what type worm do you get the most use out of (fore example - 5 inch senko, ole monster, Berkley 7 inch worm, trick worm, etc) ...one that you are able to use in more conditions than others...for example, you can use it in different types of water, different times of year, different structure, etc

4" Bass Pro Stik-O

9" Super T Mac worms by Netbait.  they're dynamite in the warmer months and can be cut down to size for a smaller presentation too...

Straight Tail.

Trick worm. 

All year,  almost all presentations. 

It used to be Mann´s 6-8" Jelly Worm the worm I fished probably 70% of the time, but as Mann´s became harder for me to get here in Mexico I ended up changing it for Zoom´s Trickworm, so for me the most useful worm type is a straight tail 6-8" inch worm ( the Trickworm is 6.5" ), after that the classic 7.5" Culprit ribbontail is my second choice.

I second this. Weightless is best for me. Carolina, splitshot, wacky, weighted T rig. It does it all. If you start off presenting it a certain way (I usually start weightless like a jerkbait when it's warm) and they don't want it you just need to slow down and adjust with the same bait. If they won't chase, I'll just let it sink and drag it ever so slowly. That will usually get some interest, usually on the fall. Sometimes wacky will get them more into it. And it's just an inherently good bait for Carolina rigs.

5 inch Senko. .. Black/Blue being my favorite color..

Rage Cut R. Think of it as a Senko with a rudder. 

Rig it one way and the rudder with keep the tail up as you swim it, turn it around and the tail will point down. Add to that the tails action...Well it's become my #1 choice for all conditions in shallow or mid depth water.

Rubber Worms......I probably fish a ribbon tail worm the most and like the 6" size since most guys use 7.5" and I also like a 12" Ribbon since most people use a 10". I actually like to use the old school twister tails or J tails as we call them, and I will experiment depending on the activity level of the fish.

.I use straight tails and stick baits on most trips as well, and the Rage cut'r as mentioned above never seems to be the wrong bait. It seems to always send out good vibes like the Swim Senko. I tried one last year for first time and it is a worm or bait that I could pick as my "one lure" as long as I have some weights and hooks to modify it, but that worm will catch fish as a swimbait, wakebait, finesse worm, but I love pitching it and slow rolling it back....Cut Tail worms were created I believe when the fish didn't want a ribbon tail so they clipped off most of the ribbon and you had the cut Tail worm. Rage stepped it up with a better tail for action. I remember as a kid watching guys bite tails off of culprits in colder weather leaving just a small flange, I still do it at times. ...I am sure someone could explain if that is correct?

5" senko....all you need

The plain old straight tail worm, it works in warm water and cold water, when the fish are active and inactive. I can Texas rig it, C-Rig it, fish it on a drop shot, shaky head or on a jig head with exposed hook, it can be used in every way.

Straight tail 6 inch Jelly worm .

 

I would say the trick worm. 

Zoom magnum finesse worm, Houdini and also black.

 

7" ribbon tail with some jjs magic on the tail. Texas rigged and thrown under a dock.

5" Senko by a wide margin followed by various brands of 5" imitators of Senkos

While the original Creme Wiggle worm was a straight tail worm it was far from straight!

Personally I like all of them

Mann´s 6" Jelly Worm in Grape Never let me down go to worm to this day.

5" and 7" Senko 

I have better luck with straight tails also.
