Balshy Fishing Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I'm going to start using these b/c i see a lot of people talking about them. I'm gonna' go pick 'em up at BPS today but as far as size and color, what should I be looking for? I'm trying to get a pack for stained and clear water. Any help would be great! Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 29, 2014 Super User Posted August 29, 2014 MMII and Oxblood w/light red flake are 2 colors that work everywhere, 6" straight or curl tails. Tom 1 Quote
EmersonFish Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Like a lot of people, when I talk about Roboworms, I'm generally talking about the 'Straight Tail Worms' that come in 4.5" and 6" sizes. They can be used for anything you might use a finesse worm for, but they are pretty much my go-to drop-shot bait, and I will occasionally wacky rig one. I use both sizes. The water around here tends to be clear. 'Aaron's Magic' has been a good color for me, but I use others that have purple in them that I don't know the name of. I like 'Witches T' when I'm fishing in an area with a lot of sunfish/bluegill. There are some that I don't know the name of off hand that are more of a baitfish color that I use. Quote
Hattrick7 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Clear I like morning dawn or Margarita muilator. Stained Aarons magic, baby bass and oxblood. Oxblood should work well in clear also. I would get both sizes. Either way they are deadly when dropshotting. Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 3, 2014 Super User Posted September 3, 2014 Aarons' Magic. In all sizes. Quote
FrogTosser88 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I have margarita mutilator, green pumpkin&purple. They get a lot of bites thats for sure. You can dropshot all of them but the smaller ones might be better. Only problem I have is that the bluegills attack the hell out of them as well. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted September 3, 2014 Super User Posted September 3, 2014 I've been using the 4.5" & 6" straight tails for a good long while, but recently have started using the 7" ones more and more. I really like them and they seem to last a little longer. The only bad thing I can say about them is that they get annihilated so fast... Don't even need a fish to swipe them most of the time, they just fall apart from being casted a few times. Screw-style keeper hooks seem to help a bit, but they explode when hit still... I'd stop using them if they weren't so darn effective! So yeah. The 7" peoples' worm is probably my favorite, followed closely by summer shad and the rest of the Robo FX worms- which provide higher contrast and seem to be slightly more effective than the regular ones. If you can't find those, go with the "hot tips" that have a 2nd color tail. Seems to work better anyways... And FYI when they DO explode, I like to nip off the tails for use on jig trailers for finer/lighter jigs. The 7" peoples' worm fatties work great as a PB&J trailer, etc. or can just be reused as a shorter worm in most cases so it's not a total loss. Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I started using roboworms this spring and have become a fan of them. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I use 4 1/2 inch and 6 inch. Morning dawn is my favorite color, followed by bold bluegill and oxblood red flake. Quote
5fishlimit Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 As good as the Roboworms are for dropshot I've done just as well using them t-rigged. Martins Magic is my choice of color. Quote
Slade House Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 roboworm drop shotting 1. 6" or 4" Hologram shad 2. aaron's pro magic 3. oxblood hologram shad is my personal favorite . Quote
Slade House Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 but reins bubbling shaker has taken the spot robowrom used to have in my tacklebox Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 5, 2014 Super User Posted September 5, 2014 I like Aaron's Pro Magic and Hologram Shad. Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 5, 2014 Super User Posted September 5, 2014 The hookup tackle site in AZ has a wide variety of hard to find Roboworms colors. Baitball has been a good color where shad are the baitfish of choice. Tom Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Interesting site that really explains the colors. I like People's worm http://www.roboworm.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/2012%20color%20descriptions.pdf Quote
