1- Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm in both sizes for topwater buzz bait presentation, cover water, and great for pitching, subsurface....texas, c-rig etc....

 

Gambler Burner worm is a bigger profile but also really good for bigger bites and more commotion as its a thick 7" senko with the cut curl tail.

 

2-

6" & 7.5" Culprit Ribbon Tails, and for pitching and fishing grass so the tails don't hang up as much, I like the Culprit Fat Max which is a thicker profile and something about culprit colors seems to make them shine especially in stained water....

 

I would then say for sure my next option is a zoom Trick Worm, 6" and 4" for finesse, and in Summer, if throwing a big worm.....I like any Junebug or Green Pumpkin Red 10-12" Ribbon tail. Rage Anaconda, Power worms, BPS curly tails in 12" black blue tail is a killer worm.....

I am a great lover of worms and even after "paring down" I think I still have like a dozen different ones in rotation.  Perennial favorites are the Producto Tournament Worm (weighted t-rig and shakey), Zoom Trickworm (weightless t-rig, shakey, wacky, neko), and Culprit 10" ribbon-tails (heavier t-rig and shakey).  

 

This season I am focusing on a few newer to me worms:

 

1) GYCB Senko.  I know.  I never really got into them before and I decided to see what the fuss is about.  Oddly enough I am having the most luck with them t-rigged with a 1/16 bullet weight and fishing them with a pop-n-glide retrieve.  

 

2)Zoom Swamp Crawlers.  Using them as a general finesse worm and loving them so far.  super versatile, durable, and really cheap. 

 

3)Don Invino Fat Boy Worm.  Going to try the classic glass and brass once I clean up my tackle pile and find my brass worm weights.  I have used them a little so far on a dropshot and have had some good luck with them.  I use a lot of 6" Robos on the DS right now and the Fat Boys might be a strong contender to replace them.
