Favorite finesse plastic worms 2024
Mobasser reply :
What are peoples favorites? I like zooms finesse worms.I probably get more consistent action fishing this way. Not always big fish of course but numbers. I rig em Texas style with a 1/8 oz bullet weight. This year I plan on putting them on a z- man ned rig head.What's everyone like?

I use Zoom finesse and trickworms. Believe it or not, 4 inch Luck E Strike with hook tail from Wal Mart.
Sometimes I have done well with Zoom swamp crawlers, too.

I use the trick worms and the lucky strikes too ! The lucky strikes produced very well in the fall this year. They are in the bargain bin at the local wal mart ! 1.99 a pack!!☺

Zoom swamp crawlers, Yum sharpshooters, and Havoc Bottom hoppers.
scaleface reply :
6 inch Jelly Worm , would that be considered finesse ?
Will1248 reply :
I think the zoom centipede is shamefully underrated. If you put a 1/8 or 1/4 oz about a foot above it and break a toothpick to wedge it to the line. Just slowly drag it along the bottom and man do they nail it. Preferably Pumpkin and Green Pumpkin work the best in my humble opinion, in that order.

BELIEVE IT...I TOO USE ALL THE ABOVE...
Mobasser reply :
I'm gonna have to try some. Always looking for something new
Scaleface, 6inch jelly worms would probably be considered finesse these days. Haven't fished em in a while but a killer worm for sure
greentrout reply :
STILL USE THESE OLD SCHOOL WORMS FROM TIME TO TIME...
Log Catcher reply :
I like the trick worms and u tale worms. I agree with Will1248 about the Zoom centipedes. They have saved the day for me many times. They have bad days fishing into good days catching.
MIbassyaker reply :
I don't think there is such a thing as a bad finesse worm. But what I like the most is actually a 4" berkley power worm on an Owner bullet ultrahead:
Bluebasser86 reply :
I really like the Netbait T-Mac (similar to a Zoom Trick worm). The discontinued Berkley Rib Snake was terribly ignored. There's always that line of not wanting to let the cat out of the bag about a good bait, but not wanting it to be too ignored and end up getting axed. A Zoom Centipede on a slider head is an excellent bait.
My all time favorite would have to be the Zoom Magnum Finesse worm on a shakyhead though. They're great rigged about any way, but the light shakyhead is my favorite, usually a 1/16 or 1/8oz.
And this is why!
Mobasser reply :
Nice! I have to agree that there really isn't a bad finesse worm. At one point or another they can all be good.
Bankbeater reply :
I use the Zoom finesse worm and Creme scoundrel worms the most, but I have never seen a plastic worm that wouldn't catch a bass if you used it long enough.

Agreed, I use whatever brand based on what I need at the time. Lately it has been swamp crawlers and kut tails.

After I tear the head of one up I bite that part down and then it becomes a finesse worm .

Always had good luck on the Zoom finesse Texas rig and the centipedes Carolina rig.

Zoom...... A 4" dead ringet6 on a shakey head has caught a lot of fish for me. Also like @Bluebasser86, a magnum finesse worm is a mainstay for me.

TOXIC reply :
5" Yamamoto Pro Senko. I use as a dropshot /Shakeyhead/Ned/small ball head bait. Very thin profile lot of action.
Brad in Texas reply :
I am almost reluctant to mention this one: the Reins Cross Swamp Worm. Reason? I wonder if the supply is going away??? TW is no longer carrying them; but, so far, I have been able to find them, and I just bought 5 packs of the larger size, but the smaller ones are absolutely great too for drop shots.
So, what is so different about these is when you hook them wacky style (well, there is no other choice actually), they literally float to the bottom like a butterfly slowly flapping its wings. To use any sort of weighted hook will defeat the purpose, and just drag the worm down too fast . . . so this is specifically for when the bass want a slow fall. These worms "out do" all others including Senkos for that special shimmering slow fall through the water column.
The hook? I use small Owner hooks and you lay the worm on its side so like this "X" tipped over. The hook is then pushed through the very center so it is perpendicular to the worm's long axis. Check a few YouTube videos to get this done correctly to ensure the best falling action.
Fall rate? On light finesse lines and a small 1 or 1/0 hook, the large Cross Swamp worms fall about 6" per second I'd guess. If they haven't been bitten on the fall (most common). let them soak for a minute, then pop them off the bottom an inch or so, like that.
If the wind and waves are really heavy, or if you are fishing in deeper water, yes, a very light weighted hook, like a a Zappu Inchi Wacky Head, will help take the worm down.
If the bass prefer a wacky rigging, if they want a slow fall, this tops them all.
Brad
P.S. the small version is really pretty small. I use them for drop shots.

Slider worms,3-4-5 inch.......love em. also producto tournament worm.
Drew03cmc reply :
I'd have to lean towards the Zoom Finesse Worms and Jackall Flick Shake 4.8. Both simply catch fish.
GrumpyOlPhartte reply :
I’m a fan of the Biospawn Exostick. Comes in 6” only, but I cut off the number of segments necessary to give the desired length. Seems to work well for me ... and it does give the bass something a little different.

I had some of these I received in a trade and could not figure out a good way to fish them so I sold them.

Tell Gary to make some 4" Slim Senkos in 306 Natural Shad as I will take 1k to start.

TOXIC reply :
I have been receiving a lot of feedback on the Natural Shad color so I ordered some in the 5" senko, 5" pro senko and the Shad Shaped Worm to try in my applications.

Zoom
AggieBassin10 reply :
I second the Zoom finesse worms but also like the smaller (can't remember the exact length) BioSpawn Plasma Tails. Both are good options
I usually fish mine on a 1/16 oz. shaky head but they're versatile so fish them how you want
I have not caught a ton of BIG fish on finesse worms but I usually catch numbers with fish in the 2-3 lb range if the conditions are right
