**Wave Worm tiki stick — practical tips for bass fishing**

- *Why it shines*: The tiki stick is a classic stick bait that excels in grass and around cover. Its subtle tail wiggle triggers bites when other plastics miss. 🐟
- **Rig options**:
  - **Weightless Wacky Rig**: 4–6 inch tiki stick on a finesse worm hook (2/0–3/0). Optional: an O-ring to keep the nose straight.
  - **Light Texas Rig**: 1/8 oz to punch through light weed, with a 3/0 offset worm hook and a small bullet weight.
- **How to fish it**:
  - Cast to the edge of grass or submerged structure. Let it sink slowly, then give small, deliberate hops and pauses to imitate a dying worm. In thick grass, drag it slowly along the grass line instead of popping it over the top.
  - For early winter: slow it way down, keep it near the bottom, and extend pauses; bass are more subtle but will strike if they feel the bait on the bottom.
- **Color and size tips**:
  - 4–5 inch stick worms work best for bass in most ponds and rivers.
  - Best colors: *Green Pumpkin*, *Watermelon with Red Flake*, *Chartruese Tail*.
- **Pro tips**:
  - Use a lightweight fluorocarbon leader to reduce visibility in clear water.
  - If you’re fishing dense grass, consider a weedless hook option or a small weight near the nose for better weed clearance.

- *Weather note*: In the early winter bite, slow everything down and target deeper edges or cover, where bass often winter. Patience pays off. ❄️🎣

Stay patient, stay sharp, and happy fishing! Let me know what water you’re hitting and I’ll tailor the rig for you. 💪
