I just got the Blackdogbaits Mr. Flippy and I am really excited to try this one out. Big fat profile that I was looking for for quite awhile.
bassgrabber1 reply :
I just started using the Rage Craw and I really like it but my favorite plastic has to be a 7" Roboworm rigged on a shakyHead. Both the Aarons Magic and Margarhita Mutilator work. I have caught most of my fish over 7lbs on this rig includidng my PB.
Bluebasser86 reply :
If I could only have one it would be a GP Zoom magnum finesse worm.
JDuncan reply :
Zoom 8" magnum lizard pumpkin chart. This bait is why I'm sort of one dimensional. I also like the 10 inch black culprit worm.
JigMe reply :
Roboworm straight tail worm on a dropshot rig, and 4 inch senko.

They really are an awesome worm. I wish the NetBaits T-MAC worms would float because I like those to.
grimlin reply :
Must have for me is the fat Albert grub. I never left home without it this year. And consistently caught fish every time I went out with this rigged up.
tnbassfisher reply :
Overall, a Zoom Lizard. But I am becoming a more and more a fan of beaver-type baits.
matstone7 reply :
Rage Tails!
Some may think others compare but, they really don't!
ww2farmer reply :
I am not loyal to any one brand,no one is paying me to use there stuff, soo looking in my boat you will see bags of Yamamoto, Zoom, RI, Netbait, SK, Yum, Jackall, Berkley, BPS, and probably more that I don't remember. One thing I have learned is that a Zoom 4" finesse worm won't catch them any better or worse, than a 4" SK worm, or a 4" Netbait worm, etc.....so I buy what ever is readily available, and if good sales come up on one brand or another I stock up.

This for the most part applies to me. But it is tough sometimes for me to try a new brand when I have caught them on another.
Fat-G reply :
Rage Tail for sure!
Yamamoto, specifically the Flappin' Hawg
Zoom lizards, brush hogs, trick worms, etc.
RyneB reply :
Black Zoom Trick worm
fasteddie2x reply :
Yamamoto wacky rigged consitently was my goto bait for big bass. I'd always have at least 3 rods rigged up with something different and 9 times out of 10...Yamamoto came through in the clutch.
JIGFISHERMAN. reply :
Snack Daddy Lures salty sticks in St Clair Special color.
Otherwise Paca Chunks, or Poor Boys Erie Darter, or Drop Shot Darter in Mango Melon
guitarkid reply :
Zoom trick worm- Any natural looking color
Fish stalker finesse worm- Motor oil
-gk
tholmes reply :
Probably 90% of the bass that I catch on plastics are on either a 7.5" ribbontail worm (Culprit, Barlow's, Zoom or Berkeley) or a Yum Crawbug, both sizes.

Drop Shot Maniac reply :
First post here. Love the site and glad I found it. I am also a huge fan of Roboworms. These are the best and most natural worms I have found for drop shot. I have had great success with the Warmouth and Aaron's Magic versions, as well as several other colors. But the one color that I use far more than any other and that seems to get consistent strikes regardless of circumstances is the Morning Dawn with the chartreuse hot tip. While the other versions of the Morning Dawn color will work OK, the one with the chartreuse hot tip is simply the best bass-fishing lure I have ever used, period. Just to mix things up, some days I tell myself, OK, today I am not going to use this worm. I'll go through practically my whole tackle box trying to find what the fish are hitting, with limited success. Every time I eventually end up back on a drop shot with a Morning Dawn Roboworm. And it works, every time. It's the one lure I have found that the fish will hit every time I go fishing, regardless of weather, wind, water clarity, etc. Some days it works better than others, but it always works. Love this worm.
brushhoggin reply :
Maniac, welcome buddy, and i'm the same way with perfect plastics game hawgs. they are my all time QB. i've gotten bit reeling fast, yo-yoing, twitching and crawling, deadsticking, you name it, it's bad to the bone. i trim em down as they get torn up and still catch fish big and small until it just won't fit on a hook anymore. it's replaced my baby brush hog because its a tad thicker/heavier (but not as bulky as the regular brush hog) and is petroleum based so it slides through cover well. all colors produce. HOWEVER, the zoom magnum finesse worm is really starting to give the game hog a run for its money. the secret is combining a standard worm retrieve with a soft jerkbait retrieve so it darts around on the bottom with frequent pauses... that worm is almost designed for that....this has caught me more bass in the past year than i can remember.
LgMouthGambler reply :
Mines got to be the Zoom Lizard in Watermelon Red. Caught soo many on these wonderful little creatures.
Ratherbfishing reply :
Don't know if it's actually "plastic" or not but Gulp worms are awfully hard to beat. Just wish they were more durable.
Drop Shot Maniac reply :
Thanks, brushhoggin. In my short time on this site I've read a lot of favorable reviews of the game hawgs, and the Strike King Rage Craws and Eeliminators. I'm going to order some of these, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with these on a drop shot? Are they too heavy to drop shot?
And Ratherbfishing, I hear you about the durability of Gulp worms. If I have any complaint at all about the Roboworms it's that they aren't very durable to say the least. They are just so soft that you can't expect to cast them too many times before they fall off the hook. Not really a complaint though, considering the success I have with them. Small price to pay.
brushhoggin reply :
roboworms fall apart easily on long casts with a t-rig also but i'd imagine on a drop shot the weight would carry most of the momentum so it might not tear up as easily. but without that soft, flimsiness they wouldn't be one of the most natural baits you've ever used 
and i bet you could use a game hawg on a drop shot but i believe there are other baits that stand up better. guess it depends on your retrieve.
CaliBass3 reply :
Lately it has easily been the zoom speed craws in green pumpkin magic for me. I fish them either texas rigged or on a darter head.
bknap reply :
Strike king game hogs, love them
catchnm reply :
Favorite brands.....Strike King Rage and Zoom. Favorite baits......Rage Craws, Anacondas, Lizards, Eeliminator, Smokin Rooster. Zoom Baby Brush Hogs, Fat Albert Grubs, Flukes, Lizards. Trick Worms.
My favorite colors are any watermelon variation for creatures and natural (shad, bluegill, etc.), white/pearl, and chartreuse for baitfish imitators.
JoePhish reply :
In general it depends on what time of year you ask me this question.
Some months I have success with big 10 inch worms (SK Rage Anaconda or Berkley PB). If I want something smaller or a little different it's the Producto Tournament worm (6 or 8 inches). The Producto is often a jig trailer option as well.
I found myself throwing a lot of Rage Frogs and Smokin' Roosters this year; 2 baits that I have learned to love despite initial failure.
In the cooler months I love little black beavers (RI Smallie Beaver or Net Bait B-Bug).
However, if nothing else is working I resort to Ole Reliable - a Swimsenko with a 1/16 bullet weight. I always carry a pack of these in Black as well as Watermelon/Blk/Gold. The back end of a spent one is probably my favorite jig trailer as well, especially on swim jigs.
