BuffaloBass716 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 What color produces the best for you guys for clear water smallies? For me lately, a 4.5" Sexy shad color roboworm is the only worm I can get bit on. In the past I've have a few on Green pumpkin neon but with all the colors available on TW, I'm not sure which other colors I should try. 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted August 7, 2014 Super User Posted August 7, 2014 I have good luck with M.M.II, Morning Dawn, and Aaron's Magic 1 Quote
JeziHogg Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hologram shad in the FAT version. I xan crush a bag within an hour fishing smbs. 2 Quote
Bass2124 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I have had the best luck with Zoom Trickworms in Green Pumpkin. I have tried the Robo Worms (only in Aaron's magic) but have not had nearly the success as I have had with the Trickworms. I also dip the tail in JJ's Chartreuse for a little extra zing. They certainly hold on a little longer with that stuff. 1 Quote

BuffaloBass716 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Posted August 8, 2014 You guys are going to make me trying all of them! haha 1 Quote
BuffaloBass716 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 UPDATE: Well I picked up some different colors at Gander Mountain the other day, I tried Margarita Mutilator at my river today and caught some nicer smallies, Some around 2-2.5 lbs, I haven't caught anything that big since May-June during the prespawn. I have a few more bags of different colored roboworms that I'll try another day. It's too bad my Gander Mountain only carries like 5 colors of the 4.5" robos 1 Quote

Give Oxblood light red flk a try if you pick up some more. This weekends color was hologram shad for me, a good suggestion from Jezi. 1 Quote
5fishlimit Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Aaron's Magic & Tequilla sunrise work very well for me when dropshotting on Lake Erie for smallies. When all else fails choose something with some pink, or purple in it! Quote
MN Lakes Area 14 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Hologram Shad.. I bought a pack of these at a sportshow 2 years ago, and last summer I had them out in my box. I tried one just to give it a shot, and the smallies tore them up! Only problem is, I cannot find this color at all locally. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted August 27, 2014 Super User Posted August 27, 2014 Aaron's Magic has always been a producer for me. However, this season I've been trying a color called sexy shad (along the same pattern as the KVD models) and it's been killing them! Quote
bradc36 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I also like the Aaron's magic color a lot as well as SXE Shad and MMII, and have had good luck with power team lures finicky tickler in bloody wiggler and kitchen sink the last few weeks. Quote
Rangerphil Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Warmouth! The green fish love this color also! Quote
Vertical Jig Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 I like Bitchin Craw! Dicks had them. Now I can't find them anywhere!! Quote

I make my own now, but before when I was on the Robos that would of also been my top 3 for sure. Honorable mention for Oxblood W/ Red Flake and New Ayu. Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted April 26, 2020 Super User Posted April 26, 2020 Baby Bluegill, Aaron's Magic and Aaron's Morning Dawn are three of my favorites. 2 Quote
Ogandrews Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 I feel like I’m the only person in the world that doesn’t use roboworms. I have tried a bunch of different kinds of them on a drop shot and shakeyhead and I always do better on strike king dream shots and half shells, or a 3” senko wacky rigged when it comes to dropshotting, or when it comes to a shakey head I have never found a worm that outfishes the strike king fat baby finesse worm. A lot of this probably comes down to what I have confidence in but I just have never found what all the hype is around roboworm. Not saying their bad baits because they obviously catch fish, it’s just for my fishing applications I think that there are better options. Quote

Super User Bird Posted April 26, 2020 Super User Posted April 26, 2020 I only use 2 worms for DS, Robo or Zoom finesse and also throw them Neko due to there buoyancy. This past summer I filled a bucket with water and tested every plastic worm in my arsenal " many " and was surprised how many sunk as fast as a penny......fine for weightless/Texas. Maybe just a personal thing but feel like I catch more fish with a buoyant worm when DS, Neko or Carolina. Aaron's magic is my favorite color. Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted April 26, 2020 Super User Posted April 26, 2020 Have most of us moved on from the original "skinnier" worm to the "fat" version? oe Quote
Super User WRB Posted April 26, 2020 Super User Posted April 26, 2020 We have smallmouth lakes in SoCal but they are not the dominate species, Florida strain LMB are. When I target smallies with a drop shot Roboworm my go to colors are FX People's or Oxblood w/LT red flake. The only green worm I have confidence using for smallies is Iovino's Smallmouth Killer. All 3 colors catch LMB so it's a win win. I use 4 1/2" fat and split the tail 1" with a saftey razor. Peoples is cinnamon w/blue neon = sculpin Oxblood is cinnamon /purple neon small red flake = nightcrawler/crawdad Smallmouth Killer is lime green w/blue neon = shiner/Shad Tom Quote
