Thai Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 good ole 5" senko imitation works wonders for me, pumpkin esp Quote
chubaka Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Watermelon 5" senko for me, sometimes black and blue Quote

soccplayer07 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I would also add that a 4' and 6' have there place as well. Quote
shutupnfish Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Dingers, Wave Worms, more like them. Never fished the real deal Senko though. They're a tad bit pricey this ol' boy. From what I've read though I might be missing fish. I chunk a trick worm/trick worm magnum too. Dang ol' trick worms require a weight when I fish 'em. Or spinnin' tackle. Not a fan of sinkers and wacky wormin', weightless works best for me. Gave up spinnin' tackle a while back. Got wacky with super flukes a couple of times with a little success. Lot's of folks say they've done good with 'em. I guess when it comes down to it, you can get wacky with just about anything. Steve Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 23, 2010 Super User Posted February 23, 2010 The bass's favorite worm rigged wacky style is a Zoom Finesse worm. I catch the most and largest using them. Color does not matter to the fish. 2/0 Octopus hook, rigged weedless wacky. Quote

Red Bear Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 6 inch Kinami Flash in red shad and baby bass colors. also pretty much anything red shad works well for me Quote
INBasser Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Lake Fork Trophy Lures makes the best whacky worm on the market IMO. Its got a great design and its made to be used with a weighted ring that the hook goes through (The ring not the bait, giving the bait more use!) Took it out yesterday and caught my first bass of 2010 on it with the water temp being around 35 degrees. Quote
midnighthrasher Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 5" senko green pumpkin watermelon laminate Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 23, 2010 Super User Posted February 23, 2010 5" Senko, rigged with Goodys. I put a pictorial post on here last year on how to use these accessories with Senkos. Just do a search if interested. I use watermelon w/blk flake in clear water or pumpkin with blk flake in stained.

DWG1984 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 berkley dover crawler berkley wacky crawler I like the action on these thiner worms more than the senko style baits. Quote
Brian4618 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 My most productive is a ZOOM finesse worm (Watermelon), I use a 2/0 gamakatsu finesse wide gap hook, since its to small in diameter for an o-ring, I use an orthodontic rubber band (I use 2 for extra strength), otherwise, your worm aint gonna last you but 1 or 2 fish.

Shane Procell Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 There is the "Best" and then there is the rest. The Best is the Garry Yamamoto 5" Senko in any color. I use a O-ring so I can get more fish per stick. The reason it is the best is the density of the worm. Which is also its downfall cause it is more brittle than any of the others. The zoom trick worm has produced more fish for me and clients only because I use them more often (allot less expensive). I use a wide gap #2 hook. Just about any hook works for me. The "Wacky O-ring Tool" sold at Bass Pro is very helpfull when rigging the Yamamoto senko. Quote

Georgia Jeff Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Kicker Fish bait company makes a great wacky worm. It is shaped like a "T". It is basically a trick worm with another section stuck to it to form a "T". You then place your hook in this extra section and you don't have to mess up your bait. Crap, this is too hard to explain. Here is a link....... http://www.kickerfishbait.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=42 Quote
Smiths.R Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 5'' Senko for sure. I usually use baby bass, or pumpking seed. Quote
NorCalFishinguru Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Jackal Flickshake hands down. Rig it with a wacky jighead like they sell and twitch the slack so that your not actually bringing the lure forward but making the weighted head swing up and down like a pendulum. The worm twists and squirms with incredible action. If you can afford to lose a few more worms but you want more fish, rig the worm at a 90 degree angle. That is, push the point of the hook through the side of the worm, and bring it straight up through the top. The action is ridiculous Quote
whoopbazz Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Jersey rig worm with a size 1 hook. watermellon or junebug. Quote
basspro215 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I like that kicker worm and you could rig it weedless you guys should check it out Quote
OIFBasser Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I wacky rig just about every plastic I have. Whether it is a fluke, trick worm, senko, power worm, I even wack rig tubes. My favorite is a V&M centipede in watermelon/gold flake. Quote
Super User CWB Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 5" Senko type bait, Green Pumpkin/Red & Black Flake or Black/Red, Black/Blue Flake. I use 2 O-rings and criss-cross them so the hook is 90 degrees to the bait. Same as if you ran the hook thru the bait but you won't lose them when you set the hook on a bluegill or get a backlash where the line stops and the bait keeps going. Quote
Blade-Runner Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Zoom Trick Worm or Creme Natural Worm. Quote
