Original Zoom Worm Comeback?

[Spankey]

Placed an order to stock upon a handful of Zoom things I use and saw and picked up some of the "Original Zoom Worm". Zoom is making and bringing back the 1970's style worm. I do not remember this worm. I was just a teen at that time and getting into a lot of artificial lures. I've been into Zoom since the 80's so I bought some to try. Colors were very limited on them. 6" worms only Green Pumpkin and Watermelon. Will work for me.

 

Might be old news, I'm known to live under a rock. This site BR might not want to mention the well know supplier. Easy enough to figure out. Worm looks slightly smaller in diameter than the Finesse Worm and the Trick Worm with a flat tail. I bit, looks good.

I just wish they would hand pour some baits in a few styles, so we can experience the baits that made them famous.  Same with gene larew.  I want the old super soft plastics that tear easily but have a sheet load of action.  How good a day you had used to be determined by how many bags of worms you went through.

I remember them.  I would go through a bag or two every time I was out.  I did hate how they smelled like plastic and oil (sort of) when they got warm.  The fished seemed to like it though.

 

I am glad to see that this worm is back though.  I actually like it better than the trick worm.  I wish they would make the lizard with old material.  I always had good luck with them.

Even back in the 90s the worms arent as expensive as they are now...these days with some companies charging 7 or 8 dollars for a bag of 10 I can't afford the super soft stuff.

The ones that are steep in price are the new comers. To me not time proven. Last season I bit on these called Zee Baits (few packs) local company to me. They suck. I’ll give them away to some kid down the river. Hope he catches a state record on them.

I saw these too, I think, on same site and almost got a bunch.

 

And then I remembered just how many worms I have. I may have more worms than I will realistically be able to use up for the next couple decades, likely longer.

 

I resisted, but it was a close call.

I hear that. I didn’t go overboard. Felt the need to bag of each. They only have two colors but productive colors.

*Academy has been selling them in a couple of colors for the last couple of years ... Very supple feeling but do not look like they would last more than one fish or two.
