^ I do! lol 

 

I went there last Tues with a friend and it was dry.... a bunch of nibbles but nothing solid. 

 

I love the Yama's, had great success using them, any suggestions on other soft worms? I'm currently trying the Strike King KVD and its been pretty good; very impressed with the durability.

They are great! I just lately have had some amazing luck with the zoom baits. They have a worm/bush hog/zhog/swim bait shad. Amazing stuff right now

Is this bait a crossover between all of those different types or just a list of all of Zoom's different style of baits.

The bush hog is a creature bait, they have a zoom senko, the zoom tube, and their swim bait shad. All different baits made by zoom.

nothing wrong with them at all! I buy the big pack of 100 -all different colours for I think under $20. And they come with a clear plastic case. I find the Yamamotos to be to pricey and I think they tear too easily

^ don't get me wrong I love the yama senkos, but I agree with you they tear to easy.

 

Started using the strike king KVD worms and they've lasted me twice as long compared to the senkos. Just experimenting with different brands at the moment.

I love using senko's but recently the Gambler worms i've been using are just as good...and cost almost half the price. But all in all i'd say the mizmo tubes will outfish any plastics...

Ahaha, they are great! There are some really nice colors that most companies do not have of the senkos.

You can use anything as a trailer! I like a white or grey senko/senko style worm to use as a trailer for a grey swimjig replicating a shad.

FishHawk, try the ZOOM Fluke Stick. They are great stuff! Been better than the other style senkos I have been using. Honestly, I love ZOOM baits because they have the best and most true colors! The quality of their plastics cannot be beat. I have used the Fluke Stick as a texas senko, also a wacky senko and cut off the V tail to make it a traditional senko. Also recommend their trailers(Super Salted Chunks). They have been the best action on my Strike King flipping jigs so far.

What a waste of a senko! ahha. I think the traditional senko style is the best. He basically just created a tube style worm creature bait ahha.

Its probably intentional that they tear that easily - more realistic feel for the fish. The cheap ones are made that way not because they're more durable but because its a cheaper process/material. With that said bass aren't really picky but I don't like using cheap tackle when i'm investing my entire day on the water.
