I have stumbled upon an interesting phenomenon while drifting the pink worm in clear water during the last couple of weeks. I had not been getting bit at all with anything during "the swing" while drift fishing this year; only at the top or mid drift. Three times recently I have used a slight 6" to 12" jigging motion during the end of the swing before reeling up, and have had the worm gobbled up. This morning I worked a fairly decent sized drift over for 30 minutes. Then I tried jigging once, and sure enough I caught a nice one.

Has anyone else had any luck trying this with the pink worm or any other drift gear?

Also, I have only caught bucks on the pink worm. Has anyone else seen this tendency, or is it just a coincidence?

Tight lines, and throw 'em back!
