Randy, I’m 55 years old and have been bass fishing since I was 6 and it’s amazing to me how much I’m learning from you. This is the most informative channel out there and as a result, I have become a big fan of yours. I’m a golf professional by trade and understand the joy of teaching others and growing our perspective sports. Giving back is very rewarding and I can’t thank you enough for openly sharing your lifelong tips and secrets to help guys like me get pumped up to get to the lake and try your unique methods. I live in Virginia but grew up in Northwest Arkansas and visit my family of origin multiple times per year. In fact, I’ll be fishing a tournament with my brother next month on Beaver Lake and can’t get on the water fast enough. Can’t wait to watch your other videos!!! Keep them coming!!
@@jacobperez5977 this time of year you can catch those staging fish with a small swim bait (Kai-tech paddle tail style) with a 3/16 ball type jig. For bedding fish, you can target them with any flipping set ups with creature baits. If all else fails, put on a shaky head paired with a trick worm. Good luck!
Just k ow there are some of us out there that look foward to every one of your videos like me..I've learned so much from u and truly appreciate u sharing these secrets w me..looking foward to the next one..have a great day
Thanks Randy! I used this little trick back in 2007 to win a boat at a PVA tournament at Illinois’ Rend Lake. The guy that showed it to me said an “old man” showed it to him. You ever been at Rend?😂 btw,We didn’t cut the tail and soldered the swivel on the hook. That is a tip for you, it eliminates two knots!
I stumbled across your channel today at lunch. Needless to say the past 45 mins I've learned more from you than some others that I can watch for half the day here on yt. Thank you for the tips and taking the time to make these videos. I just wanted to let you know that us newer bass anglers appreciate it!
Really looking forward to your next video on floating worms Randy!! Seems like everyone around where I live are throwing a wacky rigged senko as soon as that first good prespawn bite starts to die off. This is something I want to go to so I can give the fish a different look. Love what your doing it means so much to guys who can't get on the water all the time and figure stuff out in their own due to work and family!! Can't express how much we appreciate what you and Jonny are doing!!
Good Luck Randy !! You got this Bass tournament remember catch the bass the you know are there for bass adds up as you catch them !! You got the know how so just put it all together and you will win the tournament !! Keep your eyes focused on the line and set the hook !! Stay positive and keep smiling always !!!
Super great. You tube. Video. Randy. You are a. Great. Pro. Fisherman. And. Teacher. We think you are one of the. Best pro. Fisherman. In the. Country. Mr. Blanket. Gene. From. The California. Delta.
Great tips Randy! I hadn’t thought about splitting the tail. I use a heavy barrel swivel also, but hadn’t thought about the open hook either straight shank. I do leave the crook in mine like you do with the EWG. My partner and I were both fishing floating worms last year. He didn’t have a swivel and had his t-rigged and straight. My worm had so much more action. I was firing a school up and he couldn’t get a bite. Thanks for the tips!
That kink in the worm is paramount. I figured that out awhile back then saw your video and realized other guys were doing it that way. I was not bringing my hook all the way thru the worm but will try it your way as the way I do it you have to adjust the hook every cast or two. The kink is key to get that side to side action. This technique got me a lot of big fish in a weed choked lake that everyone else gave up on. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Randy for all the information on the floating worms. I bought a pack of the white and yellow zoom floating worms years ago and never really knew how to use them. They’ve been through several tackle box changes and considered about storing or throwing them away. Now with your very informative video I will give them a considerable use. Thank You!
Really appreciate all your tips and stories. You are really the only one giving info that nobody else is. Ive been watching videos and seminars for years and no one is giving the type of info you provide. We appreciate it and hope for great success for you. By the way, you date yourself by saying sinker lol, just kiddin you. Keep it old school!
Thanks so much for the tips. I tried a bright-colored floating worm for the first time last spring and nailed a few nice ones on my little pond up here in New Jersey. I'm all iced in now but when it thaws I'll be slinging it. Thanks for all the great tips.
Loved the tips!!! I absolutely love throwing a floating worm!!! I learned a new trick to try with the smaller exposed hook and splitting the tail! Thanks!!!
That tournament you finished 3rd. I remember I was about 12, read about you using the floating worm, tried it the next wkend and had one of the best days I've ever had bank fishing. I'll always remember that day, thank you for that!
Well, everyone was asking, and the man provided! Thanks for sharing. Tell everyone that as technology progresses, our chance for new secrets and creative ideas will expand. Sharing your secrets will not kill the sport. Now, more and people using electronic imaging, that is a whole another discussion.
Thanks for sharing some of your top secrets that you’ve learned through the years. I’ve never fished this style of Floating Worm so I will need to give it a try. I’ve fished that type of Trick Worm but not the way you have described here. Thanks again!!!
I saw this setup in an issue of Bassmaster magazine in the early ‘90s, it’s been a killer for me ever since. I like fishing a white trick worm in Spring around stumps and lay downs. The bite is usually crazy aggressive. I remember thinking how cool it was to see it in the magazine, apply it on the water and it working. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Would love for you to do some videos for deep clear highland reservoirs. Our water is clear as bottled water. You can see the bottom 15-20' deep. Enjoy the videos.
First read about the barrel swivel in 1967 or so . Caught a 5 pounder on a zebco 404. Have used your type of hook presentation and it's good. But there is a better way. Agree on it being exposed
So I randomly stumbled on this video, only been fishing for the last 3 years. Live in North CA. Went moon fishing the other night and tried this exact set up. My buddy was fishing for 3 hours before I arrived l. Second cast BOOM fish on! All night I was slaying them! Thank you for the secret! Will always keep this in my arsenal now! Subscribed! Thank you!
You Rock Randy! Secrets or not, not all of us can be Pro anglers or fish big money tournaments, some of us just fun fish or club fish and the tips are awesome! See you fish since the ole Bassmaster days, always been a fan! Your channel works, just look at your views and subscribers rate!
Great video I float stuff a big percentage of the spring for Largemouth, Smallmouth and Kentuckys on Lke Cumberland especially during the spawn. In my opinion its extremely underrated and I've never known why.. I guess it's because it's not a big power technique but neither is a drop shot and people love that for whatever reason. I do know when things are right you can put big bags together doing it. Thanks for the content, good job!
Been watching your career for years!! Love you attitude An how well you have represented professional fishing!! You just keep it real!! Love the tips too!!!
These pro tips are great. The info packed into each video seems like something I really could imagine having to pay for. Thanks! I'm learning so much from watching your channel, I turned my adblock off so I could at least give back a little with ad revenue. Thanks again.
Weightless t-rigged Baby Bass trick worms is probably my #1 fish producer. Good tips with bait modification & barrel swivel. I normally use offset worm hooks to keep a streamline profile, I'll have to put a crick in it and see the difference.
We really appreciate all your help it's very important to pass on your knowledge it helps the spot tremendously please keep up the good work and advice it means a lot to us more than anything thank you very much 🙏
I'm getting a late start on this particular video. I have been fishing a floating worm for years, and never thought about some of the things you have shown me. Since moving to TN from GA I haven't had as much success on this presentation though. When I started I used the Bubblegum Trick Worms but have experimented with other colors. Now since I have been kayak fishing lately in smaller creeks I will be using this more often. Thanks for the information and your years of experience.
That’s awesome your showing us your vaulted secrets .. don’t think it goes unappreciated... thank you so much from a struggling weekend bass angler .. your experience is platinum
I love your tips and advise......I thing I would like to see Is a different (further back) camera angle showing more of the baits/table or items you soaking about. Thanks
I really like the why behind each of your tips... obviously you have a wealth of knowledge... thanks for sharing... your a great communicator and teacher... great videos for those of us who want to fish and get results...
Thank you for sharing these tips. Now I'm going to add the split tail mod to my presentation immediately. BTW, the floaters are superb for Neko rigging, too. .Keep the vids coming, they're great.
These vids are always super informative. It might be beneficial to always provide hyper/links to every item you mention to spur sales. Imitation the highest form of flattery. Making it easy to click/pay could generate sales especially for the newbies. Thanks for info!
I caught a 19lb bag using a pink magnum trick worm while fishing a BFL on Guntersville. It was mid April and most were throwing shad spinnerbaits for post spawners. I lost SB early and pick up the worm just twitching through the grass. Started catching them in 2-4' of water and the boater eventually went to deeper water so I put a little lead on my hook to get it down to the grass top. My boater didn't want a worm and after it was over I told his buddies I whipped hit with a pink worm and throwing a sissy stick.
Not to cause further work for you but it would be awesome to see the bait mods up close on the water. How they move your cadence etc. Just being greedy I guess. Thanks for your time!
Yeah I plan to do more tips when it starts warming up a little bit this spring out on the water. Most of my water time right now is either in instructional lessons or tournaments
I first learned about the floating worm from watching Roland Martin on tv back in the 1990s. He called it "the bubble gum worm technique" & I still have bubble gum-colored Zoom Trick Worms in my tackle bag to this very day. I use other colors for shaky head or other presentations, but for the floating-swivel deal, I always go to bubble gum. All that being said, I have never seen the splitting of the tail... gonna have to try it!
Well now you've done it! I do cut the head off of the worm and give that square starting point. And I have used a straight shank hook in a very similar way to what you're doing. And of course the traditional way with the ewg hook but I do tex pose my hook point. And yes I do use a swivel but a very tiny one. I'll have to try the larger swivel that makes a lot of sense. What I haven't done is use the very bright colored worms. Traditionally black green pumpkin and maybe the brightest where my use would be morning dawn or something similar to it. And once in awhile if nothing else works I might try a pink worm just because. So you've added to my trick Arsenal thank you very much I'm going to try it the next time I'm out on the local pond. Oh yeah and splitting the tail that is dynamite ... never thought to do it The water is just under 50 degrees right now so it's getting to that point. Thanks again Randy you the man!
Awesome stuff. Great info. I plan on trying that technique a lot this year. I know it must be killing you to give some of these secrets away, but we sure appreciate it. Thanks Randy
I use the red bug original trick worm on a basic texas rig as my confidence lure but to see something so simple as splitting the tail.... I'm freakin' mind blown. Another great video! Love this channel!
You got it sir 🙏 I completely agree with you if it helps you provide for you beautiful family and helps people catch fish something we love to do. Thanks 😊
I watched this video last week and decided to give it a try. I ordered the pink floating worms from Tackle warehouse. I got the hooks and the swivels at the Cabela’s in St. Louis. I rigged it up like you showed but I only put on a 8 pound. Big mistake. I caught a hog while standing on my overflow. I wasn’t sure what I had and I really didn’t know for sure after I saw it. It turn to be a huge largemouth bass but it had absolutely no color what so ever. It’s body was just about the same color as its mouth. You could tell it was coming out of cold water. I got it right up to the side of the spillway put my hand down the grab it in the line snapped.but thank u, it was my first fish of the year
Awesome job rainy I am a Mega bass freak I am switching out everything I own 2MB I just tried to purchase the levante enforcer haven't got it yet but I have15 mega bass rods now from destroyer down to levante. Keeping coming love this stuff good job brother.
Fantastic way to improve floating worm fishing. I've been bass fishing for over 50 years and I am always ready to learn something new. I live in S FL and fish Lake Okeechobee a lot, looking forward to using this new learned technique. I subbed and look forward to your future videos. 🎣
I've got real big in finesse game...especially ned rigs and wacky rigs to drop shots and finesse shakey heads...I use flukes similar necko rigged and really love floating worm its a secret I've held for long time...the cutting split tail cpl inches makes alot of sense! Question have u even tried using a Z-man worm for top water? I love zoom best for shakey heads and KVD strike kings to bigger robbos...really love the zoom trick worm on shakey heads and floating worms....I like mine to have that spook action and natural dart. My home waters is HIGHLY pressured 14k lake. Not huge and next to Louisville KY so gets alot of traffic. Noticed in tourneys mixing 50 50 with power baits and finesse has been a great ticket to making money. Definitely have to try splitting the tail. Thanks for the info as well. I was throwing mine mainly on A 2OT ewg t rigging like in second description but need to try the zg finesse. Already have the 1ots and smaller for drop shotting so mise well try it out. White kills it on my murky lake and u get activity and good numbers even in murky water using this tactic just like using a ned rig though when I hook the. I let em take it a hair and don't horse em and tend to do good lowering my drag some. Great video
Randy, if you dont mind do a lesson on fishing deep clear lakes in the south. The one I fish is in North AL, and would like some info on tricks for summer clear lake bass.
Thanks for sharing this with us and I have some of these zoom trick worms and the gamakatsu 1/0 hooks (bought these from what you have mentioned in a prior video) - can't wait to get out and try this (started a new job and I have been busy) and your channel is one of my favorites to watch (Hagerty is another, he builds and restores old cars and motorcycles) and I always look forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you sir!! :)

What lures use on beaver lake? I never have any luck

You've become pretty much my favorite YT channel.
Thx Dwight!
x2
I second that. Definitely my favorite right now
. Sorry Kevin I 3rd that.
You can’t get this kind of fishing info in very many social media outlets.... good stuff. I’m pretty sure some pros ain’t liking this kind of Intel!!!
I know after a long hard day at the Salt mines, I can always come home and listen to my buddy, a professional angler. Thanks Randy
This channel has become an addiction, dream information that is being provided!
Thanks Brett!
That’s pretty generous of you too give away the tips I really enjoy these videos!
This is quickly becoming my favorite fishin channel
Great video Randy! My Grandson Bryce and I watched the video and thanks for sharing your fishing tips, we'll use them on or next bass fishing trip!👍🐟🎣

Great tip Randy, the floating worm won more tournaments on Clark’s Hill by far than any other bait. Thanks for your videos!
I think next would be the trap on Clark's hill it's good also
I love all these videos! Great tips without all the stupid filler.
Pink zoom has been one of my confidence baits for a long time

Merthiolate and limetreuse are my favorites. Definitely going to have to try the yellow and up my floating worm game with your rigging.

They’ve been through several tackle box changes and considered about storing or throwing them away. Now with your very informative video I will give them a considerable use. Thank You!
I'm gonna start throwing this bait sooner like you said if it catches bigger bass I'm all for it !

First video in the history of RUclips with no ‘thumbs down’. 😁 People from all walks of life recognizing the power and value of Randy’s tips! 👍🏻🥓
Much appreciated!
Would love for you to do some videos for deep clear highland reservoirs. Our water is clear as bottled water. You can see the bottom 15-20' deep. Enjoy the videos.
First read about the barrel swivel in 1967 or so . Caught a 5 pounder on a zebco 404.
Have used your type of hook presentation and it's good. But there is a better way. Agree on it being exposed
So I randomly stumbled on this video, only been fishing for the last 3 years. Live in North CA. Went moon fishing the other night and tried this exact set up. My buddy was fishing for 3 hours before I arrived l. Second cast BOOM fish on! All night I was slaying them! Thank you for the secret! Will always keep this in my arsenal now! Subscribed! Thank you!
You Rock Randy! Secrets or not, not all of us can be Pro anglers or fish big money tournaments, some of us just fun fish or club fish and the tips are awesome! See you fish since the ole Bassmaster days, always been a fan! Your channel works, just look at your views and subscribers rate!
Randy I noticed you have Bass thumb thats a sure sign that you have been catching alot of fish .Thank You for all the tips in your videos .
True confessions, with Randy Blaukat! Love it!

Great tips Randy would not have thought to split the tail or fish it as early as you mentioned but makes sense
My favorite YTube fishing Angling person. Thanks
The 1/0 roboworm rebarb hook works good on a floating worm too
Been watching your career for years!! Love you attitude An how well you have represented professional fishing!! You just keep it real!! Love the tips too!!!
These pro tips are great. The info packed into each video seems like something I really could imagine having to pay for. Thanks! I'm learning so much from watching your channel, I turned my adblock off so I could at least give back a little with ad revenue. Thanks again.
Weightless t-rigged Baby Bass trick worms is probably my #1 fish producer. Good tips with bait modification & barrel swivel. I normally use offset worm hooks to keep a streamline profile, I'll have to put a crick in it and see the difference.
Love these videos. It's like were sitting in my backyard drinking some beers talking fishing. Keep'em coming!!
Randy, thanks for giving up the goods. Can’t wait to try many of your tricks to catch more. Really appreciate. It. Thanks
Randy...Can’t thank you enough for sharing your tips, knowledge experience with us!! Spring can’t come fast enough!!
You the man Randy!!! Thanks for your tips. God bless you and your family.
Thank you sir for the video. Just caught a nice 3 pound bass at my small pond using your set up!
My man, I wanna let you know that I truly appreciate all the knowledge that you're sharing! Keep doing what you do! God bless you and your family!
Thx Rob!
Richard Gene does the exact thing on his floating worm. Thanks Randy for giving us soooo much info to help improve our fishing!!!!!

Thx Spencer!
Yes I do all the time
Thanks for sharing this information!!! Looking forward to seeing your tips every day!!! Going to give it a try
I watched this video last week and decided to give it a try. I ordered the pink floating worms from Tackle warehouse. I got the hooks and the swivels at the Cabela’s in St. Louis. I rigged it up like you showed but I only put on a 8 pound. Big mistake. I caught a hog while standing on my overflow. I wasn’t sure what I had and I really didn’t know for sure after I saw it. It turn to be a huge largemouth bass but it had absolutely no color what so ever. It’s body was just about the same color as its mouth. You could tell it was coming out of cold water. I got it right up to the side of the spillway put my hand down the grab it in the line snapped.but thank u, it was my first fish of the year
Great tips Randy, thank you, just so ya know , all these tips are much appreciated

Another great “Just The Tip!!”
Fantastic way to improve floating worm fishing. I've been bass fishing for over 50 years and I am always ready to learn something new.
I live in S FL and fish Lake Okeechobee a lot, looking forward to using this new learned technique.
I subbed and look forward to your future videos. 🎣
Thanks for your time and tips Randy
Good to see you Randy. I met you when you were in town years ago.
Have you made a video on using the Megabass Vision Jerkbaits..?
Caught a 4 pounder off a submerged tree in 8 feet of water on your floating worm setup yesterday, thanks for the modifications!
Hi Randy great tips really love your content take care....
Thanks Randy.improved my floating worm bites doing it your way!
I've got real big in finesse game...especially ned rigs and wacky rigs to drop shots and finesse shakey heads...I use flukes similar necko rigged and really love floating worm its a secret I've held for long time...the cutting split tail cpl inches makes alot of sense! Question have u even tried using a Z-man worm for top water? I love zoom best for shakey heads and KVD strike kings to bigger robbos...really love the zoom trick worm on shakey heads and floating worms....I like mine to have that spook action and natural dart. My home waters is HIGHLY pressured 14k lake. Not huge and next to Louisville KY so gets alot of traffic. Noticed in tourneys mixing 50 50 with power baits and finesse has been a great ticket to making money. Definitely have to try splitting the tail. Thanks for the info as well. I was throwing mine mainly on A 2OT ewg t rigging like in second description but need to try the zg finesse. Already have the 1ots and smaller for drop shotting so mise well try it out. White kills it on my murky lake and u get activity and good numbers even in murky water using this tactic just like using a ned rig though when I hook the. I let em take it a hair and don't horse em and tend to do good lowering my drag some. Great video
Randy, if you dont mind do a lesson on fishing deep clear lakes in the south. The one I fish is in North AL, and would like some info on tricks for summer clear lake bass.
Thanks for sharing this with us and I have some of these zoom trick worms and the gamakatsu 1/0 hooks (bought these from what you have mentioned in a prior video) - can't wait to get out and try this (started a new job and I have been busy) and your channel is one of my favorites to watch (Hagerty is another, he builds and restores old cars and motorcycles) and I always look forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you sir!! :)
Great work Randy. Love the channel!
How do you retrieve the floating worm? Like a soft jerk bait? Thanks for the information Randy.
Thanks Randy for the great information. Liked and Subscribed
Thanks Randy, I fish plastic worm all the time and never would have thought of this. It will be good here in Texas at my lakes. Thanks bro God bless
