This

pitching method involves five-inch, 7.5-inch, 10-inch and

12-inch paddle tail and curly tailed worms (such as

gambler or bounty hunter worms) presented Texas style to

the bass.

This is a

method for bigger bass, usually three pounds or bigger.

This is also a method where you don't play around with

the bass.

I recommend

and use 20-pound to 40-pound green fishing line (such as

Trilene big game lie) along with 4/0, 5/0 and 6/0 offset

worm hooks.

Now, for

you to be successful at this method, you must first learn

good boat control.

You must

learn to use your boat's trolling motor on slower speeds

and avoid hitting anything with your trolling motor prop.

Any loud noise will alert the bass that you're around and

makes fishing tougher.

Now,

secondly, you must learn to control underhand pitches

with your worm rig as far away as 20 feet from the cover

you're pitching to. Also, your worm rig should make

little or no splash when pitched into or around cover.

method: "Carolina Rigging"

Good

fishing,
