    The giggy

    Love the giggy stick in green pumpkin and watermelon for clearer water. I fish them with a 3/0 split shot a foot or so above the worm...the giggy floats/suspends well above submerged hydrilla and tears the bass up this way. NOTE: the giggy stick is on the discontinued/close out list. My local bass pro shops now no longer carries them so I've been stocking up online. It's getting harder these days to find tube worms on the market. An alternative I may try is to fish a tube bait in the same way...and there's plenty of tubes to choose from. I will also add that I fished a tube worm back in the 70s with the same solid head, egg sac and hollow body with tenticle tails. I only have 30 and won't fish them. Knight lures I believe made these and they are an awesome tube worm. I would buy these in bulk if they were just available.

    I was just in the new store Stringers on the way to Rough River and he had a bunch of them on the shelfs if you are looking for them. I bought a bag of the motoer oil to try.

    Never heard of "Stringers" and didn't find them online. Any contact info would be greatly appreciated. And we're you referring to the giggy sticks or the Knight tube worms?

    Gambler also makes a shakey style head for them in a couple popular sizes. Pretty sure they are called giggy heads. Bought a few a little while back and have had decent luck with them the few times i managed to convince myself to slow down enough to give 'em a shot. I personally like the Strike King 3x finesse worms for shakey fishing though. Might have to try these sometime.
