    Trick Worm technique?

    Watched a video on another bass fishing site about what essentially uses a trick worm rigged up with a leader on a swivel and looks like it uses kinda like a top water bait. The guy in the video is using a white worm. I'm not sure what this technique is called but wondering if the color of the worm follows typical color rules?

    Thanks,

    Robert

    Weightless Water melon red and go slow. 3/0 lightwire. Throw everything in the trash in calm, summer waters.

    Also light line makes a difference. I couldn't believe it. I was throwing 10 and my cousin was throwing 8, and he was kicking my butt. We even change rods, then I was getting more bites. You wouldn't think 2# would make a difference

    May have allowed to sink faster or deeper? Or maybe gave it a little more action?

    He was using a light action rod and I was using a med-light rod. Both the rod and line poundage made the difference. We were fishing weedy flats, and the fish were suspended up. Same brand line

    It's called a floating worm. My favorite colors are white, chartreuse, and methiolate(orange). Bright colors work best. Fish it with a spinning rod when fish are shallow and skittish or overpressured. I vary retrieve between fast twitches to letting it sink just below visibility between each twitch. Excellent technique from post spawn thru late fall. I personally don't use a swivel. If u rig it perfectly straight with a 3/0 ewg gammy then there is no line twist. I've caught huge stringers using it when no one else in the boat could buy a bite

    I'm going to give this a try, I'm having issues here in central florida getting bites with the usual t-rig worms/craws.

    I have a spinning combo i swapped to braid and have tried to tie a floru leader to with no luck. I may give the swivel a try and fish it
