I have a question about drift fishing a pink worm. When drift fishing this setup I have had luck using a small corky just above the worm so it will say off of the bottom, is this necessary? What are some different ways to rig this, anyone? Thanks, tight lines

They make floating pink worms. Just rig it normal without the corkie.

I as well place a corky above the worm, however I jam the tip of a toothpick into
the corky to keep it from sliding down on the worm when I set hook. The worm will last longer. I also agree with Smiles, rigging a floating worm on a hook by itself is also deadly. Mess around with it, see what you come up with.

It's going to be a great weekend to be fishing!

Thanks for all the help guys! fish on!

I like to use pink worms under a float with a bullet weight above the worm its a deadly combo FISH ON !!!!

slayer do you thread the hook through the entire worm with the hook at the tail? I like the bullet weight idea!

Steelhead addict I like to thread just enough cover the shank leave the tail loose so you get good movement.I havent seen anyone else use this method it is a killer

I just tied one up for my trip tomorow!
What size hooks do you use? size worms?
Dont worry i am far away from your river
thanks for the tip!!!

steelhead addict, where are you fishing tomorrow?

I have been using small painted bullet weights above a worm or above tube flies that I tie myself.(below a float) I have to agree the bullet weights above the worm is a deadly combo at times. gets the worm down fast in the current and keeps it near the bottom.

Thanks Jigman, landed a beauty of a nate on Fri. using a 1/4 oz. jig with jake the snake . thanks for the info.The bullet weight sounds good too I'll have to give it a try on Fri.

Hmmmm,
Could the bullet weight be the cone in Bob's conehead? Just a thought, sounds kind of cool, Bass fisherman could feel more at home on the river.

A few months back there was a magazine mentioning conehead marabous. There is a plastic conehead you can put at the front of a marabou paintbrush, streetwalker, or similar pattern. I also saw some small conehead weigts more suited to flies that would work great when using a floating line. I believe Orvis makes them.
