trick worms

Featured Replies

I've heard and seen them but what kind of water would you fish them and whats the best way to rig them

I like adding a nail weight on in the tail end. Hook it 3/8 from the top and Tex Pose hook it. It will stand vertical. Drag it. This is a good finesse presentation around sparse weeds.

Weedless texas rig and work them like a fluke for me. Lots of ways to use them adding a little weight usually gets more bites if your not real shallow.

Wacky style with a 1/32 tungsten slip sinker on them.

Off the edge of a grass bed works for me.

the trick worm can do anything.

i texas rig them.. i carolina rig them.. i shakey head them... its endless.

one of the greatest little worms ever.

just put it on a hook.... itll catch something.

If I could only fish one bait in the world it would be a trick worm.  Here is how I rig them...

weightless on a 3/0 ewg hook- Twitch your rod tip to the side with three or so quick twitches and the bait will move through the water like a slithering snake, then kill it and let it sink----Deadly!  They almost always hit on the fall.  If you use a smaller lighter hook they will almost float.

weighted with a 1/8th oz. bullet wieght.  Fish it just like you would any other weighted plastic.

weightless wacky rig- when they have hammered it so much it is torn on one end.  Just throw it and let it sink, twitch it a few times, let it sink. 

Black and junebug red are awesome colors for Zoom trickworms.

The Zoom Trick Worm is probably one of the best plastic worms every produced. Hook it any way you like. It flat catches bass.

I like to rig it Texas style behind a short Carolina type rig, with a light 1/16 oz. sinker. A deadly finesse approach. But there are many ways to use it.

Funny you say that because I have caught fish on every other trick worm I have used except the Zoom.

I use/have used tons of trick worms.

I have 2 bags of Zoom trick worms and have used them over and over with no bites.

They look and act no different than the others but I just cant catch a fish with them. I no longer keep them with me when fishing.

I use them this way in all conditions and depths to 30' so far:

Is tha a piece of shrink tube?

Fish it any way you can imagine and it will catch fish

I believe that it is better than a turd looking senko

(Now I'm going to bunker down because when the senko lovers read that there going to freeeeak...........but I'm ready for them )

lol ;D

Send them to me, I'll catch the fish for you.

I like them in shallow weedy conditions when bass are shallow and need a very slowly falling lure.

I like zoom's trick worm in white, bubblegum, and more natural colors too, rigged with a 3/0 EWG gammy, thrown on 8 pound test with spinning gear.

  • Super User

But as the others have said, with a nail weight you can fish them deeper, with casting gear and heavier line.

Even better than Zoom's Trick worm is Creme's original Scoundrel in the 6" size. Wild flicking action.

grizzly, yes that is 1/4" electrical shrink tubing. I add it when fishing in heavy vegetation, timber, and around docks. It keeps the hook eye in the bait when it's being pulled thru stuff.

I fish trick worms t-rigged with 1/4-3/8oz tg weight.  I use junebug or green pumpkin.  I rarely use any other worm. 

I have fished them weightless but have not had much luck.
