For those that continue to throw soft plastic worms right on through Fall (and Winter for that matter) what style , size , colors ,rigging ,  etc. do you find works the best for Fall bass in your area ?

I'll throw the Shakey Head year round if the fish want slow. A Buckeye Spot Remover Pro 1/8 with a Zoom Junebug & Black Trickworm or their Shakey Head worm on 10 lb braid to 10 lb FC leader.

 Same stuff I use in the spring and summer .  Been using t-rigged Yum Dingers this fall .

Yes sir! 

 

I fish ponds, bayous, rivers, marshes, & reservoirs. Last couple of years its been Zoom's Speed Craw & Ultra Vibe Speed Worm. 

I always have a Curley tail or senko style, tied on and laying on deck all year round here. Usually 7.5” BPS, Zoom, or Culprit. 
 Color June Bug, Bubble gum, or various color of green… watermelon, green pumpkin, different flake colors… etc. 

Texas rigged

And don’t forget the Zoom 4 inch Lizards

Yep

I fish shallow tannic/clear natural lakes. 
It’s always U V Speed Worms, Fat Max ribbon tails, Rage Cut R’s, 6” stick baits. 
Everywhere I go, whenever I go.

Plastic worms are my favourite bait, and I throw them all through the fall.

4 inch yum dinger on a split shot/mojo rig. Black and blue in dirty water or watermelon pearl in clear water.
 

I need to get into shaky  head though 

Yessir, all year round in lots of variations. For stickbaits: senkos, Biospawn Exo Sticks, and Savage Gear Armor Tube worms are my mainstays. Fish them t-rigged, weightless, and wacky. 
 

Ribbontail worms het used more in the fall, throw a variety from Biospawn, Jackall, and SG mostly. Always t-rigged. 

Thanks for the replies - I'm thinking a ribbon tail worm will be in play until the water temps drop below say 65 degrees - then a straight tail trick worm with a bit less action may on a drag on a  shaky head .

When the drops below 50 degrees I use hand pours because of more life like movements fished slower and deeper.

I rarely throw worms once the water temperature drops below 55. I will, however, add the last two inches or so of a floating worm to a hair jig.  I’ve been experimenting with the RageTail Ned Rig the last couple of outings, but the Ned has been Dead ?as I haven’t caught anything on one. 

 

 

Around here the worm bite is not very aggressive, but fairly constant.  I'll feel one good tap and then nothing.  Over the years I've learned when I feel a bite like that to just stop and dead stick the worm.  Usually in 5 to 10 seconds the bass will come back and pick up the worm and start swimming off with it.  If not I bring the bait back in and make another cast.
