I am partial to...

 

- 9" Fat Max - T-rig w 5/0 offset hook, or a VMC Rugby head, or cut 2.5 inches off the body, and use it as a jig trailer.

- 12" Culprit originals (but I hate their packaging) - T-rig w 5/0 offset hook

- 10.5" Xcite Maximus worm - T-rig w 5/0 offset hook, or 3/8oz Omega football shakyhead

- 10" Uptons UC worm - same

 

10" power worm and zoom on monster are king. The power bait with that stinky **** on it makes a huge difference on a big soft plastic.

Ole Monster and Culprit for 10 in. threaded on a 3/0 straight shank worm hook. I thread it about 3in. down from the head, exit on an angle and skin hook it. Weight depends on the depth I'm fishing and wind conditions. I started adding a swivel a short distance up the line as it will roll on you if you attempt to work it fast.

There are a few that a I throw. I like the 7in senkos texas rigged. Zoom O'l monster rigged just like turtle showed with a keel weighted hook and the yamamoto cut tail nail weighted.

PowerTeam Lures 10" Ribbon Hinge Worm texas rigged with a 3/16 tungsten worm weight and a 7/0 superline hook paired with 65lb braid.  The tail action on the lure is so phenomenal that it literally requires no retrieve at all.  It is neutrally buoyant, so when it hits bottom, it will coil up and uncoil on it's own.  A slow drag every 30 seconds or so it all you need.  I'll toss it into the thick of a lily pad field or submerged timber and have a blast!

Berkley Havoc Federale Worm or Strike King Rage Tail Anaconda,

T-rig or swing head.

 

As much as I love worms , caught a  megaillion fish with them , I rarely used big worms. The ones I used the most were made by Fliptail . Big old lime green ones .
