boomdigity Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Being new the sport of bass fishing. I have been buying $20.00 worth of hard/soft baits a week. This week I picked up some Zooom Trick Worms and Zoom Chunks. Why I have not picked up Zoom Trick Worms before I have no idea but I love these thing weightless T-rigged. None of my Berkley powerbaits and Glup move like this thing. Pull it once and shoots straight up and fall vert. vibrating all the way down. Pull it again and it might go Horz and flutter. I was even walking the dog with this thing sub-surface. What a bait but many of you all ready know this. I can't wait to throw it on a shakey head. Quote
JayDub Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Weightless T-rig, T-rig, wacky rig, flick shake, C-rig, shakey head, you name it and it does it. I LOVE the zoom trick work. Quote
gatrboy53 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 get some of the 4'' finess as well sometimes the smaller bait will out fish the 6''er Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I LOVE these things too... I went to Lake Fork earlier this year and fished for three days. Day one consist of spinnerbaits, crankbaits and tx rigged brush hogs and caught four fish. Day two we tried a weightless trick worm and ended up with over 40 and 6 5+lbs... A great bait!! Quote

Super User fishfordollars Posted June 13, 2008 Super User Posted June 13, 2008 Welcome Zoom trick worms will catch fish any way you want to fish them. We like the watermellon/red in this area. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Watermelon/red is almost always my first choice, but white is also fun to fish because you can actually see the bait disappear when a fish hits. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 13, 2008 Super User Posted June 13, 2008 If you really what an effective presentation of a Zoom Trick worm, try it this way. Yes, the watermelon with red flakes is popular in most part of the country. I fished Fork a few weeks ago for 6 days and only used the moccasin blue color. It produced just a well as the watermelon/red had in the past there. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 13, 2008 Super User Posted June 13, 2008 Insert a nail weight in the head and insert the hook in the opposite direction of the rig Wayne posted and you get a mean fish catching machine. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 13, 2008 Super User Posted June 13, 2008 Raul, I agree that a nail inserted in the head is a good addition if needed for depths of 5'+, in current, or with wind. I still insert the hook in the same direction with or without the added weight though. I haven't found it to be necessary to do otherwise, good suggestion though-thanks Quote
skillet Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Bass_Fanatic, WELCOME to the forums!!! Have been useing Zoom products for quite a while. Wish it hadn't taken me so long to get to the Trick Worms ... As Ever, skillet Quote
guitarkid Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Weedless and weightless with slight lift and drops. enough said. By the way get green pumpkin with green flakes. -searoach Quote
Super User grimlin Posted June 15, 2008 Super User Posted June 15, 2008 here's another trick for trick worms(works best with zoom) Cut off 1/8 of an inch of the head of worm.get a white with black eyes crappie jig(1/8 oz) cut the bend hook part off and the eye of jig where you'd tie the line.Insert that jig into the head of trick worm only exposing the jig head.Now take a 3/0 offset worm hook and hook it in the middle and back through toward the head(about 3-4 inches from the head).Tex pose or bury hook just like you would T-rig a worm.And booya now you got a killer tricked out trick worm. 8-) It's called the bungee jumper rig Quote
trojangolf88 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 sometimes my trick worm will start just doing little circles instead of moving like it normally does. does this happen to you guys? i hate it but the trick worm is definately my favorite thing to use in shallow water. june bug is my favorite Quote
boomdigity Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 I hooked up a watermelon w/ red flake this weekend and I was the only one in the boat catching anything. Everyone else was using nightcrawlers and picking on my fake bait till I started hauling in the fish then they were like what are you using. I just keep telling them fake bait. Quote
