Senko's, Slug-O's,etc. (Whats Your Favorite Bass Worm?)

Featured Replies

What are your favorite bass worms? How do you fish them? Maybe certain times and certain places?

Housatonic River? Try the channels near Bul's Bridge with a Mann's jelly worm. 8" black grape. Depending on the level, they work pretty well their. If you flyfish hoppers are a lot of fun there too pretty soon.

Rage Tail Anacondas and Grandebass Megatail Rattlesnakes on a Rage rig.

zoom trick worms and magnum trick worms, any color really but red shad and baitfish are my favorites, grande bass rattlesnake in june bug, black/blue flake or trophy hunter

kvd fineese worm in mutilator. all fished texas rigged weightless with a 3/0 to 5/0 hook sometimes a EWG or just a std offset worm hook depending on cover and thickness of the worm. Usually fish them parrallel to grass beds, across culverts, around shady areas/overhaning trees and through light weeds near waters edge. you can let them sink and slowly reel in or pick up the pace, lift the rod tip up and bring them top water.

Which one floats the best?

I'm partial to 7" or 7-1/2" ribbon-tail worms. I don't really favor one brand over another, I use Culprit, Yum, Zoom, Power Bait, etc. The brand that I use the most is Barlow's house brand, mostly because I can get a bag of 100 for ~ $14 and they work as well as anything else. Favorite colors are (in no particular order): Red Shad, Tequila Sunrise, Junebug, Watermelon Pepper and Black w/red flake.

I fish them t-rigged, weightless or with a (usually) pegged bullet weight. Hop or drag them along the bottom through brush, rocks or any other cover that's available. I've caught bass on them pretty much any time and any season.

The Rage Tail 10" Thumper

  • Super User

My favorite is the dead ringer by zoom, this bait has many options regarding tail and are hard to find locally, its awesome. Then Rage Tail Anaconda, great,

5" Senkos and fished wacky rigged, any time and anywhere.

Senko's. Just got some Rage Tail Thumpers that I haven't tried yet but I'm liking how they look, hopefully the fish will too

7" Rage tail anaconda is my general use worm. Usually T rigged with a 1/4 oz weight. The 10" Rage tail thumper is a hard to beat when fish are deep and I want a larger presentation. Other than those 2 I dont really fish many plastic worms anymore but I always have a pack of Senkos, trick worms and power worms for ponds. I fish those 3 weightless. Colors are simple, GP, Red Shad and baitfish color. Keep it simple!

Try those Anacondas Rage rigged. :respect-059:

T-rig- 7" power worm or anaconda

Weightless- GYCB senko

Shaky head- RI Flirt, 3" senko

C-rig- LFT ring fry

Dont use alot of variety in color. I use some shade of green with red/black flake or black with blue flake for all my soft plastics.

6" Roboworm Straight Tail. Caught fish every different way I've rigged it.

Mister Twister Ribbon Tail worms

The Original Zipper Worm, Watermelon Red/Black flake.

My best bass this season so for including my all time best (10lbs) have all been caught on a 10" culprit worm, either red shad or June Bug.

I throw nothing but a tungsten weight ( usually 1/4 oz) and a 4/0 gammy EWG offset.

For wacky rigging yum dinger or a Magnum zoom trick worm in green pumpkin chartreuse

Zoom 10" Ol Monster,

Rage Tail Anaconda 7" & 10"

Year round I catch fish on wacky rigged Senkos. I generally start out trips trying other techniques, but if they're not biting what I'm throwing I know I can just throw that Senko out and start catching fish. It's amazing how they keep hammering these after all of these years.

Trigger x hammer worm. Producto tournament worm.

Dying to try the rage tail anaconda. Very impressed with their craws/lobster.

Another good worm is the Grandebass MTRS. Same body as a Rage Tail recon worm, but a slightly slimmer tail. Academy has them for $1.88 a bag right now if anyone wants to give them a shot.
