Worm Suggestions

NetBait C-Mac!!! My favorite worm by far. Great action, durability, and price. They also have a fairly slow fall rate, even when rigged on a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce Texas rig. I find that bass will hold on to them a lot longer and strike harder than compared to an ol' monster. I think that you should really consider picking a pack up to try for the $3 bucks they cost.

Thanks for the tip. They're basically a power worm with more colors to choose from. I'll try them for sure.

This is going to be the main worm I use this year.  I just started using their b bug this year and did very well on it.

I've been really impressed by netbait. At first I thought that they were just another brand like Big Bite Baits (which I love) that copied other brands and made cheaper lures, but boy was I wrong. The dirt dawg is an extremely original lure, and they invented the Paca Craw. Big Bites has also put out some original lures like the warmouths, squirrel tails, and real deal craws.

Berkley Powerbait Worms in motor oil color have worked everywhere for me, texas rigged with a 3/16 bullet weight. I know they aren't the "cool" or "trendy" brand, but they work and the price can't be beat.

That may not be a correct statement? Wacky Worm was selling them before Netbait from what I remember.

The majority of my worms are Rage Tail or Zoom but I'm adding Roboworms in there slowly but surely. I like them a lot for my drop shotting and shakeyheads as an alternative to some of the zoom worms I use.

have you tried the new z drop worms from zoom?

Just as good as roboworms on shakey head or drop shot just not as many colors

I wasn't even aware of those! I'm definitely going to check them out. As for the colors, they have enough for me. Thanks for the heads up!

[MacP]

+1 on the Z drops.  I drop shot those and Roboworms almost exclusively.

 

To the OPs question:

 

Dropshot:  Roboworms in Bold Bluegill, SXE Shad, Aaron's Magic, Kerrlicious, Warmouth. Zoom Z-drop in Green Weenie and Green Pumpkin.

Shakey head:   Zoom Finesse and Trick Worms.  I use loads of colors, Green Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Watermelon are staples though.

Wacky Rig:  Senkos, Yum Dingers, Trick Worms.  Same Colors apply here.

Split shot:  (I fish flukes here too, but you're asking about worms)  Roboworms,  Dead Ringers, Ultravibe Speed worms.   Heavy split shot speed worm can be fished like a swim jig at a lower depth.

Texas Rig:  Zoom Ol Monster, Mag IIs, Trick Worms, Finesse Worms, Ultravibe Speed Worms, Senkos, Yum Dingers.

 

 

If you're looking to just try new things out.  I can't recommend Roboworms enough..  They are soft, but they flat catch fish.  I have as much confidence in them as I do any other product on the market.  There is a reason both the fat and straight tail version never leave ***'s best seller list.

 

My top three worm votes:

Roboworm, Zoom Mag II, Trick Worms.

When the bite gets tough I have two go- to- worms: a Zoom 4" dead ringer and a Zoom utail. I have caught so many fish on these throughout the years It's unreal.

[Toeshots]

I still the love the 7" Power Worm in Blue Fleck or Black w/Blue Fleck.

Bought several packs of Roboworms which I'll be trying on Shaky Head and the T-Rig this year. Can't wait to get them in the water.

4" dead ringer on a c rig murder em for. me and the 6 & 8" dead ringer are my number 1 t rig bait

[Darren.]

Wow. Tons of suggestions, what to do?!

 

Me, I throw GYCM Senkos, I throw BPS Stick-O's. I like both, catch fish on both. Not so much Yum brand, but they've caught me fish, too.

 

I stick to "standard" colors in green pumpkin and watermelon, had most success on watermelon magic, watermelon + hot pepper frog....

[Insanity]

Manns jelly worm? Didn't they have a flat tear dropped shaped tail.

I used to use one like that weightless when nothing was biting. Or when the fish are really up shallow against the bank. (Black bass farm ponds.) Just a little twitch of the rod makes it come to life like crazy. And so do the fish. They couldn't stand it.

I did have an old boy skunk me good one day. With a new worm years ago. The tail was wide like rage tail. But ribbon. For some reason they where eating it up and they wouldn't touch the same color culprit worm. I never got a bag as I was trying to get off the Texas rig a little. And none of his fish where over two pounds.

If you like the Gary Yamamoto baits then get yourself some Kut Tail worms. They produce for me always when I want something finesse.

[rippin-lips]

I don't throw many actual senkos. Stick baits would of been a better choice of word. A lot of great info in here. I'm just wanting to try new styles of worms other then senkos for T rigs.

Thanks to anyone that's given suggestions.

 Tie on a 10 inch Black Berkley Power, a black 1/4 ounce tungsten bullet weight and a 5/0 EWG worm hook and you'll be fishing a bait that's been a big bass stable for over 20 years.

 

The classic ribbon-tail design has a life-like swimming action when twitched or on the fall.

 

The soft texture enhanced by the Power scent and flavor formula just works and once bit is rarely rejected.

I've never fished a shakey head. I can't stand slow finesse presentations. I won't throw a weightless worm very often because it takes to long to get to the bottom. Even when I fish wacky it's on a weighted jig head.

Worm fishing is a slow finesse presentation, watching the grass grow slow. Wtless  finesse worm and fluke fishing is one of my better techniques. Try this especially during spawn, but it has to be slow ,with accurate presentation. Have to slow down to worm fish, good luck.

I'm right there with you. My number one night bait is a 8" big dead ringer

[Sherlock 60]

Try some 7" Yamamoto Cut Tail worms. They are usually my second choice after the good old 5"Senko.
