ID:	8458Hi all,fishing has been rekindled in my life after a 35 year absent. Retirement is closely in my future and the grandkids have a interest in fishing.
Fished regularly years ago, Beaver Dam in Peabody, Rough River,Nolin,Guist Creek,and Green River.Recently bought a boat,wanted a new outfit but the sticker price.Bought used saving about $15K,Nitro175SF with 150 evinrude and equipped.
Lost most of lures and tackle to moving and home floods.
My question is what is recommended for worm fisihing? I do have several baitcasting outfits,what about worms,hooks?
thanks,
I like to fish soft plastics with Gamakatsu EWG hooks. You can get other brands of 2/0-3/0 hooks in bulk 25-100 packs) pretty cheap as well. Spinning Reels have come a long way as well and you will find tat if you been out of practice with a baitcaster and wanted to jump back in that would be the way to go. Plus if a youngster was going to learn how to cast or reel some fish in you may have hooked for them it's a win win.
For soft plastics, I'm a fan of Zoom baits but use others like Culprit and Cabin Creek. I stay away from the some manufactures since they get pretty costly.
For Crankbaits I have more Bandit baits and Walmart carries several brands of these types of baits. Strike King has a little bit of everything and can compete with other lower cost baits. Yep you will be shocked if you see what Luckycraft and other premium baits cost now!!
