    So many good choices. Yamamoto shad shape worm, 3" senko wacky, Berkeley flatworm, strike king half shell. All great choices.

    Another for Robo worms Morning Dawn. A member here years ago sent me some Xzone drop shot baits that were very good.

    For largemouth I throw a big bite baits shaking squirrel worm. I use Roboworm too but catch so many more on the big bite baits. I like bold gill for color. For smallmouth I mix it up, dream shot, twitch tail minnow, ZMan trick Shotz among others

    4" or 5" Zoom GP lizard. I've seen real live lizards basking in the sun, mid-depth, clear water, so DS seemed like an obvious way to approximate that. They looked to be GP, also. I use the 5" or sometimes 6" lizard for Shakyhead. Nice to use the same stuff for various presentations. The 4" and 5" are awesome for Splitshotting, too, if you want to try that. It's one of my favorite things to do if the water isn't too deep or the breeze too strong...shockingly snag resistant. Who knew?

    Years ago, I asked one of the senior members of our bass club (WBC), Norm Denton about worms. His reply was that he had given up on worms pretty much, because lizards did just as well or better for him in most cases. I finally found out he was right! If you don't try them, you're screwing up!
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.

    I use a lot of different dropshot plastics...Roboworm are great...Dream Shots...a real good one that doesn't get mentioned a lot, especially good for smallmouth is a Gulp leech.

    Roboworm’s are a staple. Others have mentioned morning dawn, anything green pumpkin and a purple like MM as well. Others I use are the reins bubbling shaker, xzone finesse slammer, OSP Mylar minnow and Megabass hazedong Shad

    My go to for a few years was the sniper baits sniper snub, can only get them now i think at mardons resort next to pktholes reservoir. Guess the guy stopped making them. Iv since started using roboworm in morning down , especially for largemouth. They love that color. The missile baits bomb shot is another good one. Strike king half shell and picked up a couple of packs recently of the maxscent worms to try out.
