I didn't watch it all. Were they putting them on bare hooks or tipping jigs? My dad used to raise them to sell in his barber shop. Them and red worms for bream fishing
They never did say. Looked like they were spider rigging with a single jig. At the very end of the show the announcer said they were fishing an elementary pattern in 4 feet of water with wax worms. Ronnie Capps mentioned it was hard to bait a hook and be quiet in such shallow water. I assume they were tipping a jig.

TIPPING JIGS BLUE/PURPLEQuote:

They were fishing in 4 ft of water, single jig like Thump said and tipping it with a wax worm. Have seen them do that before on Reelfoot.

Capps and Coleman may have single handedly regenerated the wax worm business in Mississippi.
I’ve caught a few crappie with wax worms while bream fishing at Reelfoot. Always considered it a surprise.

We tipped jigs with wax worms on Butla a few years ago. The water was high and we fished places you can’t normally get to. Flat wore out some slabs with them. They wouldn’t touch the jigs that weren’t tipped

Well, just learned something else...I'll be buying some wax worms this Spring!
Should be the same as tipping with a nibble
They may have been using those "Butter Worms". They look like a wax worm on steroids and cost about a nickle apiece. I can't afford them for redears/gills but I'm sure Capps and Coleman can afford any of them.
THEY PROBABLY HAVE A SPONSORTHAT SUPPLIES THEM .
