Worm Suggestions 2024
rippin-lips reply :
I mainly throw senko style worms but I know there is 100 different styles. I have a bunch of trick worms but honestly never use them because I don't get bit. I have a bps gift card and I'm looking to try some new plastics this season. So if you could give me some new things to look in to that would be great. Obviously senkos aren't the only worms I own or use. I'm just looking for other worms that are good for T rigs mainly.

I had some good luck with a Trigger X Hammer worm this fall. I have the 10-inch version in black/blue. I rigged it texas style and used a sort of more agressive hop on the bottom. It did alright. Might give that a whirl for a large worm.

The Rage Tail Cut-R is new this year. I had GREAT luck with it this summer.

I like rage products so I'll put those on the list.

Zoom finese worm worked well for me, I had to really slow down to give these a try, and stick with them. It payed off in the end!

That worm looks very versatile and deadly in the right situation.

Zoom ol'monster worm is killer

Culprit ribbon tail worms, Roboworms, Rage Tail thumper & anaconda, and V&m wild thang.
Arv reply :
The majority of my worms are Rage Tail or Zoom but I'm adding Roboworms in there slowly but surely. I like them a lot for my drop shotting and shakeyheads as an alternative to some of the zoom worms I use.
Crestliner2008 reply :
If you are into big worms, try the 10" Yamamoto curly tail. Rig it weedless on a large 7/0 off-set worm hook, tail up. Bring it over the top on the edge of weed pad or beds and be prepared for some seriously explosive strikes! I like the black with blue tail. 
Sam reply :
Western Maryland. Cumberland? Deep Creek Lake? North Potomac River? Hagarstown?
Tell us the waters you fish and we can give you some better responses.
For example, Deep Creek Lake you can throw any plastics on any presentation if you are in a boat.
North Potomac River will be smallmouth and sometimes smallmouth don't want plastics.
Ponds? Smaller lakes? Plastics should work.
Check out drop shot and shaky head techniques and consider fishing them on spinning gear around any docks, piers, pilings, structure and wood along the shoreline or bank.
Zoom trick worms and baby brush hogs should produce some action. Finesse worms to Rage Tail Anacondas can also work.
Just go out and experiment and let the bass tell you what they want on that day and time. And after you figure it out the bite will go away and you have to start over!!!! Have fun.
B-Dozer reply :
BPS is one of the few places I found that still sell Mann's Jelly worms.
rippin-lips reply :
Yeah see I know nothing about those. Heard of them but that's it. Heck some of them mentioned I haven't though. Small town living stinks when you're a fisherman.
Insanity reply :
Culprit 7.5 are all I've used for years. Still work fine. Moccasin and Black Shad for big fish.
Raul reply :
If you don´t get bit with a Trickworm then you must not be doing something right, straight trail worms ( Trickworms mainly ) have been my number 1 worm style for more than 3 decades, maybe 80% of the time I tie a worm it´s going to be a Trickworm; my number 2 worms style is the ribbontail worm ( Culprit 7.5" ) and my number 3 worm is a C tail shape worm.
I seldomly fish with stickbaits ( senko style ).
rippin-lips reply :
See I've heard this a lot and that's why I bought a bunch. Plus I've never noticed anyone around me fishing them so I figured show them something new and catch more fish.

I always resort back to the stick worms because they catch me fish. I own a handful of different style worms based on info from BR but they don't seem to produce for me.
Raul reply :
Maybe the problem is that you are fishing your non stickbait worms like if they were stickbaits.
fstr385 reply :
Zoom are one of my favorite plastics all around. Strike king stick worms work ok, but I noticed they last longer than most others.

You could be on to something here. Other then the slow drag/hop or lift/fall methods I don't know how else you'd fish a worm.
Mytoyzfishing reply :
Trick worms on shakey head was the ticket for me October and November.
rippin-lips reply :
I've never fished a shakey head. I can't stand slow finesse presentations. I won't throw a weightless worm very often because it takes to long to get to the bottom. Even when I fish wacky it's on a weighted jig head.
Felix77 reply :
Zoom Ultra Vibe worm. I also love the new Rage CutR worm.
Gaerith reply :
Berkeley power worms are my back ups to senkos. Finesse worms and roboworms for dropshots.
Have you ever tried splitting the end of a senko? 1/2s or 1/4s. Gives it an interesting flutter in the tip, and works good in conjunction with dye IMO.
rippin-lips reply :
Might have to give that a try. Split both ends and throw it wacky rigged.
Felix I've heard them mentioned a bunch so I'll add them to the list also.
So as it stands I'll be grabbing some
Rage tail cut r
Zoom ultra vibe
pbizzle reply :
NetBait C-Mac!!! My favorite worm by far. Great action, durability, and price. They also have a fairly slow fall rate, even when rigged on a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce Texas rig. I find that bass will hold on to them a lot longer and strike harder than compared to an ol' monster. I think that you should really consider picking a pack up to try for the $3 bucks they cost.
rippin-lips reply :
Thanks for the tip. They're basically a power worm with more colors to choose from. I'll try them for sure.

This is going to be the main worm I use this year. I just started using their b bug this year and did very well on it.

I've been really impressed by netbait. At first I thought that they were just another brand like Big Bite Baits (which I love) that copied other brands and made cheaper lures, but boy was I wrong. The dirt dawg is an extremely original lure, and they invented the Paca Craw. Big Bites has also put out some original lures like the warmouths, squirrel tails, and real deal craws.
Dyerbassman reply :
Berkley Powerbait Worms in motor oil color have worked everywhere for me, texas rigged with a 3/16 bullet weight. I know they aren't the "cool" or "trendy" brand, but they work and the price can't be beat.

That may not be a correct statement? Wacky Worm was selling them before Netbait from what I remember.

have you tried the new z drop worms from zoom?
Just as good as roboworms on shakey head or drop shot just not as many colors
Arv reply :
I wasn't even aware of those! I'm definitely going to check them out. As for the colors, they have enough for me. Thanks for the heads up!On 12/30/2013 at 12:28 PM, basshole8190 said:have you tried the new z drop worms from zoom?

MacP reply :
+1 on the Z drops. I drop shot those and Roboworms almost exclusively.
To the OPs question:
Dropshot: Roboworms in Bold Bluegill, SXE Shad, Aaron's Magic, Kerrlicious, Warmouth. Zoom Z-drop in Green Weenie and Green Pumpkin.
Shakey head: Zoom Finesse and Trick Worms. I use loads of colors, Green Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Watermelon are staples though.
Wacky Rig: Senkos, Yum Dingers, Trick Worms. Same Colors apply here.
Split shot: (I fish flukes here too, but you're asking about worms) Roboworms, Dead Ringers, Ultravibe Speed worms. Heavy split shot speed worm can be fished like a swim jig at a lower depth.
Texas Rig: Zoom Ol Monster, Mag IIs, Trick Worms, Finesse Worms, Ultravibe Speed Worms, Senkos, Yum Dingers.
If you're looking to just try new things out. I can't recommend Roboworms enough.. They are soft, but they flat catch fish. I have as much confidence in them as I do any other product on the market. There is a reason both the fat and straight tail version never leave ***'s best seller list.
My top three worm votes:
Roboworm, Zoom Mag II, Trick Worms.
whitwolf reply :
When the bite gets tough I have two go- to- worms: a Zoom 4" dead ringer and a Zoom utail. I have caught so many fish on these throughout the years It's unreal.
Toeshots reply :
I still the love the 7" Power Worm in Blue Fleck or Black w/Blue Fleck.
Bought several packs of Roboworms which I'll be trying on Shaky Head and the T-Rig this year. Can't wait to get them in the water.

4" dead ringer on a c rig murder em for. me and the 6 & 8" dead ringer are my number 1 t rig bait
Darren. reply :
Wow. Tons of suggestions, what to do?!
Me, I throw GYCM Senkos, I throw BPS Stick-O's. I like both, catch fish on both. Not so much Yum brand, but they've caught me fish, too.
I stick to "standard" colors in green pumpkin and watermelon, had most success on watermelon magic, watermelon + hot pepper frog....
Insanity reply :
Manns jelly worm? Didn't they have a flat tear dropped shaped tail.
I used to use one like that weightless when nothing was biting. Or when the fish are really up shallow against the bank. (Black bass farm ponds.) Just a little twitch of the rod makes it come to life like crazy. And so do the fish. They couldn't stand it.
I did have an old boy skunk me good one day. With a new worm years ago. The tail was wide like rage tail. But ribbon. For some reason they where eating it up and they wouldn't touch the same color culprit worm. I never got a bag as I was trying to get off the Texas rig a little. And none of his fish where over two pounds.
TrippyJai reply :
If you like the Gary Yamamoto baits then get yourself some Kut Tail worms. They produce for me always when I want something finesse.
rippin-lips reply :
I don't throw many actual senkos. Stick baits would of been a better choice of word. A lot of great info in here. I'm just wanting to try new styles of worms other then senkos for T rigs.
Thanks to anyone that's given suggestions.
A-Jay reply :
Tie on a 10 inch Black Berkley Power, a black 1/4 ounce tungsten bullet weight and a 5/0 EWG worm hook and you'll be fishing a bait that's been a big bass stable for over 20 years.
The classic ribbon-tail design has a life-like swimming action when twitched or on the fall.
The soft texture enhanced by the Power scent and flavor formula just works and once bit is rarely rejected.

Worm fishing is a slow finesse presentation, watching the grass grow slow. Wtless finesse worm and fluke fishing is one of my better techniques. Try this especially during spawn, but it has to be slow ,with accurate presentation. Have to slow down to worm fish, good luck.

I'm right there with you. My number one night bait is a 8" big dead ringer
Sherlock 60 reply :
Try some 7" Yamamoto Cut Tail worms. They are usually my second choice after the good old 5"Senko.
