🎣 How to Fish the Family Fishin™ Round Trout Worm.


•     .18" diameter
•     2.95" long
•     Smooth sides for subtle action

Quick‑Start Steps


•     Gear Up: Ultralight rod • 2–4 lb line • #10 Aberdeen fine‑wire hook
•     Pick Your Rig:
•     Split‑shot for slow, natural sink
•     Float rig to hover above cover
•     Dropshot for holding in current
•     Rig It Right:
•     Thread straight from the nose for a natural profile
•     Wacky‑hook mid‑body for extra flutter


    ✂️ Pro Tip: Cut the worm into halves or thirds for micro‑presentations when trout are finicky


•     Work the Water:
•     Slow retrieve with light twitches
•     Pause often to let the worm glide
•     Keep eyes on your line for subtle takes
•     Match the Hatch:
•     Clear water → natural tones
•     Murky water → brighter, high‑visibility colors

🧰 Tackle Box Checklist


•     Extra #10 Aberdeen hooks
•     Small split‑shot weights
•     Selection of floats
•     Multiple worm colors for varying conditions
•     Hemostats or pliers for safe hook removal

🌊 Situations Where It Shines


•     Stocked ponds where trout have seen every bait in the book
•     Shallow streams with wary, line‑shy fish
•     Early mornings and overcast days when trout cruise the shallows
•     When downsizing matters — cut sections can out‑fish full worms in pressured waters

🎯 Hook‑Set Tip


Keep a slight bend in your rod tip and lift firmly when you feel a tap or see the line jump. Trout mouths are soft — steady pressure, not a hard jerk, will land more fish.
