TheSmilingSwordsman Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Oh wow! Here we go. Short strait tailed worm: Roboworm 6 inch Long worm: Zoom Ol' Monster Stick Bait: Yamamoto Senko Craw: Rage Tail Rage Craw Beaver Style: Berkley Havoc Pit Boss Creature Bait: Zoom Baby Brush Hog Soft Jerk Bait: Zoom Super Fluke These are some of my favorites but by no means is this list locked in nor am I opposed to fishing a different brand than what I have listed. For instance, take the Roboworm I have listed as my favorite short strait worm, I often use a Zoom Finesse worm which is a direct competitor. Instead of a Senko, I will often use a Yum Dinger. There are very few soft plastics that have not worked for me at one point or another. If you are new to the world of soft plastics, I recommend you read as much as possible here on Bass Resource and find one or womtechniques you would like to try. Then go buy a couple of packs of plastics and hooks to match, take them to the lake and start experimenting. Have fun and good luck. Quote
Drew03cmc Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 When I'm tossing worms, give me a Zoom Finesse worm rigged weightless. Craws are my favorite plastic bait and if im not on a watershed that I can look for 100 fish days, the Yum Craw Papi is tough to beat, but for a more durable bait, the Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw and hopefully the ZMan Turbo CrawZ will work out. I don't toss tubes, but I like Kalin's grubs. Quote
DocNsanE Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Yum Dingers have worked for me as well as senkos and are cheaper. Rage craws are fantastic Am looking forward to trying the Stanley Y-Not.. those floating appendages look killer. Zoom Super Flukes are fun to fish and last year I caught a ton on the Strike King Caffeine Shad Quote
RSM789 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Short strait tailed worm: Roboworm 5 inch... Do you bite the heads off the 6" models to shorten them or do you glue a 1/2" to the shorter models to make them measure up to 5"? Roboworms don't come in a 5" size . Quote

Roboworms don't come in a 5" size . Haha. No, I guess I just had the length wrong in my head when I typed this up. They are in fact 6". Quote
RSM789 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Haha. No, I guess I just had the length wrong in my head when I typed this up. They are in fact 6". Just messing with you. You are correct, the 6" models are killer - a 6" Aarons Magic was responsible for the PB in my avatar photo. Quote
TheSmilingSwordsman Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Aaron's Magic is my favored color as well. It just flat out works. Quote

halochef Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I noticed no Berkley Power worms. any reason? i have several i haven't used in a while. still in there own sealed pack. thanks Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 I am lovin the Rage Tail Cut R Worm right now All the action of a Senko but with that tail Quote
RSM789 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I noticed no Berkley Power worms. any reason? i have several i haven't used in a while. still in there own sealed pack. thanks I like the Berkley Gulp Turtleback worms, but they are a little tricky as far as handling. If you leave it on the rod for too long (90 minutes?) without getting it wet, it is ruined (shrinks & gets hard). The packages they come in are notorious for leaking, so I end up double bagging them to stop the juice from leaking all over. As a bait however, I have had good luck with the junebug & pumpkinseed colors when I have used them. I just re-read my post - "shrinks & gets hard", "double bagging", "juice leaking all over"... I am talking about plastic worms, right? Quote
Starchalopakis Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 All the action of a Senko but with that tail Excactly! I was fishing at a pond using senkos, but ran out. I remembered I had a pack of Cut r Worms I had bought on a whim at DSG because they were on sale a few days earlier. I haven't used any senkos since! hahaha. I get a lot of topwater blowups on them, just as I am about to pull it out of the water to recast! I am usually fishing at night so it scares the crap out of me everytime! 1 Quote

In the marshes around here we speed reel em on top, dropping em in pockets. 1 Quote
