I still use the Big Ol Monster from Zoom.  I am always surprised at how fish will destroy this big piece of soft plastic.

I only use ribbon tailed worms when I'm looking to cover a lot of water more as a search bait. I'll swim it with a handle turn, pause until it contacts bottom and repeat. I also use it at night slow rolling it like a spinnerbait. In either case, I'll switch to a G-Tail oe a paddle tail once I contact fish. They are baits I also fish fast, but not as fast as the ribbon tail and I use the Rod, not the reel to move them along.
