Fishing is a great pastime in almost any season of life. This hobby can be enjoyed by yourself or
with family and friends. Although catching a fish brings one much satisfaction and joy, it can
also be frustrating when you do not know how to properly bait your line to catch a fish. These
simple instructions will show you how to properly bait a hook with a worm. With these
instructions that dictate the proper techniques, you will feel like a professional fisherman in no
time.
1. Get your worms. PYou may purchase them worms at a local gas station (some gas
stations near lakes and large ponds sell them), a fisherman's shop, or dig them up from
the ground.
2. Get your hands dirty. DigOnce you have your worms, you will then need to dig around
into your worm container to get one worm.
3. Use one or more worms depending on size. If you are using small worms, you may
want to put two worms on your hook or cut the worm into two small pieces if you are
using long worms (like earthworms).
4. Spear your worm. Taking Take your worm and hook, spear the worm onto the hook and
slide it up until it reaches the top of the hook where the fishing line meets. Think of how
you slide a sock onto your foot when sliding the worm on the hook. L Try to leave a
small portion of the worm dangling off of the hook so that some of it can hang in the
water for the fish to see. WARNING: When spearing a worm with a hook, be careful not
to stab or poke yourself. The hook is very sharp and can cause injuries if used the wrong
way.

7. Cast your line. Depending on what type of fishing rod you are using, reelReel in your
line every 10-15 minutes to check to see if your bait is still on the hook. The better you
hook and secure your worm the less of a problem you will have with this.
