Roboworm Vs Basstrix Loca Motion

[jchez444]

For finesse applications, especially shakyhead wise which worm is better for that. i know the roboworms have a lot of salt and they do not float until the salt content dissolves abit. anyone compare these two worms????

Never used the Basstrix worms but they look similar to the Roboworms and I prefer a Roboworm over most baits.

ive used both but robo takes the crown. all their baits are amazing and they float right outta the package.

I started throwing a roboworm on a shakey head just a couple of weeks ago and have been slaying the fish out of small ponds. I'm very impressed with the action of the roboworm. The roboworms float just fine, the outer salt desolves immediately in water.

I can't speak for the BassStrick, never used one. Pick up a pack of both and let us know what you decide.

I have both, I have the exact opposite opinion, I think for shakey heads. light/weightless texas rigs, the locamotion worm would be better. It is not made of normal "plastic", it is (I think) the same plastic they use for the paddle tails.

Ive never been really big on soft plastics, but Im getting more and more into them as I re-invent the fisherman in me. If anyone would care to share what they know, I'd like to hear about it. Extensive writings can be sent to; hooks4bass@gmail.com Primary will always be Largemouth, but I will go after Stripes, Hybrids and Rocks too. I'm in Arkansas, and fish both rivers and lakes, both afoot, and afloat.

Don't forget the old stanby....the trick worm for shaky head presentations.

I too have both and the plastic used in the loca motion works is different, it has some real good light reflecting qualitys and has been my number one shaky head bait! I use the 6" model in watermelon/black barrs, and for the longest time I was using the roboworm as I felt it was the best straight tail worm until I found the loca motion worms which was by total accident. I was getting some Stanley Sidewinders that were on sale at TW and saw the Basstrix Loca Motion worms and thought they looked good so I got a pack to try. On every trip that me and my friend have used the shaky heads we would switch on and off with the worms, I would use the basstrix and he would use the roboworm and vice-versa. To make a long story short the Loca Motion worms have out fished the roboworm by 2 to 1 and that is a conservative estimate. I loved my Roboworms and always have some but since I tried the Basstrix Loca Motin worm the roboworms haven't been used very much.

[smalljaw67]

I almost forgot, the Loca Motion worm isn't very effective in dirty water, in fact my shaky head fishing suffers in dirty water but when I did use the shaky head in dirty water the roboworm was much better and I believe the whole appeal with the loca motion worms is the way light reflects off of them or through them, because when the visibility was less than 2' I didn't catch any fish but we did manage several keepers with the roboworm.

thank you for the responses. i am most likely going to go with both worms mainly cause the club im in fishing 5 different reservoirs, with 3 of them being very clear and the other 2 just slightly dingy, so i should be able to benefit from both. thank you again for your responses. Also forgot to add i will be rigging them on both the gamakatsu skip gap shaky head and the picasso
