softwateronly Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 Hag's Tornado - 5-8" various colors, but the 8" storm chaser is my current fave Netbait T-mac - junebug, black/grape, ky special Xcite Maximus - okeechobee craw, candy bug, red bug Gambler Burner worm - backatchya, gold rush Zoom Ol Monster - GP, 420, red shad Those are my current first choice worms. TW had various missle baits quiver worms marked down to $2, and I like that tail style as a finesse jig trailer/goby imitator, but I'm also going to see if there's a place for me as a finesse shakeyhead/free rig option. scott 1 Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted February 15, 2024 Author Super User Posted February 15, 2024 We have so many color choices now. When I first got into bass fishing, I had an older much more experienced angler tell me about the color purple. Purple has been the best color for me over the years. It's worked in clear and stained water. Roboworm has some really good purple shades, but they all can be good. 1 Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted February 15, 2024 Super User Posted February 15, 2024 If I’m not Wacky Rigging ,Rage cutter green pumpkin or Culprit tequila Shad t rigged . 2 great baits 1 Quote
TLHSS Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 My go-to is the 3” slim senko in all the different versions of watermelon and green pumpkin (I know … pretty boring). 1 Quote

Bought some Berkley Powerbait Fatty Bottom Hoppers on sale…cut them down for neds or Texas rig ‘em should work Gonna try a chartreuse disk worm in the spring Never used the floating worm technique much…will try that in the spring 1 Quote
RRocket Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 17 hours ago, OmegaDPW said: It's funny how many folks like purple. I have caught exactly one fish with a Culprit purple/white curly tail worm and it wasn't in my local spots. It was in super clear water up in a mountain lake when I was on vacation. I've tried it numerous times since in my muddy water ponds down south and never a bite. My best color down here is straight black- I've tried a black blue and a black with blue flake worm with nary a bite. Funny how fish are so picky depending on location. I've always assumed that since black works well in my stained water, purple and other variations of black would be similar. Not with my finicky bass. I totally believe you!! Same sort of odd thing here! Purple(s) handily outfish Green Pumpkin in the areas I fish locally. And it's not close. 2 Quote
Southernbasser Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Most of the time, I use Zoom trick worms. I have the most success with bright colors like limetruese, chartreuse, white, or metholate. But will use natural colors like green pumpkin or watermelon if that’s what the fish wants. 1 Quote
FishTax Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 I have many worm varieties.. Zoom trick worm in June bug or black never leave my kayak, along with a few sizes of spot remover shaky head. I'll be experimenting with others this year with different presentations, but the above is my #1 confidence bait. 1 Quote
