Featured Replies

Culprit is my usual choice (in 7.5" and 10") - they have the same action as a Zoom but seem to be more durable. Sometimes, Plan B is the Yum (7.5") - because you can often get them marked down at Lurenet.com.

Zoom U tails and Culpirt 7.5" are my staples. Zoom has a smaller profile, and they have slightly different color selections, but I haven't noticed that fish have a distinct preference for one over the other at any time.

I guess I've never really had a favorite. I've used Culprit, Zoom, Berkley and others. They all catch bass. The last couple of seasons, I've been using these: http://www.barlowsta...ntail--P67.aspx

They've worked very well, and the price is definitely right.

I use Berkley Power worms but I'm going to try others this season just to see if there's anything better. I haven't ever tried anything else.

Culprit and Deep Creek. If you've never tried any deep creek lures I would pick up a pack if you ever see them.

I've tried others, but Berkley Powerworms and Zoom U-Tails are the ones that I normally find myself going back to. Guess it's a confidence thing.

I fish a Zoom Mag II, it's a smaller 9.5" "big worm" when I want a smaller profile

I fish a 10" Gambler which is when I want a bigger profile. Its a bit more slender than the Power Worm but longer.

I have some Power Worms always somewhere in my worm bag, they always work

Culprit 7.5 inch and Zoom SS U-Tale

Powerbait 7" and 10" is my favorite (Sour grape, shhhhhh!)

Culprit. Love some of the colors they've come out with.

I started using the 7.5" Original Worm from Bitter's Bait and Tackle about 3 years ago and have been very pleased. It's a duplicate of the Culprit worm but it the plastic is more durable and holds up better. And at $2.50/pack, the price can't be beat - even with the shipping.
