Fish Man Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 well first off ill say that as far as a soft plastic brand i love YUM.well this past week i went to get more of them at gander mtn but couldnt find the right color.so i grabbed another color i liked and a pack of zookm worms in a similar color to what i was looking for.when i opened them up i noticed that the zoom worms didnt seem to be made wtih as much quality as the YUM worms were. any thoughts?

Super User Marty Posted May 31, 2007 Super User Posted May 31, 2007 The only Yum I've used is the Dinger, which is fine. I've used a few more Zoom products and never noticed any quality problems. Quote
Fish Man Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 the only real problem i notice are that the worm is extremely skinny and doesnt even seem big enough to run a hook through compared to other worms me an my uncle use(he uses berkley)...while im sure they may catch fish it seems that because of their size they may not atract as many and also may rip,break,etc if it gets caught on a branch or if the bass or bluegill hit the tails Quote
cpvenom Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 What kind of worms were the zoom ones? Some are simply skinnier than others. Quote
Upnorth Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Zoom makes about 100 different worm styles, from finesse to creature baits. I'm know they make baits that can handle just about any size hook. Do yourself a favor and try a different style from Zoom, you will not have an issue with quality. Quote
Fish Man Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 What kind of worms were the zoom ones? Some are simply skinnier than others. they were the "u tale"style worms and im comparing the to YUM ribbontail worms Quote
JayW Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 The u-tails are skinny. That's one of the reasons that I love them! I use nothing but Zoom. They also taste pretty good with all the added salt! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 1, 2007 Super User Posted June 1, 2007 Hmm... What's a Zoom? Gary Yamamoto Bait Company (GYCB) makes the Senko and a number of other soft plastics. That's all I use. 8-) Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted June 1, 2007 Super User Posted June 1, 2007 I Like Zooms they have all you really need .... between Pros and amatuers fisherman/women i think they prob hold records with most widley fished plastic on earth.hall of fame lure if u ask me if you think your u tale is too skinny buy the gator tail same lenght but way thicker IMO they work better for me then GYCB baits but then again maybe im fortunate seems all my life i have fished places where fish were aggressive 97% of the time Quote
joe bag o donuts Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Funny, but Zoom is pretty much all I use. Price is reasonable and they catch fish. Can't argue with that. I do think they need to come out with a Senko knock-off though. When they do I'll ship a pack to roadwarrior. ;D Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 1, 2007 Super User Posted June 1, 2007 I try to give every lure an equal opportunity, but I must admit that "Zoom" dominates the clear majority of my lure arsenal. It's amazing to me how one company can produce so many top-flight lures: > Zoom Horny Toad > Zoom Brush Hog > Zoom Fat Albert > Zoom Super Fluke > Zoom Critter Craw > Zoom Trick Worm > What Next?

berkley Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 i love zoom that is all i use on my t rig i like zoom because they are cheap and have lots of styles and colors but they are softer and tear up as easier than other plastics but seems since there softer fish bite them better but thats just my opinion and what ive found Quote

berkley Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 these are some new zoom baits shakey tail fork tail g tail speed worm zoom zoom zoom ;D Quote
gatrboy53 Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 zoom, zoom ,zoom!!!!!!! the thing that makes the u-tails so good is that they are skinny.same w/ the trick worm and the mag II.and some of the other ones also,but they make some fatter baits for different seasons.about the only bait i dont like from zoom is the z-nail,i have friends that swear by them ,but the shape is funny to me ,but thats what they like about them.i to wish they would make a senko type bait and also a speed shad.

JigNBig Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I use all Zoom because GYCB has failed to create a soft plastic frog. If they did i would be ordering a whole bunch of GYCB! but no frogs. I really like the Ikas though Quote
The Next KVD Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I fish culprit alot for worms. senkos it has to be Yammamotos. Quote
