Trick Worm vs Finesse Worm

[carrothead]

What is the difference in a Zoom Trick Worm and a Zoom Finesse Worm?

[Stasher1]

The Finesse Worm is much smaller than the Trick Worm.

What is the difference in a Zoom Trick Worm and a Zoom Finesse Worm?

The finesse worm is a shorter than the trick worm. I don't have them in front of me but,I think the fin. worm is 5 or 6 in. and the trick worm is about7 or 8 in. worm.

One Inch.

In the Zoom brand the difference is 1 1/4"

The shape is somewhat the same.

Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic. I can't find my camera.  :-/

[DINK WHISPERER]

I love trick worms!!!!  ;D

[carrothead]

Thanks.  What is the best way to rig them?

[Wayne P.]

Weedless wacky

[aarogb]

    For me it has got to be texas-rigged weightless.  Also called weightless wormin' and floating worm.

[curazyboy89]

Definately weightless....I get a great reaction!!!

[Roughwater]

I just landed here on a google search as I didn't know the difference either.  Thanks all for the great info.

Weedless Texas Rig, for both.  I use a 3/0 EWG for the Finesse Worm and 4/0 the Trick Worm.  I love the Finesse Worm better, I've caught so many with the green pumpkin color.

This is how we suck you in!  Only place with solid answers to obscure questions.  Welcome!

LoL.  Looks like you know how to hold a large bass.  So many folks on this website seem to have the same talent?

Appreciate the tip.  Seems like a popular worm color.  A guy on that famous channel that does videos (not sure if I'm allowed to say the Name of it here) recommended it so I went online and bought some finesse worms along with some trick worms and the sinko worms with 4o and 1o hooks.

Besides the length difference , the Trick work has a larger taper / "bulb" at the tail and is slightly more skinny in the tail before the taper / bulb at the end . This gives the Trick worm more action at the end of the tail section  than does the Finesse worm which does not have as much action and tends to be more stiff in the over all action . *Although I have plenty of Finesse worms by Zoom - I would save money by buying Trick worms and cut them down to a smaller size from the head as required . Green Pumpkin , Junebug and Watermelon Red will cover most of your needs until you learn more . Trick worm fishing styles : Texas Rig (round bend offset hook 3/0 size weightless or with bullet weight 1/16th oz ~ 1/4 oz.) , Wacky Rigged (1/0 ~ #1 size  Gamagatsu Weedless Finesse Hook) and Neko Rigged (1/16th oz. VMC nose weight ,#2 size VMC Neko Hook through a small O-Ring (*Google all styles of Trick worm applications to learn more !)

Trick worms and finesse worms are my go to soft baits. My home water is mostly stained with a lot of docks, laydowns and stumps. I use a black or green pumkin Trick worm rigged Texas weightless and black Finesse worm on a Slider head.

Come into zee light Raul.

 

Lol, how often I get sucked into those old posts too!  The ones who lay dormant without ever seeming to have received an answer to the question.  

 

I recently realized my fishing knowledge apparently had not been updated in many years.  As of a few days ago the only worm rig I was aware of was the Texas rig.  Coming here and recently watching online fishing videos was like going through a fishing portal in time and suddenly learning how modern man fishes.  I appreciate the patience of you all.

Thanks a bunch Ces.  Since lot's of you all are using them I'll be trying them out soon as well.

I can’t fish finesse worms to save my life but my partner does well with em. 

[bowhunter22]

Do you think he's found the difference between the two worms in the last 9 years?

Hard to tell, last time dude was seen was Nov 1, 2012.

 

Don’t think PMing him to find out is going to be of much help.

I can't keep fish off them. problem is, they're usually tiny fish. That's why I always start with the Trick Worm. Once you downsize just to get bites, you're mostly fishing for dinks and hoping for an exception. But that's better than no action at all.

Anyone putting them on a skirted jig?
