I should probably add that all my fishing is casting from the shore as I don't have a boat, but I've seen videos where spinners and buzzbaits are just as effective being cast from shore. I guess my last question would be what kind of hooks for a smaller worm like a 4" are we talking like a 1/0 or a #1 or should I still throw a 4/0?
For texas rigging a standard 4 inch worm, i'd go with 2/0 or 3/0. For wacky rigging, you can use any normal baitholder hook, but an octopus hook works best, probably size 2/0. And yes, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits work great from shore, especially spinnerbaits. I've had a little luck with buzzbaits, but not much. I'd rather use a spinner or popper. And if you're strictly fishing ponds, buy a few white rooster tails (worden's brand). They are the ultimate pond bait in the warmer months. Just cast and reel.
