what is your drop-shot worm of choice?

The classic roboworms are good too, but I've been using these lately. I have maybe 6 different colors but Houdini has been the most productive for me in the year and a half I've used them.

this worm is so effective my friend and I call it the "sensei worm".  he used to call me Sensei when I was showing him how to catch bass.  he is probably better at it than I am now.!! (the student has become the master)  but the worm I gave him for his first ever bass was the "sensei worm".  we were crushing it once and a bunch of guys asked us what we were using.  to this day, I've often wondered if they went to TW and searched Sensei worm.  hahha. :D

For those that use the flat worm, also check out the 5" hit worm for a bigger profile.  In a lake infested with white perch, they aren't inclined to hit it as much as they do a flat worm.

Hit worms are awesome but I dont like them on a DS.  They're so heavy they just want to sink as soon as you have any slack in the line at all.  It doesnt seem to matter to the fish as much because they chew em.

One of the most productive DS baits I use are the Robo alive shads.  They absolutley whack em.  I guess that's not really a worm though.

Bubbling shaker would be my favorite worm.  I dont use them all the time because they've really gotten pricey over the last few years.

A buddy of mine swears by a Z drop on a SH.  Hes done well in a few tourneys on them.

Zoom finesse worm, or a 3" BPS Stiko.  Same baits I use on a split shot rig.

I like to take a torn up worm from the floor of the boat , bite it in half and use it . LOL  I'm not that big into the dropshot but working on it .

4” chompers green/watermelon 

in order:

 

Zoom Meathead

Smallie Smasher

roboworm

 

 

On our threadfin shad reservoirs I really like a zoom TINY fluke in Smokin Shad. Everywhere else I will usually go to a 4.5 or 6" roboworm in Aaron's magic or a 4" senko in green weenie.

Also.... certain times a 5" zoom lizard will get hammered too.

7 inch Senko, Wacky rigged, June bug if I can find them, Black blue flake if I run out of June bug.  Fishing this way may be classified as sacrilegious to many, but you northern fineness fisherman can't sick the bass police on me, because they have no jurisdiction south of the boarder. what happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico. 


I ordered some 7” senkos in baby bass. When I got them I was surprised how fat they are. Much bigger than I expected. So I haven’t used them like I originally planned. 
So I will try this.

Strike King 3x elaztech 4 inch worm in watermelon/red. Crazy durable, I've fished entire months with one worm. Just started using the z-drop myself, impressed so far, seems a little more durable than average and I like the almost neutral buoyancy, should make a good compliment to the high floating elaztech.
