What length?

 

@Catt This one is 7”. Should be pretty thin through the main body but looks to have a solid profile with some good rings for air. 
 

I also like that bulkier head. Should take a screw lock well when I go that direction.

Probably should get off the net. Eyeing this one now too. I’ll report out when I get open water.

It’s 30 degrees in the garage so I rushed it and the plastic probably cooled a little faster than it should have. Regardless, I think this will be a fish catcher! I’m ready for that ring worm action!

 

I have a trick worm next to it for reference! Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I believe the Ring Worm company is no longerIn business.

Roboworm has offered Zipper worms for 3 decades, nor thier most popular worm. Do they work....you betcha! 7” & 6” are gone, only few colors of 3 1/2” grubs and 5” worm still on the site. My favorite was 6” Oxblood red flake.

I am a fan of a lot of the GrandeBass stuff, I find the airtail worm to be really nice for summer shakeyhead presentations, in the river you don't even need to do anything with it, just toss it out there and let the current do what it does with that tail going nuts back there.

There never was a "Ringworm" company, there was several companies that made Ringworms.

 

I believe Rebel made the first Ringworms 

 

Another highly overlooked Ringworm is the Lake Fork Tackle Worm.

Another brain fart, “Zipper” Worm Company.

Sold a member The Goliath 13” Zipper worms last year.

All I can say is wow. Just saw that ZipZilla 13. I don’t even know how I would fish that monster but I might have to order just to see one.

Texas rig it and fish it deep. My largest NY bass came on a 10" Powerworm. I'll be trying these this year for sure!

That what I don't like about Zipper, the head is to small to hold a hook properly.

 

Look at Gene Larew's head

Here is a head with some meat to it @Catt! Do you think the depth of the rings matters much? My eyes are drawn to the deeper ribs but I don’t know if that is more catching the angler or the fish.

I'm comparing it to Gene Larew which had a head shaped similar to a bullet weight. The rings were bigger but not Grande bass big. The tail was longer but not a ribbontail.
