I am a big fan of plastics, mainly worms. I have been running through as many kinds as i can in the past year and a half spending equal amounts of time with each brand and style that i try, trying to find "the one". What i realize though is, for me, there is no "1". But there is 2!! I find having an action packed worm like a rage tail anaconda and then having something alot more subtle like a zoom trick worm has helped me tremendously. If 1 doesnt work i can throw the other and get bit. I guess sometimes they just want a more subtle approach vs all the action of the rage tail dancing in there face and vice versa.
Do you have that 1 worm you throw faithfully, or do you have a couple favorites?
Netbait C-Mac and the T-Mac, Senko,Zoom U-tail
I'm trying to narrow it down too packman,but i have: ribbon tail,paddle tail,kut tail,straight tail/stick bait,trick worm,etc..not buying anymore worms until i deplete the huge stock yeah,right!
they ALL work at certain locations/time of season,but i'm just too far gone for help!
I really do well on zoom u tails and luck e strike hook tail worms in the 6" size. A 7" Berkley power worm is my favorite aggressive worm.
When they want something subtle, a 4.5" robo worm fat worm, zoom's finesse worm and the luck e strike ring worm are my go to choice, on a split shot rig.
Yum 5" Dinger in Watermelon Seed all day! For a better deal, a company sells pretty much the same worm on eBay in bulk. Something like 100 for $27.
I’ve used Ringworms since about the mid 70s, they offer a thicker profile yet they have less plastic for the hook to penetrate.
My #2 would be creature baits
Yum big show paddle tail worms. Yamamoto kut tail for smaller profile.
I'm a huge fan of the Hag's Tornado............
Here's my worm(s)
Al**ring Baits (Black)
yum Dinger (watermelon)
Luck-E-Strike curly tail (Black)
Berkley Powerworm (tequila sunrise)
Zoom trick stick (watermelon)
Luck-E-Strike jogger worm (watermelon)
Edited by grimlinid have to say roboworm, zoom trick worms, and senkos. i use robo the most.
Zoom Tricktail worm is the only one I use.Colors are black,watermelon/chart. tail,watermelon magic.
I am bad to throw a 10" power worm in junebug. Like 'em better with the tail dipped chartreuse. This year I am throwing more jigs than anything though.
7inch power worm in pumpkinseed is the only worm i really need to throw. Weightless i may throw a trick worm (i want to say bama craw) nose hooked with i believe a #4 octo hook. usually thow that as a follow up bait on missed fish.
oh yea, forgot to mention the jackall flick shake worm and the yum mightee worm. amazing amazing baits.
Zoom dead ringer in junebug or green pumpkin on a carolina rig, or Zoom finesse same colors on a shakey head.
As summer time nears I will have a 10" Zoom Ol Monster tied on!!!!
5" Senko in Watermelon Pepper or Smoke Pearl Blue; GYB Cuttail Worm in same colors.

Same here! have some nice summertime/nightime hunts w/ the 10" ol' monster crawlin through the grass beds Gonna try the 12" monster this year,cant wait..
Senkos
Powerworms
Finesse Worms
Trick Worms
And some more, but those are just kinda the standards.
Zoom Ol' Monster is my favorite, but I use a bunch
Zoom ol' monster and Berkley 10" powerworms for me. I have a stock of 7" powerworms for the times that the 10 inchers are too big for their appetite.
JuneBug Trick Worm/Producto Grape Worm
My go-to is the Zoom 6" motoroil/chartreuse tail Finesse worm. Great for largemouth when nothing else works.

Try the 4" dead ringer on a shakeyhead....It's deadly.

I use it in the winter months a bunch It does produce fish for me when its slow.
Easy question - hard answer.
Depending on the technique I like certain worms and plastics for different presentations.
So fo rme to have a favorite #1 followed by an overall #2 is not my style.
I like them all!!!!!
zoom u-tale in pumpkinseed/with chart tail
This is a great topic for us to try something new and maybe better than what we normally use.Go to Grandebass.com and check out the rattlesnake worms,been using them now for three years.
I will start off with a Senko. If that doesn't work I will start using a finesse worm.
I've had the most success with (and, naturally, the most confidence in) ribbon-tail worms. I use both 7" and 10" from Yum, Culprit, Zoom, Barlow's tackle, and Power worms.
After that, it's a toss-up between Senko-type worms and Ringworms.

All Terrain senkos on a 1/8oz Owner shaky head or powerbait 7" green pumpkin worm on a green pumpkin eco pro tungsten 1/4oz bullet weight.

That's my favorite color also.

Culprit 10 inch ribbon tail in red shad.
Grande Bass Rattle snake in june bug and trophy hunter.
I'm pretty loyal to Zoom Trick Worms and Yamamoto Senkos, however I have started using Roboworms recently with good success.
I throw other types of soft plastics a lot more than worms lately but if I must catch at least a few fish the Zoom Trick worm (white, junebug, green Pumpkin/chart) never lets me down. I'll also throw Culprit worms (pumpkin seed, red shad), and the Zoom Ultra Vibe worm (junebug, watermelon red).
