Thanks

Ditto. That's the short uncomplicated answer.

I fish the two differently though. I use "swimming tail" worms for swimming retrieves, and straight tails for mostly non-swimming retrieves: crawling, on the fall, wacky, ...

The U-Tail is a small slim worm I use for finesse presentations. I like larger swimming worms much of the time though. All swimming worms I boil the tails so they swim at the slowest speeds -the U-Tails especially bc they come a little stiff.

Thank you Catt and Paul & Angler 1, opposite responses but interesting to know, maybe I needed to say how different i must work with the same rig, it means Texas Rig for both.

You don't really need to change a thing. The U tail may work better on days when the bass want something with less action. Have at it, don't get into a rut, try some different retreives. What works for you in your waters may be different from another area. Don't be too confined by the "rules".

One more thing to try with the Trick Worm is to cast it on top of Lily Pads and pull it slowly across the tops,letting it drop in between pads.Good Luck!

Trick worms are my favorite to use on a light shakeyhead jig. Gives them a little different look than T-rigged. Good luck.

i find that the best way to determine how to work a bait is to fish them in a swimming pool , if you have access to one , i practice jigs , texas-rigged plastics , crankbaits , swimbaits , etc.. in the pool to see exactly how the bait is reacting and get the action down so when i fish it for real , i have that action perfect ....
