Direct me to a floating worm!

Featured Replies

I'm looking for a true floating worm... not neutrally buoyant, but one that will float directly to the surface when released.  I want the tail of a jig/worm to lift strait up from the bottom... quickly!  5" to 7" will do.  Give me your selection, but don't lie about the buoyancy!

Don't recall if they float to the surface, but a Roboworm does great. Love them on a shakey head  :D

The red lable 3X Strike King worms, and the Renegade (sold at Walmart) straight worms in the kit with 4 colors.

I have tested about a dozen of the so called floating worms and those are the only two I found that really float.

If you want a worm that will lift the weight of the hook also the SK 3x is the only one that I know off. And I would still use a light wire hook..........Al

For a smaller profile, the Strike King 3X finesse worms are true floating worms.

the stanley sidewinder does a darn good job floating rigged weightless

Try DichosoBaits . He can make it with several different types of plastic, one of which totally floats.. You can also  pick from a ton of colors (or request a custom color), plus you can add your selection of flake to it.

I believe Gambler makes a floating worm, but don't hold me to it.

They sure do, and it has been my most productive floating worm over the years.  :D

I too have had good luck with the Strike King 3X Finesse 7" they do float and are super stretchy. Ive had a few melt though.

I use a syringe to inject air into any soft plastic bait I want to have bouyancy.

Totally love these, try them with a light wire hook with a split shot or carolina rig.  They work great.

I really have to try the ribbon tails, they look really nice.
