laus Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The packages of worms I've seen aren't clear on which ones float their rear ends up for best action. Are Mann's jelly worms the best for this? Robo worms? Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 11, 2011 Super User Posted March 11, 2011 Strike King makes a finesse worm from the elaztech material, floats great. Quote
Chaz Hickcox Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Deep Creek Lures soft plastics all float. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 11, 2011 Super User Posted March 11, 2011 Strike King makes a finesse worm from the elaztech material, floats great. I think they are 3 X worm , you can pull them and they are like a rubber band, And they have a garlic sent. Best floating worm that I have seen! Quote
Super User CWB Posted March 11, 2011 Super User Posted March 11, 2011 Strike King makes a finesse worm from the elaztech material, floats great. I think they are 3 X worm , you can pull them and they are like a rubber band, And they have a garlic sent. Best floating worm that I have seen! X2 4" and 7". Float great. Z-Man probably makes one also and he uses Elaztech material. http://www.zmanfishing.com/store/categories/elaztech/finesse_wormz Bonus with these is once you get them on the jig, they last forever. If you use the screwlock heads, you will need to heat the screw portion up and install the bait while it is hot but once on, it'll last all day or until you break off. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 11, 2011 Super User Posted March 11, 2011 The Strike King 3X Elaztech Finesse worms float better than any worm I have used. They can be a pain to rig though. Like CWB said, heat up the cork screw keeper on a screwlock jig and the job will be easier. Quote
Stasher1 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Zoom trick worm! Trick Worms don't float. 1 Quote
Five-Alive Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The Zoom trick worms don't float but they do stand up real good on a shakey head. The Strike King Elaztechs do very good also. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted March 11, 2011 Super User Posted March 11, 2011 What about the squirrel tail? The tail on those is supposed to float real well. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 i've had good luck with; trick worm and late last year Hags Tornado Quote
Stasher1 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I'm kind of partial to the Berkley Power Shaky Worm, but I really hate the Power Bait stench. Quote
bweave09 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Deep Creek Lures soft plastics all float. And they smell great! The 6" MT Floating Worm in watermelon is one of my favorites for the shaky head. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Gambler giggy stick. no better action than that for what you are asking. Quote
Hot Rod Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 There are a lot of videos on You Tube that show the action of different baits which are pretty informative. You can tell if the tails of worms float for example. A problem with them is that the people working the baits in the videos don't have much of a clue. For instance they'll "jig" a shaky head rig up/down with big hops very fast, not how it is supposed to be fished. Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 11, 2011 Super User Posted March 11, 2011 I wouldn 't worry much about which worm flots best, I 've been sakey heading for 3 decades, caught tons of fish and none of the worms/creatures I fish with "floats". Quote
von Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 PowerBait Hand poured finesse worm, Zoom Mag Finesse, Roboworm float tail up. Trick worms floats tail up too! You gotta nip that bulb at the end of the tail off. Floats tail up like a Roboworm. *disclaimer* at least my pack does. Quote
philsoreel Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 StrikeZone Lures Shake Up Worm. Hands down best floater out there. Not many people seem to know about them....this is a good thing. Quote
BriBass Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The Dizzy Diamond by Bizz Baits floats like you cant believe they are new company. also if you contact them they will do custom orders as well and make the worms in super soft plastic! Quote
TxFishingPlease Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Is the elaztech a third-party patented formula or something only Strike King uses? Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 12, 2011 Super User Posted March 12, 2011 In my experience, the two most buoyant plastic worms are the Gambler Big Stick and Strike King 3x Finesse worm. Strike King 3x plastic (AKA: ElazTech & Cyberflexxx) is inherently buoyant, whereas the Gambler Big Stick has a hollow body. For fishing in heavy vegetation (e.g. central Florida), I prefer the Gambler Big Stick, which has a head of tough plastic. On the other hand, 3x plastic is jelly-soft, and a T-rigged worm frequently gets impaled in heavy cover. Roger Quote
hookset on 3 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Try the Kicker Fish Hightail worms. the tails stand up great. check out this link: https://www.kickerfishbait.com/hightail_movie.html Quote
Incheon Basser Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Zoom trick worm! trick worms don't float Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 What about the squirrel tail? The tail on those is supposed to float real well. They do. They're a pretty solid choice. Quote
