basspro215 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I've heard and seen them but what kind of water would you fish them and whats the best way to rig them Quote
Uncle Leo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I like adding a nail weight on in the tail end. Hook it 3/8 from the top and Tex Pose hook it. It will stand vertical. Drag it. This is a good finesse presentation around sparse weeds. Quote
mrbassky Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Weedless texas rig and work them like a fluke for me. Lots of ways to use them adding a little weight usually gets more bites if your not real shallow. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted February 23, 2010 Super User Posted February 23, 2010 Wacky style with a 1/32 tungsten slip sinker on them. Off the edge of a grass bed works for me. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 I use them this way in all conditions and depths to 30' so far: Quote
basspro215 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 I'm kind confused by that rig in the pic Quote
kikstand454 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 the trick worm can do anything. i texas rig them.. i carolina rig them.. i shakey head them... its endless. one of the greatest little worms ever. just put it on a hook.... itll catch something. Quote
Georgia Jeff Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 If I could only fish one bait in the world it would be a trick worm. Here is how I rig them... weightless on a 3/0 ewg hook- Twitch your rod tip to the side with three or so quick twitches and the bait will move through the water like a slithering snake, then kill it and let it sink----Deadly! They almost always hit on the fall. If you use a smaller lighter hook they will almost float. weighted with a 1/8th oz. bullet wieght. Fish it just like you would any other weighted plastic. weightless wacky rig- when they have hammered it so much it is torn on one end. Just throw it and let it sink, twitch it a few times, let it sink. Black and junebug red are awesome colors for Zoom trickworms. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 Texas rigged,either weighted or not.I fish them anywhere and any kind of water.Have had great fun pitching one on top of lily pads.Reel in slowly,this makes the pad move.Then let it drop in a hole and get ready!Good Luck.

Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 The Zoom Trick Worm is probably one of the best plastic worms every produced. Hook it any way you like. It flat catches bass. I like to rig it Texas style behind a short Carolina type rig, with a light 1/16 oz. sinker. A deadly finesse approach. But there are many ways to use it. Quote
breakyourrod Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 The Zoom Trick Worm is probably one of the best plastic worms every produced. Funny you say that because I have caught fish on every other trick worm I have used except the Zoom. I use/have used tons of trick worms. I have 2 bags of Zoom trick worms and have used them over and over with no bites. They look and act no different than the others but I just cant catch a fish with them. I no longer keep them with me when fishing. Quote
grizzly1654 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I use them this way in all conditions and depths to 30' so far: Is tha a piece of shrink tube? Quote
Captain Obvious Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Fish it any way you can imagine and it will catch fish I believe that it is better than a turd looking senko (Now I'm going to bunker down because when the senko lovers read that there going to freeeeak...........but I'm ready for them ) lol ;D Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 I like them in shallow weedy conditions when bass are shallow and need a very slowly falling lure. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 I like zoom's trick worm in white, bubblegum, and more natural colors too, rigged with a 3/0 EWG gammy, thrown on 8 pound test with spinning gear. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 But as the others have said, with a nail weight you can fish them deeper, with casting gear and heavier line. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 Even better than Zoom's Trick worm is Creme's original Scoundrel in the 6" size. Wild flicking action. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 grizzly, yes that is 1/4" electrical shrink tubing. I add it when fishing in heavy vegetation, timber, and around docks. It keeps the hook eye in the bait when it's being pulled thru stuff. Quote
Jason Penn Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I fish trick worms t-rigged with 1/4-3/8oz tg weight. I use junebug or green pumpkin. I rarely use any other worm. I have fished them weightless but have not had much luck. Quote
