Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cal's Worm Kit?

Cal's Worm Kit is Capt. Cal Kellogg's cold-water trout setup built around Trix Worms soft plastics. Cal assembled it for the winter bite, when plastics fish especially well, giving you the worm-based arsenal he wants tied on as the water cools and trout slow down.

Who designed Cal's Worm Kit?

Captain Cal Kellogg, known for his time on Collins Lake, put this kit together. It reflects the soft-plastic worm program he leans on in winter, so you fish the same style of setup a veteran guide trusts when the water turns cold.

When is Cal's Worm Kit best?

It is a winter kit. Cal built it for cold water, when soft plastics like Trix Worms consistently produce and faster presentations slow down. If you fish for trout through the colder months, this is the worm-focused arsenal Cal wants on the line.

How do you fish Cal's Worm Kit?

Fish the Trix Worms for trout in cold water. Soft-plastic worms shine when the bite slows, so present them slowly and let the tail action do the work. Cal built this setup specifically for that winter pattern, so lean on a patient, methodical retrieve.

How do I restock the worms in Cal's Worm Kit?

Keep fresh plastics on hand with Trix Worms 3 inch 5 Pack. Soft-plastic worms tear and lose their tail action after fish, so having spares means you can swap in a fresh worm and keep the subtle wiggle that draws cold-water trout throughout the day.
