Use a power baits by Berkly, there is sprays and other things you can put on rubber worms and other lures too. Fish slower for bass when it gets cold too.

I just use a rubber worm hook and a rubber worm, no sinker at all. It looks more real and acts more real than a Carolina rig or Texas rig.

Live bait is always best though, just remember. Big bait big fish, little bait little fish.

Like i said in your other question about the topwater propeller baits, that applies to this question too! If your going to be using plastic worms i would go with the plastic night crawler (natural worm color) rig them texas style on and offset hook, no weight added (unless fishing deeper water), just cast them out let them slowly fall to the bottom. If you see your line moving in any direction then you know something has taken the worm, give it a few seconds (reel in your slack line) and set the hook. Not much to it. You can also twitch the worm, hop it, or drag it, you could even wacky rig it, experiment until the fish let you know what they want. This is really effective around weeds and stumps. Good Luck, and dont forget about those top water lures.
