fishing user avatarsoccplayer07 reply : 

4 and 7.


fishing user avatarK_Mac reply : 

Another vote for Zoom finesse and trick worms. Trick worms most of the time, and the smaller finesse if the bite is slow.


fishing user avatarCarrington reply : 

i love strike king 3x finese worms, and i wanna say they are 7 inches


fishing user avatarCarrington reply : 

btw with the 3x worms, do not leave them in the sun, in heat, or with other plastics in the same bad, those 3 situations will ruin the worms.


fishing user avatarA-Rob reply : 

5" Gambler Dinger

4.75" Zoom Finesse worm

4.75-5" Zoom Shaky worm

the gamblers aren't used too much but they are awesome.


fishing user avatar-nick- reply : 

4" BPS Stik-o produces the most for me.

And NEVER dip them in JJ's Magic... ;D


fishing user avatarCarrington reply : 

why would you not dip them in JJ's? i was going to do that this spring since i just got JJ's


fishing user avatarHammer 4 reply : 

1...3X worms are so soft, they tend to Melt..

2..If you dip them in the clear JJ's, it will cause the scent to become tinted, i.e. the red shad makes JJ's clear, a reddish rose color....don't ask how I know this..lol

Instead, I would rub them down with Megastrike, and keep them in a zip lock baggie..

fishing user avatarjacobhookem reply : 

I really like 4.5 inch watermelon red flake zoom trick worms also 6 inch oxblood robo worms :) :)


fishing user avatarFishing Rhino reply : 

Without question, the Strike King Elaztech four inch finesse worm in coppertreuse color.

They are absolutely indestructible.  I've caught more than thirty fish on a single worm, and it still looked like new.  If you looked carefully you could see scuff marks on the surface from pickerel chewing on it.

A Strike King finesse worm will last until you lose it.

They do need to be prepped first.  They cannot be forced onto a bait barb, or a twist lock.

Heat a thin safety pin in a candle flame, and insert it into the nose of the worm to a depth of 3/4 inch or so.  It will melt the plastic, leaving a hole which will then receive the barb.

I prefer the ShakE2 jig heads from Megastrike.  Put the worm onto the barb with a small drop of super glue, and there it will stay.

Rig the worm weedless and you can dredge it through some pretty thick vegetation.  The only thing that will catch on  plant life is the knot.

The four inch worm is more like five inches long.

sorry, I prefer 4 inch  on spot removers...


fishing user avatarPrimus reply : 

I've done well with the Roboworm Fat Straight tail, Reaction Innovations Flirt and the Zoom Shaky Tail.


fishing user avatarSWMIBASSER reply : 

I guess I need to try some of the tricks to get a screw lock or post to go into a 3x worm.

I like em' but holy hell are they a pain to rig. I thought a barbed jig head like the strike king or bite me shakey heads would be the answer. Nope. Easier, but still a PITA

X2. I buy the 4" and also the 7" and cut them to the length I desire if needed.


fishing user avatarquanjig reply : 

I have to agree with Primus, reaction Inovations flirt 6.95 (just about any color) and the 5 3/4" yami kut tail in purple brown laminate........ You tell anyone that fishes the res, I'll kill you!!!


fishing user avatarbrushhoggin reply : 

roboworm zippers are THE best. i also like oxblood , 5 or 6 inch.


fishing user avatarDWG1984 reply : 

4.75" yum houdini worms


fishing user avatarVinny Chase reply : 

i purchased zoom trick worms to try and use the shaky head more, but it it doesnt suspend off the ground like i thought it would.

Am i doing something wrong or should i try a roboworm?


fishing user avatarHook Set reply : 

That's a nice tip Fishing Rhino!

My favorites

Zoom 4" finesse

Berley Gulp Alive

Strike King 4" finesse

I've even been know to throw a sweet beaver on a shakey head rig

I fish them all, except the Strike kings, on an Ikey head.


fishing user avatarBig Bait Fishing reply :

X3

trick worm in motor oil red and bubblegum

finesse worm in watermelon seed and just picked up new color... greenpumpkin magic...it looks awesome!


fishing user avatarjarhead1970 reply : 

X2 on the Roboworm Zipper


fishing user avatarhokiefisherman93 reply : 

carrington or anyone in central va...  where in the area do you pick up strike king 3x?  every place i go they seem to elude me


fishing user avatarRedtail reply : 

I like the 3X as well.

I found one of the best shakey heads for these is the Gamakatsu Skip Gap Shakey Head.  It goes on very easy and stays on, no fighting with the worm.

I found them at Tackle Warehouse.


fishing user avatarpowerman970 reply : 

I heard such good things about the Strike King 3X worms that I went out and bought a ton of them.  I fished one day with them and then I gave them to my daughter to play with.  She likes 'em....They stretch and snap back and I'm sure that if a 3 year old can't tear 'em up neither will the fish.  Yep, they float.  Yep, they are durable...They are also a pain in the butt to rig.

Back to NetBait and Zoom for me.

Strike King makes some awesome products but I think they overdid it on these things.  How about some 2X or maybe even 1 1/2X....


fishing user avatarmidnighthrasher reply : 

Strike king 3X.... These are awesome. Their only downfall is rigging them. Use some superglue. These were not created with the baitmonkey's consent. They are indestructable!!!!!!


fishing user avatarSiebert Outdoors reply : 

I use a robo worm look alike or a Yum look alike.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

GYCB 6 1/2" Kut Tail.

I like the tail action on this bait....pop the head and the tail whips, then slightly wiggles as it sinks.

Here's a little tub vid I made to show you what I'm talking about....watch the tail closely. A Trick Worm looks like it has rigamortis compared to this:

Dude, that video was awesome. Wanna trade some vids for some tackle?? :) (i'll have to get you a better shakey head though) LOL :)

b

Thanks....I'm really not sure what that head was....it was laying around and I used it for the video.  I don't think it's really a "shaky" head per se. 

I usually TX rig it with a pegged bullet since 90% of the time I'm throwing these in heavy cover.   


fishing user avatarbocabasser reply : 

zoom trick

gambler sweebo

the only 2 i use.


fishing user avatarA.Parris reply : 

7" Strike King 3X worm rigged on a Gitbit jighead will outfish all others Ive tried.


fishing user avatarjerkw8nonajerk01 reply : 

Big bite baits..squirrel tail woms 6.5 inch bluke fleck blue.I like strike kings as well but those are difficult to get on a screw bait keeper type jig head....big bites are cheaper..like a ribbed worm but taper in the center with a fat tail that floats...I feel the only thing that matters in shakey head is the tail sticking up...these are my pick..light weight..light line...I've got the only bass I have caught this winter with this bait....the only thing..no major dist I've seen carry em. I don't know how they feel about me dropping store names...but check in Ashland Va
