Sauron 14 Report post Posted December 3, 2017 I have tried minnows and worms for specks. I was thinking about wax worms. Have any of you tried wax worms for specks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted December 3, 2017 Wax worms work. Trying to find them is hard though. I use Berkley wax worms and they work, too. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TroutHunter 39 Report post Posted December 3, 2017 I wonder if pet stores would carry wax worms for lizards, turtles, etc? Quote ** People often ask me why I like hunting and fishing so much...

Thefishleclair 175 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 Try some strips of liver, Jig em up or even dead sticking. I always wanted to try it. The specks were all raised eating pellets and after smelling some I figured a liver strip would work decent. Quote Grumpas' Baits Check it out on FB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 I usually use small minnows on a set line. If just a minnow isn't working I tie on a small gold Williams wobbler (no hook) then tie about 8" of line to a hook below it. As the minnow swims it makes the spoon dance acting as a flasher. Jigging I use small panfish style tube jigs or buck shot rattle spoons. If that doesn't work I go home and drink. 1 Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
