Go To Brands For Plastics 2024
Yumf2 reply :
For me its netbait or havoc. Just wondering if anyone else is partial to certain brands of plastics, what do you use?
gulfcaptain reply :
Strike King/Ragetail, Kietech, Netbait, and V&M almost cover everything I need for the most part.
Lendiesel22 reply :
Rage
jonnyblazex reply :
It all depends what type of soft plastic, and what it's going on to me. For instance, a stick bait wacky rigged or tx rigged I like yamamoto senko, for big jig trailer on jigI like havoc pit boss or bruiser baits craw. For a compact craw on jig I like netbait paca, or zoom chunk. For tx rigged swimbaits, I like yum money minnows. For punching I like a missile baits d bomb. It really depends on the hook type I'm shooting for!!
flyfisher reply :
pretty much whatever i think looks good. i use Yum, Zoom, Rage Tail, yamamoto, Stankxbaitco, Big Bite Baits etc....i am sure there are a few others that i missed too.
whitwolf reply :
Zoom, Reaction Innovations, GYBC, Mann's, and on a rare occasion that I'm feeling nostalgic, some old Rebel ringwoms. 
Darren. reply :
I assumed you would say "YumF2" given your user name 
For me I pretty much go with BPS Stick-O worms, Zoom Trick and
Finesse worms, then GYCB Senkos.
Montanaro reply :
Rage, roboworm, gambler
Covers it all
ww2farmer reply :
Yum, Berkley (powerbait, havoc, and gulp) Netbait, Strike King, Big Bite.
Senko lover reply :
Rage tail is far and away my favorite soft plastic company. Havoc, Powerbait, Yum, ZMan, BBB, GYCB, you name it, I fish with most of them.
MidwestF1sh reply :
Rage tail and zoom for the most part. I'm not too stuck up on brands, if I see something I like I get it. I do like the gambler soft plastics just for how durable and the garlic sent.
KyAngler_1120 reply :
Mann's, NetBait, Berkley power worm, and Yum make up the majority of my plastics. Zoom in flukes and brush hogs too.
DaleGribble reply :
Lately I've been into elazteh stuff from SK or Zman. Other than that, gycb, zoom, yum, rage, and roboworms are just about all I need.
sprint61 reply :
Mainly Netbait and big bite.
Stingray23 reply :
They're all good but Zoom has been good to me.
lo n slo reply :
All I wanna do is a Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, and a boom-boom!
Alpha Male reply :
For me its really about the action of the particular mold more than brand.
ALL-TIME #1 is the KVD MAGNUM Dreamshot in Brown-Purple T-rigged
Close Second is the Kicker Frog From Berkeley.
I dont know what it is about those 2 but no matter where and when i throw those two they just produce.
Other baits I like by Type are:
Worm:
Yamamoto - Senko
Yamamoto - Pro-Senko
Zoom - Trickworm
Strike King - Rage Tail Anaconda
Roboworms - Most varieties
Z-man - Finesse worm
Z-man - Sawtail worm
Bass Assassin - Tapout worm
Owner - Shakeyworm
Owner - Shivertail worm
Craw:
Strike King - Rage Craw
Xcite - Raptor Tail Jr.
Z-man - Turbo Craw
Zoom - Speed Craw
Yum - F2 Crawbug
Cabelas - Swimming Craw
Missle- D Bomb
Yamamoto - Flappin Hog
I use some other types like Frogs, tubes, flukes, and creatures but those are the ones that I really like the action on. The Cabelas and Xcite baits are suprisingly good.
Evan K reply :
Zoom or Berkley Powerbait are my two first picks, but I'm not terribly partial.
WRB reply :
Worms;
Roboworms, Iovino worms, Uptom's Customs ( giant worms), Berkeley.
Craws; Berkley, GYCB.
Creatures; Reaction Innovation (beavers), GYBC, Strike King, Zoom (brush hog).

I use whatever works, the above are some of my favorites.

bigbill reply :

S. Sass reply :
- Zoom
- ZMan
- Berkley
- Havoc
- Mann's
- Zoom
- Netbait
- Yamamoto
These pretty much cover my usual purchases. But I am exactly like BuckerMouth15 as I have a little of all kinds but refuse to spend over $6 for a normal size package.

Bankbeater reply :
I think I have a little of everything in my bag. If it looks good I tend to buy it. It doesn't matter who made it.
PourMyOwn reply :
These days I just look at the bargain bin for stuff to melt down-usually a color that I like. If I'm buying new the GY stuff is great, and I love Mann's Auger tails. All of my other staples I pour, so I have a lifetime supply.
ABW reply :
I use Zoom and Rage the most.
Senko lover reply :

I got money on my mind, I can never get enough.....
scaleface reply :
They all work.I use whatever floats my boat at the time .
the reel ess reply :
Whatever I see that I like. But I'll usually buy Berkley PB or Zoom Craws, Zoom worms & flukes. Just like with beer, I like a variety and have no brand loyalties. My business can be earned.
the reel ess reply :
I don't know about all brands, but bass will bite and hold Berkley Powerbait for days. I've caught a few really nice fish when they "weren't biting" that I probably shouldn't have. One I thought was a tree branch. It pulled, I pulled, it pulled, then I set the hook, still thinking it was probably a branch. The fish didn't want to give up that meal. Funny how bites from the big gals just feel different.
Big gals need love too!
buzzed bait reply :
i have a favorite for different types.... but i like netbait, rage, missile, keitech
Scarborough817 reply :
Strike King and GYCB
Choporoz reply :
I use many different brands, but if I was faced with having to make a decision to use only one, it would be easy. Rage Tail.
With a Cut-R's, Structure Bugs, Anacondas and Rage Craws, I'd be pretty well set....might need to sneak in a few Roboworms, but most of my fishing would be covered.
olegs reply :
Rage Tail, GY, Jackall, Zoom
Jtrout reply :
Big bite culprit sk yama havoc yum
WIGuide reply :
I'll use whatever looks good, but I'd say my goto's are YUM and Big Bite Baits.
bowhunter63 reply :
Rage,Strike king and Berkley power bait
bkohlman reply :
I am not sure if I have a go to brand at this point. Really depends on each type of bait for me. But the brands I most often use are Zoom, Z-Man, Strike King, NetBait, Yum.
WRB reply :
Interesting list of brands, I am the only angler using RI beavers, amazing!
Tom
Jaw1 reply :
Most used zoom and roboworm
Also like berkley pb and bruiser
UKCATSBASSER reply :
I like them all. I have a tackle hoarding problem I guess
Mostly have zoom. But also have big bite, strike King, basstrix, reaction innovations, keitechs, havoc etc.
Also love me some gene Larew biffle bugs lol
UKCATSBASSER reply :
Shoot forgot about Missle, roboworm and senkos
BigBites1 reply :
I Really use a bunch of roboworm the straght worms and just started using their shads for swim jig. Won't go out with out at least one bag
jitterbug127 reply :
Zman
Primus reply :
I use a variety of baits, my top 3 would be Rage Tail, Yamamoto & Zoom .
kevin///mlee reply :
I use Yamamoto Senko, Roboworm, and BioSpawn Plasma Tail (in no particular order). Just depends on what I'm putting it on.
wisconsin heat reply :
Z-man is what I am into right now. That being said I probably have hundreds upon hundreds of conventional soft plastics. I really like Big Bite Baits, Berkley havoc/ powerbait, Yum is good, SK, Zoom. I've tried a lot of stuff haha, it all works.
Maxximus Redneckus reply :
Zoom manns culprit mister twister yum i think these makers cover anything you will ever need for bass at a great price point per ratio of baits.i have just about every manufacturers plastic out here and some out of business.IMO there is no need to pay 8$ for 8 baits when i can get bulk and double the 8$.And still slay bass bluegill rockfish bluefish all with the same stuff.fish aint picky unless your fishing a 300acre lake with no life.then even a 10$ bag of plastics wont get u bit
everythingthatswims reply :
Zoom and Havoc are the mainstays, but now I have to include z man for the ned rig. A 1/16oz wacky jighead and a trick worm has replaced my need for senkos
sarcazmo reply :
90% of the time I fish with plastics I poured. So much more fun that way :-)
gr8outdoorz reply :
I am only partial to action. Don't really care what name is on the bag.
The colder the water, the slower the action I want.
The warmer the water, the faster the action I want.
Just about all soft plastics catch fish when used in the right situations.

Nope...Rage Tail and the majority of the Reaction Innovations line.
Especially the Sweet Beaver and Skinny Dipper
Mike
singlecoil reply :
I try different plastics but the brands I seem to buy every year would be Zoom for super flukes and trick worms, Strike King elastic finesse worms, Yamamoto for fat ikas, spider grubs or hula grubs and senkos, also buy Arkies spider grubs, and I started recently using Mission D-bombs beaver style baits for flipping and will keep using them. Pretty much covers most of my T-rigs, pitching, flipping and shakey head and skipping.
garvin reply :
Z-Man anything
Strike King Perfect Plastics and 3X
Zoom worms
Jaw1 reply :
I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to both z-man and sk perfect plastics. I can't stand them. Just gave away everything I had with that type of material in it to the local kids. It's just a pain to work with to me. I did keep some Ned rig z-man stuff because I haven't gotten to try the technique out yet
Jar11591 reply :
Strike King Rage Tail, GYCB, Zoom and Culprit cover pretty much every soft plastic I use.
MasonV reply :
I'd say I'm using Yum 90% of the time
hoosierbass07 reply :
yum Yum YUM DINGERS!!! They are cheap and you get a lot in the pack. Also Berkley powerbait worms. Those two are my favorite. My third - RoboWorms.
dam0007 reply :
I have certain brands for certain techniques or presentations. With that said Rage Tail is definitely at the top of the list.
zeth reply :
Keitech, Zoom then I branch out from ther for more specialized things.
kickerfish1 reply :
It may be easier for me to list what brands I don't use.
Sam reply :
1. Rage Tail
2. Zoom
3. Slider
