RealtreeByGod Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Looking for a floating worm to mainly dropshot with. All of mine are salt-infused and sink. Quote
Shimano_1 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Robo worms are ur friend. Only worm u use anymore for drop shot and shakey head. Dont know if jelly worms do or not Quote
Heron Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 6” jelly worms seem to sink. 9” jelly worms float But yeah, wouldn’t be my preferred choice for drop shot Quote
BigAngus752 Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Check out all the ElazTech products by Z-Man. ElazTech floats and it is amazingly tough. I use several of these baits when I want something buoyant. My local Walmart even carries a few of the Zinker Z and TRD baits. https://www.zmanfishing.com/cms/elaztech-plastics 1 Quote
RealtreeByGod Posted August 21, 2019 Author Posted August 21, 2019 I have some Zman StreakZ that would probably work well as a minnow-style dropshot lure, but I was really looking for a worm. I'd also rather not buy ElaZtech unless theres a definite advantage to them because I have a hard enough time keeping them segregated from the rest of my plastics as is. Preferablys omething that's traditional plastic, good action without needing to be worked heavily, that floats, and has a fork or spade tail. I have some of these guys that float and work well as panfish / trout lures, I could get some in 6 inch that'd probably work. Quote
Heron Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Well for a worm...Roboworm is probably your best choice on the drop shot. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 21, 2019 Super User Posted August 21, 2019 Roboworm or Crosstail Shad have filled all my DS needs. Robo has some salt in the head, but does float. The CrossTail floats and orients itself in any slight current. Both are "do nothing" baits. If you're a jiggler, then GYCB Shad SHaped Worm is for you. Quote
Timberwolf530 Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Don't discount the Berkley Twitchtail Minnow. While it does not float, it sinks very slowly in a horizontal manner, just like a dying baitfish. I use Roboworms too, but I use the twitchtails more often, especially for smallies. Quote
