Bass Worm?

I need to get some sinking worms. Don't need color advice. I just want to know if there are makes/models you all use? The ones I had didn't seem to sink all that fast. I'd like something I can texas/carolina/whacky rig.

I know nothing. I just want to know when the hookup is!

Peace, y'all

Wish I had a solid answer for you.  I know senkos sink, but not fast.  Roboworm makes a few that sink, but not all.  I believe Zoom also makes some that sink.  Also check Strike King and Berkley.

I do have a question though, why do you need sinking worms and why must they sink fast.  I haven't bought worms in such a long time that I guess that floating wasn't all that common or important back then, I dunno.

Why isn't color important.  Do you already have that figured out?  Do tell!

You could always wait until Saturday and bum some off people that are catching.   Wait until Sunday to mooch and you may get the California Howdy!

I was wondering the same thing. If your're texas or carolina rigging, isn''t the weight gonna keep it down? And doesnt the slow wiggly descent entice the Bass to a feeding frenzy? I would try those fat, salt impregnated worms, I think it's zoom or robo worm, I love me some robo worms.  GOOD LUCK

Come join me at Mel Cotton's tomorrow around 7:30.  My father-in-law has about $80 in store credit he's gifting his son and myself and we'll be gearing up.  Maybe we can learn a thing or two.

Eric - lots of options but I always carry Senkos (4", 5", 6") in a few basic colors for tex/car/wacky rigs, and Roboworms (4",6") in a few basic colors for drop-shotting.

Yup, that basically details my selection also.  Senkos are so stinking versatile, it's unbelievable. 

Tonight I might pick up a package of trick worms and ironically, floating worms, to use on shaky heads.  Other than that, maybe replenish some hooks and weights and call it good.

sorry yeah that was a bad question. I guess I am looking for a worm that will sink fairly quickly when rigged weedless w/o weight.  The ones I used at berry took FOREVER to sink and they were so light I had a hard time telling if they were on the bottom. Seems like senkos are the perfered flavor!

I first started fishing worms in wacky style from the shore and had some good results.  When I tried it from the yak, not so good.    Problem was that any movement from the yak would raise the worm.  Since i've been drop-shooting mostly now from the yak, that hasn't been a problem    They do make a weight that will help for wacky riggs, but if you want weightless, not sure how to help.

Al thanks...that may be the issue. hence the search for a "heavy" worm that I can rig weightless

Yep, Senkos (and look-a-likes) are the ticket.

Drag them off the edge of weed mats -- she'll be waiting for you.

Most hits on the fall. Still a few "jiggling" them on the bottom.

Caught one this weekend doing I-don't-know-what while trying to avoid PB wakes, but the little spot liked it.

And last year/this I discovered just dragging them behind the yak (on the bottom) while I was drifting (very slowly) and drinking coffee    ...  works like a charm!

Heh, yeah I got one @ Berry after I had dropped my rod in the rod holder to pickup my paddle.  Never happened with a worm before for me!

Man... I got to try this!  Sounds like my kind of fishing

Al, you have no idea ...

If I had to rely on skill "skunk" would be my middle name 

thank god rockfish are dumb as a post! I actually can fake that I know what I am doing

Jeez did you guys just start fishing? Dude, just get some of those nail weights that you insert into the worm/plastic. Go search Google for "nail weights" and you'll see what I'm talking about. Either that or get some weighted hooks (if you want the plastic to sink a certain way). I prefer the weighted hooks. Although...knowing you...you could easily make some nail weights from uhhh nails.
