Live Worm Fishing

The very first time that you went fishing, what did you use to
catch fish? I mean way back, when you were a kid, what did you
used to use to catch fish? More than likely a live worm.
Everyone knows that live worms are a great way to catch fish.
The problem is that many anglers either stop fishing with worms
after the age of 12 or continue to fish in the same manner that
they did when they were 12 for the rest of their lives. This
makes no sense to me, we don't do anything in our lives in the
same manner as we did when we were kids, except of course the
way we fish a live worm!
Most people tie on a large hook (size 4 or bigger) and then
attempt to "thread" a live worm onto that hook. Either that or
they simply hook the worm over and over again, thus creating
what I like to call a "worm ball". You see, this is fine when
you're a kid, because you don't know any better, and aren't
really "fishing" anyway. When you're a kid, you're just trying
to catch a fish.
Now that we're all adults, we need to begin fishing live worms
properly. What's properly? Properly is making that live worm
look as natural as possible. In order to consistently catch
fish, and more importantly to catch trophy fish, a live worm
needs to be presented naturally. Your worm needs to look as if
you simply threw it in the water. Do you honestly think that a
worm ball or a worm that's been threaded on a size 4 hook looks
natural?
The most effective way to present a live worm naturally is
through the use of gang hooks. What are gang hooks? A set
of gang hooks is simply 2 small hooks ties in tandem. A set of
gang hooks enables the angler to present a live worm in a
completely natural manner. When rigged on a set of gang hooks, a
live worm looks the same as it does without any hooks in it!
This is an incredibly big advantage to the angler. Not only
that, but the fact that there are 2 hooks effectively doubles
your caches of a hook set!
When it comes to live worm fishing, gang hooks are the only way
to go. If you fish with live worms, a set of gang hooks will
literally help you catch more fish. You don't watch the same
movies as you did when you were a kid, so why fish a live worm
in the same way?
