GYCB, ZOOM, NetBait, Reaction Innovations, Gambler...

Heck, I seldom meet a plastic I do not really like.

They all work.

I chose GYCB but Berkley and YUM work just as great for me too.

Zoom, Culprit, Berkley, Gene Larew, and Lake Fork Tackle.

Gycb makes great designs, the senko, hula grub, and fat ika, are brilliant.

But the fact is that the knockoffs have improved to the point where paying the price for a bag of senko doesn't make sense. The good knockoffs are just as good and so much cheaper.

My thoughts exactly!

I like at least one product from each of those companies- right now my faves are R.I. smallie beaver and Roboworms 4.5" straight tail- excellent baits, my go to baits... One not mentioned is netbait they have good stuff also- I own a lot of plastic baits as I am sure the rest of you guys do- I don't think I can walk out of a sporting goods store without a couple bags of baits...

#1 GYCB

#2 Zoom

#3 Roboworm

I voted for Zoom.  Hands down my favorite.  Second place would be berkley, they have good worms.  I hate GYBC, way to overpriced!  $6 for $.80 worth of plastic?

Zoom and GYCB are neck and neck for me.

I voted zoom. GYCB is definitely second. I will have Roboworms soon, the bait monkey says so.  

GYCB and Zoom, I've heard GYCB is the best tasting one out there  

It is too hard for me to try to pick just one.  I can narrow it down to 2.  Culprit and Zoom.  I love to fish Culprit 10" and 12" worms.  I also love to fish Zoom lizards, ol' monsters, ultravibe speed craws, and baby brush hogs.

I have to go with Zoom for their sheer number of various lures:

Horny Toad, Trick Worm, Super Fluke, Critter Craw, Brush Hog, Etc!

As for Yamamoto...well if Gary's livelihood depended on me,

he'd be walking around with his pockets turned inside-out ;D

I use Berkley alot but also use Yum and a few others.  I think it is Berkley because that is what I started using and caught some of my first fish on.  Get loyal to something and it is hard to get away from it.LOL :

is zoom baits the oldest company out of the list?

Is zoom baits the oldest company out of the list?

I don't know their *** dates, but I would guess that Zoom, Yum, Yamamoto, Gambler and Wave Worm are relative newcomers

when compared to Crème, Manns, Culprit, Gene Larew, Mister Twister, Lunker City, Charlie Brewer, Zipper, Berkley & Strike King.

When it comes to soft plastics I don 't have a "favorite".

ZOOM,Berkely,and Strike King.

zoom is just cost effective, and works. ;D

In this order: Zoom, NetBait, V&M, Culprit.

V&M would top the list because they float so well and are irresistible on a Shaky head but they tear up really easily.  

I can't pick just one. Some companies great tubes but bad worms. Others make awesome senko's and bad trailers. Some baits are actually too soft. GYBC are great lures, I love the fat Ika, But if a bluegill or perch even sniffs at them they are ripped up. When wacky rigging GYBC senko you need to use a o-ring or split ring or the senko will rip right off on a hard cast or when bit by a small fish.

Take Yums buzz frogs for example, for some reason they almost always roll over on me, But Zoom horny toads never roll.

So I think a variety of bait companies is the only way to go.

It is a preference thing. Some of the best soft plastics I have bought lately came from EBay. Like from Earthworm77.

Those are my thoughts.

I got to go with berkley for amount of fish caught, GYCB close second as a new favorite, and zoom third for their large selection.

GYCB and Zoom are the only plastics I own.

GYCB senkos, ikas, and creature baits..

Zoom Trailers, trick worms, finesse worms, lizards, and flukes.

the one and only GYCB

What else can you say. When he is right he is right. I totally agree...

I like Strike King,Zoom,GYCB,and FLW.I voted Strike King because I tend to use their flippin' tubes and 3X products more than the others.These are all fine baits IMO.
