I recently tried a lure I was so impressed with I wanted to share with everyone here. I recently tried the "Berkley havoc Flat Dawg". It is very similar to other senko style worms but it has a flattened cross section. Because of this the action it has on the fall is unbelieveable. It not only shimmies but wobbles back and forth as it falls. The action is much better than I have seen on any other stick bait and it has already produced a few good fish for me. They are not very durable but they only cost $3.00 for a pack. You can order them on Walmart and have them ship to your store for free. 

 

I recommend rigging them on a 4/0 Lunker City Texposer hook. If you have never tried these hooks they are phenomenal as well. Easier to rig than other hooks and have the perfect gap for fishing worms. 

I really like the Flat Dawg, but like you pointed out they're not durable at all. I prefer to wacky rig them.
