I was at scheels today. They had a great selection of 6” roboworms. I’ve heard of them in the past and they looked like great worms that would have a great action just thought I’d ask before I try any and thought it might kick off some good conversation. 

Roboworms got their reputation as the standard for drop-shot. Imo

That's what I use them for and do well with Aaron's magic.

They have great colors as well.

I see the colors are awesome looking. Definitely catch the fisherman’s eye. Wonder how well they work for Neko rig?

All of my 6" straight worms are either Creme Scoundrels or Zoom Trickworms. 

I use Robo worms on a shakey head, works great!!! Morning Dawn and Aaron's Magic are my top 2 colors.

Just don’t look at them too hard or they fall apart. They catch fish for sure though. 

I fish the 6in fat almost exclusively on the bubba shot rig, amazing action even when rigged weedless but very fragile like the senko, you'll get 1-2 fish on each one, get some mend-it.

Haha I’m so cheap I use mend it on all my soft plastics lol

Roboworms have been one of the hottest baits for me after trying them this year. I started dropshotting with them, but I quickly grew fond of them on a shaky head, too.

Thanks Glenn!!!

The 4.5 inch is my #1 producer for a Drop-shot.. Margarita Mutilator, Morning Dawn, Aaron’s Magic, and Bold Bluegill are my favorites..

The 4 1/2 and 6 inch work like magic for me on a dropshot, both the neon green and the baby bass colors. Although I would echo what others have said, they are delicate as heck. 

Are they still hand poured?

Define hand poured as it applies here.

 

Back in the 90's I worked just around the corner from their manufacturing facility. I used to be allowed to go there and purchase from them directly. They took me back and let me see their hand pouring machine. Their worms are not injection molded, but it is very much automated, hence the consistency between batches.

I am using the Roboworm/Missile Baits collaboration (Dream Worm).

 

Can confirm they work on Neko.

Aren’t roboworms poured by a machine or “robot”?

Yes

It's definitely a machine, but not typical injection molds. More like a machine that pours them into one sided, open molds like old school small batch manufacturers used to do the pouring by hand, one worm at a time. That's why they have a flat side to them where the plastisol self-leveled.

 

I have to imagine that's where the "robo" comes from.

The original Robotic “hand pour” machine was intended to sell for hand pours in SoCal area but Greg Stumph soon learned the market for the Roboworms over whelmed the production of the machines and started his worm business instead. Roboworms are extremely consistent in texture and colors and soon took over the hand pour worm business.
