Daddyodo Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I just bought some Zoom Ultra Vibe and Ol'Monster worms. Also bought a Johnson Silver Minnow. Has anybody had any experience with these? I guess I should have asked this before I bought them. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted August 18, 2010 Super User Posted August 18, 2010 Ultra vibes and Ol Monsters are some of the best worms Zoom makes. You'll like them. The Silver Minnow is a classic design. It still produces just as much today as it did in years past. Quote
airborne_angler Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Zoom Plastics.....any good Does a 10 lb bag of flour make a really big biscuit...? Quote

JKarbo214 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I have had a lot of success over the past few years using the Zoom 6" Lizards in Green or Pumpkin. The largemouth absolutely love them and it's a really fun way to fish! Quote
Triton21 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Just got a Email that Bass Pro has zoom on sale. Kelley Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 19, 2010 Super User Posted August 19, 2010 Zoom is easily the biggest soft plastics company. They make some great designs. Quote

David Rangel Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Sure they make good plastics, Ol' monster produce well some times the biggest of the day, I had used the Ultra vibe mag speed worm and is a good producer, as well all the lizards from 4" to 8" brush hogs, particularly the babies, Trick and finesse worms,I love the Big Dead Ringer is excellent worm, until today I don't know a bad zoom lure.

Daddyodo Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 Triton21, I know , I was just there today buying some. "So many worms so little time." Quote
Vinny Chase Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Zoom is the best plastics company in the world hands down. You bought some very good products. Quote
Quillback Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I used to fish Johnson silver spoon 20 years ago when I lived in the Northeast, they can be deadly dragged over lilly pad and the dropped on slack line so it flutters down when you pull it over the edge of the pads. Be sure to put a white Uncle Josh pork trailer on it. It's a good big bass lure when they are in the pads. Nothing like seeing the water bulging 10 feet away as a good bass starts to head for that spoon. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 19, 2010 Super User Posted August 19, 2010 With so many other options , it surprises me that Zoom plastics remain so popular. I don't own any and haven't fished one in more than a decade. Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 There are two rigs that I always have ready: 1 with a Zoom Ol Monster 1 with a Zoom Lizard These are the most fished and most successful baits I use, day in and day out. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted August 19, 2010 Super User Posted August 19, 2010 Yeah, they'll catch you fish, but no, they are not the best plastics company. Quote
Primus Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 "With so many other options, it surprises me that Zoom plastics remain so popular. I don't own any and haven't fished one in more than a decade." I'm not, they are very productive, readily available, have great action, reasonably priced soft plastics that are offered in a wide variety of colors. I also use some soft baits from Yamamoto, Strike King, Reaction Innovations, Roboworm to name a few but there will always be a place on my boat for Zoom. Some of my favorite Zoom baits... Super Fluke Ultravibe Speed Craw U tail Worm Trick Worm Centipede Finnesse Worm Baby Brush Hog Quote
piscicidal Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Ultra vibes and Ol Monsters are some of the best worms Zoom makes. You'll like them. The Silver Minnow is a classic design. It still produces just as much today as it did in years past. Those dead ringers are pretty good also, eh Eric? airborne_angler, The 10" ol monster and 8" dead ringer are my two worm fishing staples. I'll have a pack of each on the deck with me when fishing worms. The dead ringer has a larger profile with ridges. It displaces more water and has a slower sink rate. The ol monster has a sleeker profile and a faster sink rate. I let the fish tell me which one they prefer, but between those two I can usually get something going. I'd say half the fish I've got over 4lbs this year have been on the ol monster. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted August 19, 2010 Super User Posted August 19, 2010 My personal favorite line of plastics. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I grew up on Zoom plastics and have found no reason to change. I use some Strike King Rage products and some Big Bite Baits, but other than that, its always Zoom. And the Ol' Monster is my personal favorite! Quote

Super Fluke Ultravibe Speed Craw U tail Worm Trick Worm Centipede Finnesse Worm Yup. All of that. Especially the "reasonably priced" bit. And the Ultra-Vibe Speed Craw bit . Zoom Plastics.....any good[?] Was Soylent Green people? 8-) Quote
aarogb Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 The Ol' Monster has got to be the best ten inch worm on the market. Use Okeechobee Craw color and nothing will keep the bass off this worm. I will say this about the Ultra-Vibe worm though, I have had trouble getting the tail to spin consistently. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 you did good.. try the u-tail worm, trick worm, finesse worm and fluke... you'll be addicted they always produce and hard to beat for the price. Quote
brushhoggin Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Zoom Plastics......any good? does Rose Kennedy wear a black dress? Quote
