My first experience throwing a weightless worm was over 30 yrs ago. Night fishing from the bank on a small lake, I got a hard jarring strike on a 10" Culprit worm, reeling slowly over moss, 2ft from the bank. I was bank fishing alone, and that strike scared the cr... out of me. I've thrown weightless plastic worms ever since. I like all types of worms for this, and especially big worms as a topwater bait. The Culprit has been good for me on the surface. Zoom trick worms have been good casting near cover and letting them fall. I'm throwing Zoom lizards again this year, and plan on some weightless fishing with them too. I know many folks throw weightless stickbaits, but what are some other plastics that you like to throw? Do you throw craws and creature baits weightless also? I've had the best results by letting them fall slowly near any cover, give them a little movement, then reel up and cast again. I'm looking for fish to hit on the initial slow fall. What baits, hooks, colors do you like for weightless plastic fishing?
