Rated 5 out of 5 by jtw650h A must have bait
I have used the Zoom trick worm on every lake
that I've fished, from pre-spawn to late summer..
when I use this, my confidence is increased which
is one of the best ways to catch bass, or any fish
for that matter, use a bait of confidence, and I choose Zoom trick worms

I'm still a big Yama-Senko fan, but when the fish want something different this is a good worm to throw.
Here's a good tip when the bite is slow: make up a split-shot rig. Take a Trick worm and cut off the front just in front of the egg sac, put this rear 4" section on the hook and twitch it slowly. Usually they can't stand this thin tail jumping around. Try it.

These really excite the Bass. I have tried all kinds and brands but Zoom Watermelon Seed work the best for me.

Okay, I am going to make this sound really complicated, but it isnt. For the best results, buy some small nails, and when you look at the worm, there is a thick side and a thin side. What you want to do is drive the nail through the thick side. Then get a 1/0 gamagatsu offset shank worm hook and wacky rig it. The nail will give the worm a better falling action and make the bass go nuts!

Take your choice: Texas, wacky, drop-shot, they all work well. Just Google the type rig you are interested in and you will get several how to articles.A:
Try a Carolina rigA:
My friend and I get the best results with a wacky rig and jigging it in front of shoreline weeds. The Trick Worm drops very slow so a little waiting time before moving it seems to work best. We get a lot of late afternoon and early evening strikes from bass on a clear lake.A:
2/0 or 3/0 EWG hook Texas rigged with a small 1/16 or 1/8 bullet weight. Take your time and let it fall, then work it slowly with short hops and pauses. You can peg the weight about 8" in front of the worm or leave it unpegged, both work for me. This is probably the best finesse worm out there and they are really inexpensive when consider there are 20 per pack.A:
If I'm fishing REALLY shallow...or in a small pond (<5 acres), I'll TX rig it weightless on a 3/0 or 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG. The 3/0 allows for more tail wiggle when you jerk or twich the worm, but you might get a few short strikes.I never hit the water without one rod setup with a weighted TX rig Trick Worm. I use a 3/16 tungsten sinker, one clear glass bead, and a 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG. My favorite colors are Motor Oil Chartreuse, Watermelon Red Chartreuse, and Red Bug. I hardly ever fish a "regular" U tail or C tail worm anymore....just TX rigged trick worms. Last night I caught 12 nice bass in less than two hrs. throwing the Motoroil Chartreuse in a gin clear spring fed lake with a very green lake bottom.
A:
For water more than a few feet deep, I will texas-rig the worm using a weighted hook (I like the Big Bite Bait Finesse Worm Jig Head 1/8). For very shallow water or when casting directly into weeds or falling trees, I will texas-rig with a size 2/0 offset worm hook without a weight.A:
Have used them rigged both straight and wacky style. By straight rigging with the hook buried into the worm, it can be worked through the heaviest of structure ( lay downs, grass, pads). Wacky style will get hung up rather easily in brush but works really well on drop-offs and on bedding fishA:
Wacky rig or on a shaky head.A:
I spit shot them and caught a lot of bass on them. Too small to hook other wise!Details:
I'm 13 and am in the Florida state tournament. Which is in Okichobee and i realy want to place in it. Your advice is apreciated.
Answers
A:
I dont know about okichobee, but green pumpkin, watermelon red, and black/red speckle work in a variety of places for me.

A:
I have found the Junebug color the best for that lake. Dark watermelon w/flakes would be second.A:
I have never fished that body of water, but the I've had success with the "redbug" color in darker and clear freshwater.A:
I do not want to lead you wrong, but for my area in Vermont, I catch numerous Bass on The 7" Zoom Finesse or Trick Worm in green Watermelon Seed. Sometimes I use Black. I do not use any kind of weight. Cast to your favorite spots and let it fall naturally and then hang on. Good Luck!A:
Green is always good in that lake.A:
June Bug and Black Worms are the best for Okichobee an all of the everglades.Answers
A:
Yes,Ive used a so to speak general colorfor every lake, green pumpkin trick worm
shakey head, texas rigged and carolina
rigged, I use shakey head when the bass
are not very aggressive or just being stubborn.. Once you get bit,you can fine tune the bait of color in that area.. good luck
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes, it is - but they have a shakey head worm that I like better.A:
These work great for shaky head in Lake Murray, SC. I use 'em in cover and under docks.A:
well i havent used it on a shakey head but i would guess that it would be good.A:
This worm is a good choice along with the Net Bait Brand. The Net Bait Brand is scented slightly and the zoom brand is not. Both have good action for shakey head use.
A:
Due to it's slow sink rate and the quivering action imparted by the worm, it is a good worm for shakey head styles of fishing.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
It's perfect for a shakey head jig. The tail will stand straight up on the bottom and flutter with the current or any slight movement of your rod.. The screw in lure keeper will have you going through more worms...but you'll have a full live-well. Good luck!Answers

A:
Since this is a thin worm, I use Gamakatsu 2/0 EWG worm hooks. For the fatter Senko, I use 3/0.A:
Definitely Gamakatsu 3/0A:
We get our vest results with a 2/0 or 3/0 worm hookA:
I like a 3/0 or 4/0 Gamakatsu EWG. When I'm throwing the worm under docks or in rough conditions that might make the worm slip off of the hook, I'll use a 4/0 Gamakatsu skip gap hook.A:
Personally I use a Mustad #2 (straight shank) worm hook. I like to work this type of worm throughout all kinds of structure and the sleek profile of this hook works well. The hook is not too small as some may think.A:
For Trick Worms,I use,Eagle Claw 4/O Weedless Hooks,and A 3/O weedless hook for the finese worm.A:
Gamakatsu or Owner are the best In my Opinion.In Florida, The lakes are very shallow and the Bass are very Big. So I rig most of my plastics weightless and for trick worms, I Normally use size 3/0 (It's a skinny Worm).
on a thicker Worm I go to 4/0 or 5/0 but that's because we have Large mouth bass that are 8lb +
I also use straight shank Hooks size 2/0 either Owner or Gamagatsu

A:
well i use a size 4/0 Trokar extra wide gap hook. but i use to use a 3/0. i would also guess up to a maybe 6/0 hookA:
Mister twister keeper hooks. Size 3/0 either rigged wacky style or use 18 inch 20# test as a leader. tie this to a #3 barrel swivel to reduce line twist. Use this around submerged timer, grass in 3 to 5 feet of water. The bard that dangles down from the eye of the hook is placed in the head of the worm and place the egg sack of the worm through the hooks point. this will allow the worm to swim straight.

A:
Just use Gamatsku worm hooks in a 3/0 or 4/0 size.A:
I prefer Gamakatsu 3/0 or 4/0 offset shank worm hooks.Q:

do the "scent-impregnated" soft plastics actually work better than the ordinary soft plastics?
Answers
A:
I've never really noticed a difference.A:
I don't know if scent causes more strikes but I Think it makes the fish hold on longer when it does strike.A:
yeah man the bass wont bite it unless it looks and smells just like the real thing!A:
I would not say they work better. However, they do a good job of masking human smell. A scented lure with no action will not work better than a lure with no scent and plenty of action. However, if you had two of the same lure, one scented and one not, I believe you catch ratio would better with the scented one simply because there will be less noticeable human smell .A:
yesA:
I personally think " scent impregnated" soft plastics do work better than ordinary plastics. Another big plus for plastics with scent. They do seem to come through heavy grass and moss because of the oil on them.A:
These Trick Worms have a heavy "salt" impregnation. I often outfish others in my boat that are using straight plastisol (plastic) baits without the salt. I believe the fish "hold" the bait longer after pick-up with a salt impregnated bait.A:
At times the salt enhanced work a lot better than the regular ones. I keep both kinds in my tackle box.I'll start with the regular worm,and if they don't produce well,I go to the salt enhanced worm. You should keep both trick,and finesse worms in your tackle box. There are times that Bass will go for A smaller worm.
Good luck with your fishing.
A:
Definitely YES. I fish many tournaments and have found that scented baits out catch non-scented baits all but on a rare occasion.A:
In some cases yes. But I guess it all depends on the time of year
