BigMoneyGrip Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 What are some good floating worms? Thanks, Scott. Quote
Nick Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Zoom trick worms in the bright colors esp. merthiolate and bubblegum if you can deal with the light weight, or Gamblers if you need some heavier worms esp. some two tone models. When bass are both roaming for beds and when they are leaving the beds these can be awful good in the wild colors. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Zoom trick worms in pink, yellow and white. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Zoom worms do not float no matter what color they are. Just another myth passed on by the uninformed. The only ones I have tested that did are the Strike King 3X and the Renegade worms. All the ones laying on the bottom of this jug of water are Zoom Trick worms and some others that state"floating worms" on the package. Quote
Nick Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Duh, We've called them incorrectly "floating" worms forever just because we fish them weightless and snap them up near the surface. We actually like them to sink just a tad, Wayne. Quote
scbassin Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Anyone else still have the old superfloaters? They work. Quote
gobig Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Any Roboworm Roboworms sink until the salt has dissolved. This takes about 30 min in the water. I dropped a new one over the side and it went to the bottom. Later it floated up. Got on their website and there is a page that explained the salt release and how the worm responds. The salt is in the head of the bait so maybe the tail dose float up in the beginning I have never tested it. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 The only truly floating I have found is made by Rattlesnake bait co. They are very spongy and actually do float. I have a few bags of their finesse worms, but haven't seen them in a store for years. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Avalonjohn44, yes that one floats too. I forgot about that one. I gave my box of those away. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 The only ones I have tested that did are the Strike King 3X I have a few packages of the SK 3X and yes they do float quite well. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 QUAKEnSHAKE, the red lable 3X lures make very good Carolina Rig baits. The purple label 3X have salt in and on them so they sink somewhat. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 yeah I left out the packages I have are labeled SUPER FLOATING Ive caught a fair amount of bass with them using a split-shot about 6" up from hook. Quote

All the ones laying on the bottom of this jug of water are Zoom Trick worms and some others that state"floating worms" on the package. Good post. I've tried out numerous shake/finesse worms in my sink, and the only one I had that had any float to it was the Squirrel Tail worm, and only the tails float on that one. Powerbait also has a 6" pink floating steelhead worm that can float a heavy worm hook and works well in the slop. Quote
Stasher1 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Berkley's Power Shaky Worms may float as well. I typically have to round up pieces that wind up floating in the water after unhooking/releasing the fish. Quote
Beav Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 How about a oldie but goodie ! HAW RIVER ORIGINAL BUBBLE GUM WORM.Is my go too for floating worm. Harder to find can order direct in NC .Forget the name of the color, order by hundred bag, yellow and pink configuration. Great floating worm, will texas rig with a half twist and bend in worm. Quote
rboat Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 The gambler floating worm works real well in the spring. It floats easily and has a good snake action. Quote
Chaz Hickcox Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 deepcreeklures.net I just saw them floating at the Richmond Fishing Expo. Never used them, but they do float so... Quote
Incheon Basser Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Berkley's Power Shaky Worms may float as well. I typically have to round up pieces that wind up floating in the water after unhooking/releasing the fish. yes the shaky worm from Berkley floats. The hole thing Quote

repper Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Raider baits, Bass Chow, Uptons Customs. All three of these brands float. They are all hand poured customs. And they all come in some awesome colors as well. Quote
shimmy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Duh, We've called them incorrectly "floating" worms forever just because we fish them weightless and snap them up near the surface. We actually like them to sink just a tad, Wayne. ...the question was floating worms. Not sinking worms that are called floating worms. Not sure about the defensiveness there. Sometimes it's ok to be corrected. Quote
tennsopher Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Try a hags tornado in 8in.It has a hollow air pocket molded in.Go to youtube and watch the demo. Quote
