to be learned is that a finesse action in a slim bait - even one 3" long - is as likely to get bit as one only 1.5" -2".

excellent job!!! fish eat all sized minnows and stuff......they should devour that!!!!!!!!!!

Surprising is that even the smaller fish attacked the lure from the front and hooked themselves on that small hook! Normally I would have used a #4 hook, but it made no difference and the entire bait was inhaled in many of the medium to large fish.

That worm can sure wiggle! Will definitely be making more.
