Mike I’d probably like that but have no idea how you do that. 

[FishinBuck07]

Almost all of them that I can!!  Some more than others though.

The Trixie Shark has a dual tail like the speed Worm. With the short stubby body and those twin tails churning they just crush it. 
 

I’ll let the Brush Hog sink and move.
But with the Anaconda I let it sink, twitch, dead stick, twitch, dead stick all the way back. 

 

My thing for years has been taking the obvious and reversing it. 
I like doing something that most don’t do especially in pressured water or with spooky lethargic fish. 
 

So far these combinations have worked.

Wacky or neko rig for me using a stick bait.  Depends on how deep I need it to go.  Less than 5 feet, wacky rig.  Greater than 5 feet, I add the nail weight which makes it a neko.

[BassinCNY]

If it's weightless I'm almost exclusively soft stick baits. I always have one rigged up. 80% of the time it's texas rigged and 20% wacky.

[papajoe222]

RageTail cut-R worm, stick worm, Fluke, Tubes and an occasional toad. 

[Bankbeater]

Flukes, Senkos, and Stik-Os I usually fish weightless.

4" and 6" worms I either fish weightless or on split shot rigs.

[LCG]

I have had good luck recently with a weightless beaver style bait (4" Yo Mama in Tilapia by big bite baits). Usually up shallow. BPS stick-o and trick worm have always worked well too.

That's hard, I have a bunch of plastics I like, but if I had to go with one, it's the trick worm.

[huZZah]

Texas or wacky rigged yum dinger or Texas rigged zoom fluke. Always have one on a rod cause theyre just so versatile. 

[soflabasser]

Some of my favorite soft plastics are Zoom Horny Toads, Super Flukes, and Trick Worms. They are reasonably priced which is big plus since I can buy more of them with the money I save.

[TOXIC]

Never and I mean never hit the water without a weightless Senko Texas rigged.  The other weightless baits I throw are a Yamamoto DShad, Swimming Senko and Yamafrog.

Same, a super fluke is a close close second, but the trickworm wins out.  

[bowhunter63]

T rigged fluke or trick worm

[The Pond King]

My personal favorites are..

 

1. Senko

2. Fat Ika

3. Flukes like D Shad, Caffeine Shad, or Zoom Super Flukes

4. Yamamoto Kreature

I tried other soft plastics weightless, but if it’s not salt impregnated, they sink too slow. For example, the Yum brand. 
 

I plan on experimenting with a “floating” worm in the future by twitching a Zoom trick worm on top water.

Berkley Max Scent the General in Green Pumpkin/Watermelon wacky rigged.
