Small Roboworms

[annexation]

On a whim I picked up a few bags of 4.5"  straight tail Roboworms - I want to try dropshotting them next time I'm in a boat. I mostly fish from shore, though, and was wondering how you guys might consider rigging them in that kind of situation. I've never used them, or any small floating worm like them, so any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Trig 1/0 ewg hook and 1/32-1/8 oz weight for me. Shaker head does well also. I do love fishing light tackle and small baits, though.

Shakey head. Great bait

Slip shot rig (finesse C-rig) is a good choice from shore. Spinning tackle with 6-8 FC or mono line, Owner #5133 size 1 down shot hook, 1/8 oz mojo sliding weight with Carolina plastic keeper works good for finesse size Roboworms.

Start with about 24" weight above the hook.

when drop shotting I use the VMC spinshot hooks. I like them a lot.

 

you can nose hook the robo worms and it gives off lot of action. I actually thread the worm on the hook about 3/4 of an inch, not quite as much action but more fish per worm.

You may want to check but I don't think they float.

Fyi

Thanks for the ideas, guys. Appreciate it. And yeah, it looks like they aren't as buoyant as I thought they'd be - the bellies are loaded with salt on the front half of the worms. The tails look a little more floaty, though, but the worms definitely sink.

The salt release system used by the roboworm does seem deceptive at first. It will never flat out float on top of the water, but as the salt releases the worm will gain some bouyancy and the tail will float. Pre-soak the pack of worms if you wish to speed up the process.
