Welcome to the board. As a newbie, you have no Idea the can of worms you just opened. So sit back and enjoy.
BTW, for me it's Culprit for worms, Rage Tail for craws, and BPS for their Tender Tubes.

I am lovin the Rage Tail Cut R Worm right now
scaleface reply :
Scuppernong-flavored Jelly Worm .
Senko lover reply :
Stickworms! Any size, any shape. Cut'R worms, Yum Dingers, Strike King Shimmy sticks, higher end ones like the actual senko. They work, any rig, any waters.
OntarioFishingGuy reply :
Power Minnow!
Penguino reply :
Zoom ribbontails.
geo g reply :
I would say senko type baits will catch fish under all conditions. The 4" size will catch more fish, and fish of all size, then the bigger version. I personally used the bass pro stick-o which is a way better buy, and it's just as good a fish catcher as the expensive Japanese version. Use the least amount of weight for the weather conditions. The more wind the more weight. I often throw weightless Texas rigged, and fished slow on loose line so it slow flutters on the fall through the water column. I have caught thousands and thousands of fish on the little bait. Great bank fishing bait also. It seldom hangs up even in the thickest cover. It is definitely my go to bait!

Love me some roboworms and zoom trick worms on a drop shot!
Long Mike reply :
You will receive as many opinions as there are plastic baits. Why not rephrase your question and ask for opinions on specific baits?
CK_32 reply :
Depends, on the weather, the water conditions, where/what I'm fishing.
Most of the time, being I live in sunny CA for salt fish like halibut and bay bass .
I usual go to is a 3.5" swim bait by hammer. But I just started pouring my own so pretty soon my own baits are ganna be my favorite. Hopefully

Robo-worms on a shaky head rig also.
Long Mike reply :
What size and type of worm did you have in mind? There are many variants.
Mossyoak88 reply :
4-15 inch swirly tail
Ozark_Basser reply :
GYB hula grub or Don Iovino reapers
ABW reply :
Senko, Pit Bosses, and Rage Craws for me
For worms I like the Berkley Powerworm but I want to try out some of the ones that Rage Tail has to offer.
plumworm reply :
Where is going to go from here? I once watched a young girl catch a bass on a pink senko at a boat landing on Rayburn. (true story)
whitwolf reply :
R.I. Beavers(smallie and sweet) and many Zoom plastics. Last year the Zoom magnum finesse worm was a very good bait, fished weightless.
TheSmilingSwordsman reply :
Oh wow! Here we go.
Short strait tailed worm: Roboworm 6 inch
Long worm: Zoom Ol' Monster
Stick Bait: Yamamoto Senko
Craw: Rage Tail Rage Craw
Beaver Style: Berkley Havoc Pit Boss
Creature Bait: Zoom Baby Brush Hog
Soft Jerk Bait: Zoom Super Fluke
These are some of my favorites but by no means is this list locked in nor am I opposed to fishing a different brand than what I have listed. For instance, take the Roboworm I have listed as my favorite short strait worm, I often use a Zoom Finesse worm which is a direct competitor. Instead of a Senko, I will often use a Yum Dinger. There are very few soft plastics that have not worked for me at one point or another.
If you are new to the world of soft plastics, I recommend you read as much as possible here on Bass Resource and find one or womtechniques you would like to try. Then go buy a couple of packs of plastics and hooks to match, take them to the lake and start experimenting.
Have fun and good luck.
Drew03cmc reply :
When I'm tossing worms, give me a Zoom Finesse worm rigged weightless. Craws are my favorite plastic bait and if im not on a watershed that I can look for 100 fish days, the Yum Craw Papi is tough to beat, but for a more durable bait, the Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw and hopefully the ZMan Turbo CrawZ will work out. I don't toss tubes, but I like Kalin's grubs.
DocNsanE reply :
Yum Dingers have worked for me as well as senkos and are cheaper.
Rage craws are fantastic
Am looking forward to trying the Stanley Y-Not.. those floating appendages look killer.
Zoom Super Flukes are fun to fish and last year I caught a ton on the Strike King Caffeine Shad

Do you bite the heads off the 6" models to shorten them or do you glue a 1/2" to the shorter models to make them measure up to 5"?
Roboworms don't come in a 5" size .

Haha. No, I guess I just had the length wrong in my head when I typed this up. They are in fact 6".

Just messing with you. You are correct, the 6" models are killer - a 6" Aarons Magic was responsible for the PB in my avatar photo.
TheSmilingSwordsman reply :
Aaron's Magic is my favored color as well. It just flat out works.
chrisdm4 reply :
Yamamoto flappin hog for sure! killed it last year with them. Sinko is right behind it though.

I like the Berkley Gulp Turtleback worms, but they are a little tricky as far as handling. If you leave it on the rod for too long (90 minutes?) without getting it wet, it is ruined (shrinks & gets hard). The packages they come in are notorious for leaking, so I end up double bagging them to stop the juice from leaking all over. As a bait however, I have had good luck with the junebug & pumpkinseed colors when I have used them.
I just re-read my post - "shrinks & gets hard", "double bagging", "juice leaking all over"... I am talking about plastic worms, right?

Excactly! I was fishing at a pond using senkos, but ran out. I remembered I had a pack of Cut r Worms I had bought on a whim at DSG because they were on sale a few days earlier. I haven't used any senkos since! hahaha. I get a lot of topwater blowups on them, just as I am about to pull it out of the water to recast! I am usually fishing at night so it scares the crap out of me everytime!
