Mr Twister 6" phenom worm in black
Berkley Power worm 7" in black
Kidflex reply :
Lft hyperworm- blue fleck, my favorite and I have the most confidence in it. Smaller size for finicky fish and the standard size the rest of the time.
Choporoz reply :
Swimmer: Rage Tail Cut R
Curly tail: Rage Tail Anaconda
Shakey: Reins Swamp Mover
I use lots of others, but those 3 are far and above the rest.

MassYak85 reply :
Berkley 10" power worm on a T-rig or Carolina rig. It's my go-to bait for working the bottom during the warmer months, especially in and around vegetation. Started using bigger straight tails though the last couple years and have done well (Uptons customs, Manns Jelly worm). Zoom trick worms and roboworms for more finesse stuff.
Fishin' Fool reply :
Right now roboworms
LCG reply :
Trick worms by zoom
LonnieP reply :
Berkley Power worms T-rigged have caught a lot of bass for me over the years.
bigbill reply :
The orginal crime 6” blackworm. Rigged with a large sewing needle starting from the lump to the nose with a #4 smelled hook. Remove the needle once the line is out, add a splitshot. Cast it out, let it sit, move it 4”, let it sit, repeat till the next cast. It’s slow fishing but very productive. If you in a boat move the boat till the weeds are gone from shore. Cast into the weeds. If fishing from shore try to cast parallel to shore.
my second choice is the culprit 10/12” worms weighted with a jig head.

Zoom Trick and Swamp Crawler worms.
Zoom finesse worms.
Power Bait - all plastics.
YUM - all plastics.
Slider plastics.
Just for starters!
We have "presentation specific" plastics that are great for the Ned Rig, Drop Shot, Shaky Head, trailers on moving baits, punching, fluipping and pitching, etc. Way too many to list. But I do have a lot of confidence in those I listed above.

Rage Tail Thumper and Cut R
Fishes in trees reply :
Most of the time a 10" Berkley Power worm is rigged up & ready to go. I generally start with Blue Fleck. I wish Berkley would revive the old 6" Pulse worm, I think that is a better bait is stained to muddy water.
OCdockskipper reply :
Roboworm
Zoom Dead Ringer
I am leaving TRD's & other Zman Ned products off this because I consider them to be a separate category..

ohboyitsrobby reply :
Ol monster, mag 2, fat baby finesse worm, trick worm, centipede. I have a ton of confidence in those in various situations.
rod snapper reply :
I have some Bass pro tournament series ribbon tails (7") and they seem to do almost as well as a Senko type bait, in other words they are hugely successful at catching bass.
whitwolf reply :
Zoom: dead ringer, big dead ringer, magnum finesse , and the z- hog.
Mann's: auger tail.
Rebel: ring worms and rednecks.

Roboworm(s)
Zoom - Trickworm(s)
RB 77 reply :
There are plenty of different ones that come to mind, but if there could only be one, it would be a 6" straight tail. Preferably in some shade of purple (Junebug is nice) with a 3/16 tungsten bullet weight T-Rigged with a 2/0 Gammy RB hook.
Maxximus Redneckus reply :
Manns 6 " purple jelly worm and original culprits
I'm Blue reply :
yep,, used to love the Manns 6" Blue Jelly worms with a red tail,,, fished em wading in ponds and lakes as a kid on spinning tackle,,, no weight,,, would watch that red tail,,, when it disappeared JERK ! fish on !
James D.G reply :
Any of the zoom u-tails, are super where I fish, I like the speed vibes also
scaleface reply :
I like straight tail worms a lot but have trouble with line twist . I still use them a lot . Now , a curltail like the Phenom rigged with the tail pointed down pretty much eliminates twist .
MIbassyaker reply :
It would be easier to list the worms I don't have confidence in....
...and the list would consist entirely of the ones i've never fished.
I don't think there is such a thing as a bad worm.

Hmm...
Why spend your valuable time fishing just "any worm" when there are proven exceptional worms?

I didn't say that, though, did I.

NittyGrittyBoy reply :
Don't mention dead ringer, it's junk, doesn't catch fish at all.

Zoom Mag Shakey Head and Grande Bass Air Tails
Bdnoble84 reply :
Zoom trick worms wacky rigged, not sure it counts but gulp 3 or 5” leach dropshot, berkley powerworm t rigged, 5” curlytail worm in black with a chart tail gets me tough bites
evilcatfish reply :
Small straight tails: Iovino and Reins
Bigger straight tails: Upton
Curly tails: Zoom and Culprit

The first time I ordered the 6" dead ringer, I was disappointed that the additional 2" was basically all tail. I had wanted a longer worm with the same small tail as the 4" model.
Then I caught my PB on it and stopped worrying about it.
stepup reply :
Zoom Trick Worm is my go to worm. Change colors depending on where I am fishing.
Bankbeater reply :
Zoom finesse worm
Zoom mag II
Original Creme scoundrel
Mann’s 8” jelly worm
Big Mike in Fl reply :
I like trick worms (straight tail worms) of lots of different brands and varieties and do well on most of them, I have used and will continue to use 7.5 and 10” culprit ribbon tails. I like zoom ultra vibe speed worms. I just picked up some of the rage tail cut R worms and am hoping they work as well as I’ve seen, similar to a magnum speed worm best I can tell.
Honestly not a lot of worms that I have used that seem to just NOT work.
NittyGrittyBoy reply :
@OCdockskipper Dead ringer is a all time go to for me, I even dropshot with them. Solid producing bait, but it rarely gets mentioned at all. Dat tail tho...
But I kinda like it that way ????
primetime reply :
1- Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm in both sizes for topwater buzz bait presentation, cover water, and great for pitching, subsurface....texas, c-rig etc....
Gambler Burner worm is a bigger profile but also really good for bigger bites and more commotion as its a thick 7" senko with the cut curl tail.
2-
6" & 7.5" Culprit Ribbon Tails, and for pitching and fishing grass so the tails don't hang up as much, I like the Culprit Fat Max which is a thicker profile and something about culprit colors seems to make them shine especially in stained water....
I would then say for sure my next option is a zoom Trick Worm, 6" and 4" for finesse, and in Summer, if throwing a big worm.....I like any Junebug or Green Pumpkin Red 10-12" Ribbon tail. Rage Anaconda, Power worms, BPS curly tails in 12" black blue tail is a killer worm.....
fishwizzard reply :
I am a great lover of worms and even after "paring down" I think I still have like a dozen different ones in rotation. Perennial favorites are the Producto Tournament Worm (weighted t-rig and shakey), Zoom Trickworm (weightless t-rig, shakey, wacky, neko), and Culprit 10" ribbon-tails (heavier t-rig and shakey).
This season I am focusing on a few newer to me worms:
1) GYCB Senko. I know. I never really got into them before and I decided to see what the fuss is about. Oddly enough I am having the most luck with them t-rigged with a 1/16 bullet weight and fishing them with a pop-n-glide retrieve.
2)Zoom Swamp Crawlers. Using them as a general finesse worm and loving them so far. super versatile, durable, and really cheap.
3)Don Invino Fat Boy Worm. Going to try the classic glass and brass once I clean up my tackle pile and find my brass worm weights. I have used them a little so far on a dropshot and have had some good luck with them. I use a lot of 6" Robos on the DS right now and the Fat Boys might be a strong contender to replace them.
