Zoom Finesse, Zoom Shakey Head worms and 4.5" Roboworms. Also try a Zoom lizard in the spring.

Another vote for Zoom finesse and trick worms. Trick worms most of the time, and the smaller finesse if the bite is slow.

btw with the 3x worms, do not leave them in the sun, in heat, or with other plastics in the same bad, those 3 situations will ruin the worms.

5" Gambler Dinger

4.75" Zoom Finesse worm

4.75-5" Zoom Shaky worm

the gamblers aren't used too much but they are awesome.

1...3X worms are so soft, they tend to Melt..

2..If you dip them in the clear JJ's, it will cause the scent to become tinted, i.e. the red shad makes JJ's clear, a reddish rose color....don't ask how I know this..lol

Instead, I would rub them down with Megastrike, and keep them in a zip lock baggie..

Without question, the Strike King Elaztech four inch finesse worm in coppertreuse color.

They are absolutely indestructible.  I've caught more than thirty fish on a single worm, and it still looked like new.  If you looked carefully you could see scuff marks on the surface from pickerel chewing on it.

A Strike King finesse worm will last until you lose it.

They do need to be prepped first.  They cannot be forced onto a bait barb, or a twist lock.

Heat a thin safety pin in a candle flame, and insert it into the nose of the worm to a depth of 3/4 inch or so.  It will melt the plastic, leaving a hole which will then receive the barb.

I prefer the ShakE2 jig heads from Megastrike.  Put the worm onto the barb with a small drop of super glue, and there it will stay.

Rig the worm weedless and you can dredge it through some pretty thick vegetation.  The only thing that will catch on  plant life is the knot.

The four inch worm is more like five inches long.

I guess I need to try some of the tricks to get a screw lock or post to go into a 3x worm.

I like em' but holy hell are they a pain to rig. I thought a barbed jig head like the strike king or bite me shakey heads would be the answer. Nope. Easier, but still a PITA

I have to agree with Primus, reaction Inovations flirt 6.95 (just about any color) and the 5 3/4" yami kut tail in purple brown laminate........ You tell anyone that fishes the res, I'll kill you!!!

i purchased zoom trick worms to try and use the shaky head more, but it it doesnt suspend off the ground like i thought it would.

Am i doing something wrong or should i try a roboworm?

Posted

That's a nice tip Fishing Rhino!

My favorites

Zoom 4" finesse

Berley Gulp Alive

Strike King 4" finesse

I've even been know to throw a sweet beaver on a shakey head rig

I fish them all, except the Strike kings, on an Ikey head.
