kLuo Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 The straight tail 4 1/2" roboworm is my #1 numbers bait for drop shot. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted November 27, 2011 Super User Posted November 27, 2011 They're a phenomenal shakey worm. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted November 27, 2011 Super User Posted November 27, 2011 The straight tail 4 1/2" roboworm is my #1 numbers bait for drop shot. ...and my #1 on a shakeyhead. In my hands they seem to have a better, more subtle action than the Berkley handpours. IIRC, the Berkley worms are a bit stiffer. Quote

IIRC, the Berkley worms are a bit stiffer. Same here, I kill em on a shakey head. I use brush hogs more on a DS than I do a roboworm. Robos on a shakey are absolutely deadly during spawn time. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 27, 2011 Super User Posted November 27, 2011 Another "must-have" is the GYCB 6.5" Kut Tail. I read somewhere that this is THE most popular soft plastic in Japan. Anyone know if that's true? Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted November 27, 2011 Super User Posted November 27, 2011 The kut tail is underrated. You can usually find them on ebay pretty cheap because everyone bids up the senkos. Quote

Anyone know if that's true? I've read the same thing a number of times, and based on sales alone I'd be willing to believe it. Quote
JigMe Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I actually have two packs of nut tail, but I have yet to catch any bass on it. Usually I rig it for drop shot, and fish the same way as a roboworm. How do u guys fish them? Quote

Outlet has all of their Kut Tails, including the 10" model, for $3.99 a pack. Quote

Roboworms were developed for the split shot market long before drop shotting became popular. The reason; Robowrm is a high floatation and soft with life like movement and consistant coloration. Shakey head jigs work well with worms having the same features. Roboworm may be the best soft high floatation worm, but not as durable for shakey head jigs as the less expensive mass produced injection molded worms like the Kut tails. My favorite for shakey heads are both Roboworm and Iovino's straight tail 6" with 1" of the tail split. Roboworms curl tails are also good on dart heads. Tom Quote
