I.rar Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 has anyone fished the luck e strike razor worm? they look similar to the kinami cut tails (great bait trigged weightless on a 1/0ewg), but ive never seen them in person. are they durable? heavy? is there anything else similar to the cut tails?

Super User Fishes in trees Posted November 27, 2010 Super User Posted November 27, 2010 This past year I got some pretty good cut tail knock offs. The Bass Pro house brand. There were good color choices (all I needed in Missouri) they were pretty sturdy and they had good action. The Lucky Strike razor worms are more like Brewer slider worms, only a little thinner and straighter. I've got an assortment of razor worms, but they haven't seen the water for a couple of seasons for me. Quote

Super User Fishes in trees Posted November 28, 2010 Super User Posted November 28, 2010 Basically my issue with razor worms is that they aren't slider worms. I think if you're looking for a straight 4" worm, the slider worm is a better worm. It is a little thicker and stays on the hook better and lasts longer. The tougher plastic seems to have a little more subtle action. Also, I find I'm not fishing 4" worms all that much. The past few seasons my finesse fishing approach has changed. These days I'm much more likely to throw a wacky jig with a 5" to 7" worm. (current favorite is the Strike King elaz-tech worm, because it lasts so long) A second choice would be a shakey head with a Zoom trick worm or a power bait worm in a similar size. So, I don't think the razor worms are bad, I'm just not using them right now. Quote
brushhoggin Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 try a western weenie. cut/straight tails are what i go to as far as worms these days. the yamamoto cut tails are my favorite along with the western weenie. bass pro cut tails dont have the bulk that i think a bass appreciates Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted November 29, 2010 Super User Posted November 29, 2010 Take a Rage Thumper and cut the tail on the dotted line. Instant cut tail. Quote
