RatLTrap,

That's some good advice. I agree.

I see lots of people throw plastic worms, but not pay attention to their line or what's going on around them. Make sure you watch your line at all times for subtle twitches and set the hook on everything you think may be a fish. Usually when your worm hits the water, the line will go out as the worm sinks, and then as a bass grabs it on the drop, the line twitches quickly out an inch or two. You slowly reel in a little or slowly raise the rod tip to feel the pressure. SET THE HOOK! Don't think it's a weed and be afraid to get entangled. If you don't set the hook, or sit and wonder about it, you'll miss the fish for sure.
