do the "scent-impregnated" soft plastics actually work better than the ordinary soft plastics?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
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:
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

A:
Well, I feel it is personal preference. I think that most of the time fish react to motion in the water and sounds over scent. The scent actually helps the fish hang on longer. So, the short answer would be NO, it doesn't matter. Your presentation matters more.Details:
I plan on using it with regularity and hoping it will last a couple seasons, at least.Thanks
Answers
A:
The standard lifespan of a Zoom Trick Worm depends upon the agressiveness of the bite of the bass. I have had some bites that ended up ripping the lure from the hook. Other bites were more subtle and with a sweeping hook set, I was able to use the worm on 2-3 fish. It is like any other soft plastic bait. If you think it will last a couple of seasons, you must not think it will catch any fish. That won't happen. The Zoom Trick Worm is one of the best soft plastic baits on the market. I have caught so many bass on these worms, that I have exclusively used it when worm fishing this year. Good luck and don't worry about how many worms you have to use. I'll keep buying the worms if they keep catching the fish.A:
These baits come in a zip-lip bag that will keep them fresh and ready for use for a long time. I have used these baits that were kept in the original bag after several years with no loss in quality.Good luck fishin'

A:
I've noticed that Bass go threw A color and shape change about every seven years .A:
this bait is plastic so you will ahve to but a few bags if you want to have it last a few seasons but the ones with glitter in them last much shorter than the ones without
Top 25 Contributor
A:
Maximum - one worm would last 3 good bites. Not too bad, about average for a softbait.A:
If there biting , a bag might last 3 or 4 hrs.A:
Get yourself some worm oil ( approx 4 bucks for a couple ounce bottle )- check with the people who sell the materials and tools used to make your own worms in the "garage" - Worm oil is used by most of the major mfg's to keep the worms slick in package. Before storing the packages , put about 16-20 drops along the length of the worms , then "massage" the worms in the package , zip pkg most of the way closed , squeeze the air out and then close - storing this way will make sure they are still soft and like new when you need them . Obviously , store them in cool , dry , dark space -Also - some oils are available with different scents - if that is something you would want to try...
A:
I'VE HAD AND USED SOME UP TO FOUR SEASONS. YOU CANT BEAT THEM, I FISH THEM FROM KINGSPORT,TN ALL THE WAY TO OCALA, FL.A:
one worm can last you 2 or 3 strikes, depending on where you're fishing it, if you're fishing in heavy cover, you may get one fish per worm. About 9 in a pack, so I suggest getting a couple packs in your favorite colors, I do 2 packs for each of my favorite colors, so I have 18 worms in each color. Trust me when I say this Zoom are worth every penny you spendA:
If you mean one worm, it will usually last through a couple fish. You can trim a worm back one inch at a time, if your hook rips through. If you mean the whole bag lasting in storage, these baits won't "go bad" for several years.

A:
Whoa no worm lasts a couple seasons. maybe if ur careful one worm might last 8, or 12 fish but i doubt it. one way to make them last longer is to rig them from both sides and them wacky rig them. get lake forks wacky system. it will make your worms last forever.Answers

no you shuld sell themA:
I have done this, however it was not on purpose... Left my worms out in the sun in a stow away for a while, and when i finally found them my white trick worms had a little blueish green to them, they actually looked very cool. and caught a few fish :)A:
I just use 2 colors june bug red, and green pumkin red. I'll have to try your technique,.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
good idea. if you really just want to bleed the worms use the solid colors (no sparkles etc.) also,you can by dye fro them on this website just search "worm dye"

A:
hey man i will just tell you thats a nice idea and i am sure you will have successA:
These work alright but the original colors work the best.A:
i have tried this but havent had much success for the colors i created. i have created a firetiger with the limetruce and merthiolate. I created a white and merthiolate and still no luck, but i havent tried to fish with them all day or anythingA:
Me too brother - Have caught a couple of 6 lber's this summer on white tricks kept in a pack of black grape tricks for about 12 hours - kind of a white / grape swirl ....have also dyed the limetruese and the bubble gum - tight lines....Answers

I'VE HAD GREAT SUCCESS FISHING FOR THE OLD BRONZEBACK WITH THIS PRODUCT, ESPECIALLY THE WATERMELON/RED.A:
This Is one of the most productive for Largemouth. I'm from Florida And gave several Bags to My friend that has Property On a Main lake system In Minnesota several years ago. He was given Trick and Finnesse Worms from Zoom. He caught both Species of Bass. He now stocks his tackle bagts with both.A:
i have caught smallmouth withthis lure, but i usually fish large mouth.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
It looks like a largemouth bait to me because its so long. I have never been smallmouth fishing but from seeing them on T.V it doesnt look like their mouths would be big enough to eat it. But coming from the other guys seems like they might work.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
i am sure you may have some successbut looking at it from my view this is largemouth bait
Top 100 Contributor
A:
I have killed them on largemouth, but I am sure they would be very effective on smallmouth.A:
yes i have caught many smallmouth on trickworms, i have even caught a crappie
Top 25 Contributor
A:
Short answer is yes, its slim profile makes it perfect for small mouth too,give it a try i hope you will like it.Answers
A:
use no weight, watermelon , black red glitter have been very goodA:
I fish them wieghtless or with a nail weight in the tail on 3/0 offset hooks, Usuallu I use Trilene XL 8, 0r 6 pound test, mono.The floro lines twist way too much and loop. I spend half my time playing with the lines instead of playing the fish, I usually just let them sink. Sometimes I will be thinking about something totally unrelated and forget it is in the water, and it just sits on a weed, or the bottom and gets sucked up.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
I always use a 3/0 or a 4/0 hook. I absolutely love the limetreuse color. I catch so many fish off of it.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I rig mine with a 2/0 or a 3/0, having the most success with those to keep this bait closer to the surface. Yellow and Black Swirl, along with Watermelon Red Flake have been the money colors for me. But, the White and Bubble Gum tend to work well too.A:
Use the Gamakatsu 2/0 hooks and use the basic colors and some of the neon or fluresent works grat also. Normally when I fish weightless is in shallows, lilly pads, or algae.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
I would think a 1/0 or 2/0 would do the trick. They do eventually sink. Try a 4/0. It will sink 6-8 inches. Then pop it with slack line to get it to go back and forth like working a Zara spook. It is an incredibly seductive presentation.A:
i usually fish them with a 1/0 or 2/0 circle hook, not a bad idea to get weedless, and twitching them just below the water. As of color usually bright to help with seeing the lure being bitten. White, Merthiolate, Chartruece Pearl, BubblegumA:
I have had luck with the solid black number 38 worms and have witnessed fish caught on the bubble gum number 39. I know the worms work well floating because i have seen them catch fish this way but, I like to fish them with a 5/0 gamakatsu wide gap, super line ( thick ) hooks. This will give the worm a slow sink rate and work well when you fish an action with a few twiches then a pause.Images for this Answer

A:
You start by using worms that are designed to float , there are 3 or 4 worms made for this . Use a light wire hook , I prefer fishing with the hook exposed if possible . Most of these worms are bright colors , yellow , orange , pink etc. It's an exciting way to fish .A:
I am not sure about how to make these float. But the color that I've had success with is that lime green 53 they have. I've never caught a fish on it. Everytime I get a fish on with it breaks my line . Thats how I know its a good color. Good luck fishing with it.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
If you want this worm to float you may try and add a pegged carolina float, the carolina float looks like a bullet weight, if you choose not to use the float you can use a light wire 4/0 hook and the sink rate is very slow, as far as color is goes that mainly depends on the water conditions you are fishing, in stained to clear water I don't think you can beat the watermelon colors, watermelonseed, watermelon candy or watermelon red, I don't fish the worm in muddy water and opt for a bait that make some type of noise, hope this info is helpful1 of 1
