John's Journal... Entry 197, Day 1 KEN COOK ON BASS FISHING Swimming-Worm Technique EDITOR'S NOTE: Ken Cook of Meers, Oklahoma, a professional bass fisherman since 1983, and before that a fisheries biologist, won the BASS Masters Classic in 1991, as well as other B.A.S.S. events. Question: Ken, tell me about the swimming worm. When,
where and how do you fish it, and why is the rod you've developed best
for that lure? The rod I've designed for fishing the swimming worm is a 7-foot, medium-action graphite rod. It features a parabolic bend, makes long casts and holds the line up off the water. I usually fish it with FireLine, a swivel and about 1 foot of fluorocarbon line as a leader. I fish with a weightless, offset shank hook and a floating worm, a Power Bait Carolina Slug or something similar that I can twitch and sink slowly in the grass, around cover or wherever I think I'll locate bass. Question: Using this technique, walk me down the line.
What's your main line? Question:
What rod will you use? Question: What kind of action will you give the bait?
