I've never used SK ones, all I know is that the killer wiggle action of the zoom trick worm catches fish. It wiggles on a very slow roll, and shimmys on a fall. Deadly. How do the SKs compare to the action of the zooms?

I won't be able to fish them until springtime.

you should definitely try the trick worms on a shaky head. I started using this a few years back, and it quickly became my confidence bait. My favorite setup is the war eagle 3/4 oz. shaky heads with a green pumpkin trick worm.

Upton's Customs, now available from TW, makes a high floatation hand poured trick worm called a Dragon Tail in 6" and 9", check them out, good worms. Started fishing Josh's 9", 13" and 16" worms several years ago and they work good.

I have used both the strike king finesse worm and zoom trick worm in gin clear creeks. The trick worm has way more tail wiggle/action versus the strike king worm. This really suprised me, as I have seen other strike king products with tons of action.

So, to sum it up, I would give the strike king finesse worm the nod ONLY in cold water conditions.

Just another presentation that has its time and place. Some days dead-sticking doesn't produce, others it does. Keep up the experimentation. Trick Worms are super versatile, as are their younger sibling, Finesse Worms...

Those Zoom Finesse Worms are pretty effective with the Flick Shake technique.  Had some exceptional days with them last August on some smallies when they would hit nothing else.
