There are plastic baits, and then there are Zoom baits. The difference is undeniable. Want proof? Just take a peek into your favorite tournament angler's tackle box, and start counting the Zoom bags. For those who lay it on the line every time out, there can be no other choice. Every Zoom soft plastic bait is wholly realistic, super-soft to the touch (for the extra action needed to pull that reluctant money fish) and salt-impregnated to hold even the most tentative bite.
If you're looking for a big worm with the right action to entice the biggest bass, then look no further than Zoom's Old Monster Worms. The Old Monster's long, ribbon tail flutters, pulsates and flat out attracts the strike.

this bait is versitile, weightless, with a tungsen bullet weight to fish deep, a jig head or fish with tail cut off & used like a stick bait. it's just a really easy to use bait.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Velcrocivic Great worm,
If you look into my tackle bag you'd see nothing but Zoom bags. I recently bought some Senkos because of all the praise it has. I was fishing on Milford Lake, clear water bass were chasing shad everywhere. I got 2 bites with the Senko but wasn't able to hook up with fish. I slapped this on and threw it out and got a bite on my first cast. People are usually throwing out smaller baits on this lake but when the fish are active you just have to throw this out and let it hit the bottom. Most of the fish I caught hit the bait with out me even working it at all. A lot of people also think that this bait is too big for most of the fish but I've caught bass on these that were about the same length. As for colors to use, I use browns and greens for clear lakes and for dirtier water I use the brighter colors. I've also had good luck with red in low visibility water. I rig this weightless as this bait is heavy enough to be thrown far without a sinker. If the fish aren't as active I'll throw a 1/4 oz sinker so I can twitch the bait and let it stay in one place for longer.

I might get a pack of these. Should I and what color for georgiaAnswers
A:
well i think that they would be good when worked on the top of the water like a snakeA:
CRAZY GOOD!A:
They are excellent! Darker the water, darker the bait for the most part.A:
I take it, you will be fishing Lake Lanier. I've had good luck with these colors : watermelon seed, watermelon magic, green pumpkin, and black with red flake. If you want to add a little extra, try dipping the tails in chartruese/ garlic spike it.A:
Yes, I would highly recommend them. I like tequilla (color) I have had great success with this one.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Red Shad always worked in north florida for me give it a tryA:
I think you should buy at least one pack. I have fished worms several times in different conditions during fishing trips. Two great colors to choose between in Georgia are Red Shad and Watermelon Red. Both are great colors and will catch fish. The size of the worm will most likely catch larger fish, not too many small ones.A:
I use this bait more than any in My box . Water clarity has a lot to do with the color . I use watermelon seed in clear water . In off color water, I use green pumpkin . I also use garlic dip when the bite is slow . CAROLINA RIG .Details:
What size of hook should I use for these?Answers
A:
5/0 or a screw on wieghted swim bait hook maybe a 6/0 or 7/0A:
4/0A:
I prefer a 5/0 hook with 1/4 oz weight on a texas rigA:
Generally I use a 5/0 EWG hook and skin hook the barb on the top side. This is similar to how you would rig a swin bait such as a fluke.A:
size 4 works the best(owner).but i also use size 3 .
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
i use a 5/0 hook with these. Also the glasss rattling beads about mid way up. bass think there yummyA:
With this larger worm I usually use a size 5/0 or 6/0 off shank worm hook for better hook set and strength.A:
5/0 xps offset hook in black nickle.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
5/0 at least. these worms are thick, so a stout rod and strong line is the way to go.Details:
The fish at my lake are very predatorial, and love to eat things that eat their eggs and thier fry.Answers
A:
if you fish it on the top of the water then it might look like one there use to be a like floating snake head that you would rig like a normal bullet weight. i would use the colors black or tequila sunrise the ones with a oranges bellyA:
Yes, the action of this worm closely resembles a small snake swimming in the water. The tail action is awesome.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
no just looks like a giant worm. Guess if you free weight it and go top water but never tried it.A:
I don't belive so, I think they strike out of reaction to the vibration the tail puts out. I tend to bottom fish a little deeper water with it (10-30+ft) No snakes there. I feel the fish feels it is a bigger meal, dosen't have to work hard to fill up. If we only new what fish thought, we would all be pros.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Yes, I like to put the worm on the back of a booyah boogee bait and with the head of the boogee bait it really looks like a snake and causes a disturbance in the water tooAnswers
A:
well i would look for that color on the ZOOM webpageA:
Get with Zoom Bait Co. They do special runs sometimes.

A:
Bass pro during spring time saleA:
They make a water melon red flake that works well.Answers
A:
They are better than ones you mentioned.However, Mann's jelly worms are better.
A:
They work great but i do like a black 10" Berkely Power Worm For night fishing.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I think they do. But have alot of confidence in this bait during hot summer days
A:
It's a confidence thing. The Berkley has a fatter body, The culprit has less salt (will float more) Dont get caught up in brands, find a color, keep it wet and the fish will come. Most people keep the bait out of the water to long. The fish live in the water
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I definately think so; i prefer the action of this bait to the others you mentioned. The tail really puts out a lot of action both during the retrieve and the fall. I will fish this lure all year long because of its versatility. If I did have to choose a second place finisher, it would be the Culprit. They to have a good deal of action built in, but the Zoom baits seem to hold up better.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
in my opinion, zoom outfishes all other soft plastics. i've been using them for years with great success. and to my surprise, when i went to the bps fishing classic sale, chris daves said during his seminar that zoom baits account for 7 out of 10 sales in the soft plastics market. now that's amazing!Answers
