How to fish the worm

Don't like doing it myself so here is a link where you should get all your information

the 2 plastic beads are free moving on about 8/10" of line, held between 2 swivels.

the hook line is lighter because, its better to lose a hook than 2 swivels and a jumping jack, if you get caught up in a snag.
the jack you use depends on the height of the river. you want your worm to be moving down river as slow as possible.
last week on the Clare i was using a 40grm jack when the water was high. yesterday i was using a 20grm as the river was a lot lower.

if i have big black heads i use only 2, but i sometimes use 4 if the worms are small.

everybody hooks their worms on differently. i usually put the hook in where the ring on the worm is. i hook it in and thread about an inch of worm on to the hook, i then slide it up over the hook and onto the line. i do this for the first 2 worms. the last worm i hook it on the same way, but this time i only slide it up the hook and not up the line.

i don't know if plastic worms work. Ive never seen anybody using them.

in the picture i have the 2 worms to far up the line.
they should be down closer/touching the top of the hook.
when salmon fishing you need a good bunch of worms on.
they all wont fit on the hook so you need to slide some up the hook a bit.
always make sure the tip of your hook is not covered.
when the worms are on you can carefully slide your hand over the worms and
see if the hook catches your hand.

out of interest where on the Clare do you fish.
