Zoom Centipede

Featured Replies

I picked up a couple of these bags on sale and have never used them before. What are some of the best ways you guys use these? I'm thinking mojo rig or wacky post front for a smaller profile bait. Thanks for the info.

I've rigged them wacky, and mojo. Actually haven't used them in a while, though. They were "fairly" effective, but not enough to displace my Zoom Finesse worms...

Carolina Rig

I've used them on a dropshot and done ok.

Texas rigged. There is a couple guys in my club that kill it with these when no one else is catching anything.

Weed less with a nail weight. They kill around weed beds

X3 ... This is the best tactic to use a "french fry" type soft plastic (zoom centipede) .

Rig sideways with a 2/0 owner offset hook and stick the nailweight in the tail of the bait it will glide down toward the fish. Great way to get a lot of bites postspawn . It also works well on a mojo rig .

How many ways you know to rig a senko ? well, those plus some more, one of my favorite ways is Split Shot rigged nose hooked.

Fantastic mojo rig and carolina rig bait, my go to for that. Especially good in the summer fished through grass when it's hot out and the bite is tough. Just a steady drag a few feet, then pause, and sometimes a couple short twitches.

The only way I've fished them has been weightless. I seem to do better with them wacky rigged, but texas rigged has also gotten bit. I've never caught anything over 8" on them though.

Curious how YOU rig a centipede straight up & down with the ribs on top OR rig it on the flat side ?

shakey head is the only way ive used it but i think i would use them almost anyway you would use a senko

What ever you do, don't peg a 1/4oz tungsten sinker to it's nose and flip it in the same places you would usually use a jig or creature bait when that bite is off.

I like a split shot mini carolina rig. I always threw them on spinning rods too.  I have bags and bags of these.  Might put some in the flea market this weekend.
