Now that is something that might be worth pondering…
There might be a number of reasons bass eat large plastic worms including:
They resemble natural prey. Plastic worms are often shaped and colored to resemble real worms, some smelt-shaped minnows, or other forage that bass commonly eat. This triggers the bass's predatory instincts, and they strike the worm in an attempt to eat it.
They are easy to find. Large plastic worms are relatively easy to see in the water, even in murky conditions. This makes them an attractive target for bass, as they can easily home in on them.
They are easy to eat. The soft, pliable, slender body of a plastic worm makes it easy for bass to swallow. This is important, as bass are ambush predators that often strike their prey quickly and don't have time to chew it.
They are a versatile bait. Plastic worms can be fished in a variety of ways, including retrieved slowly through the water, twitched back and forth, or jigged up and down. This makes them a versatile bait that can be used in a variety of fishing situations.
Bass pro Gerald “Gman” Swindle has a different view on why bass eat large plastic worms, so take a few minutes and listen to his ideas…
