Are plastic worms obsolete?

[goldrod]

With all the plastics on the market, do you feel plastic worms are obsolete?
If not when and under what circumstances do you use them and feel that they prevail?

What is your rod, reel and weigh size of choice when fishing them?

[BucketHunter]

Are you talking about just the classic curly tail 7' worm?
Because when you consider the senko and finesse worms, among other things, I think the plastic worm is anything but obsolete. The senko alone is probably the number one bait amongst recreational anglers. Throw in guys who know how to shaky head and drop shot, and I bet then when you leave the realm of flipping, the "worm" is still the number one bait hands down.

Nope. Worming is always going to be a top technique. More appendages does not make a bait better.

You can have my 4" Zoom Finesse Worm when you pry it from my cold dead hand.

I have a spinning rod dedicated to a wacky rigged 4/5 senko nearly every time i go...and a casting set up dedicated to t-rigged weightless worms too. I probably use worms more than I should.

I catch more fish with the curly tail worm

Finesse worms, Texas rigged, weightless, split shot, strait tail, curly tail, senko, 10 inch, floating, shakey and I'm just listing a few applications that work great for me all the time. I would say worming is one of the most productive and versatile methods out there. Very weedless, easy to fish, inexpensive. Bass eat worms...

[Nilbasser]

Worms consistently produce fish, plain and simple. There are so many different variations and techniques that it gets mind boggling but it all comes back to the basics. Bass eat worms.

I still use a 7" Berkley Power Worm and 4" Zoom Finesse Worm often. I normally use a 3/16 or 1/4 oz tungsten bullet weight unpegged. They work everywhere I fish. I use a Dobyns DX743 or 744 depending on the cover, a Steez 103SHA, and 12 to 14 lb Sunline Shooter.

Nope. Not even red shad ribbontails.

That's a serious worm!!! What kind of fish do you catch on a worm that size?
haha j/k

In the realm of plastics, I fish worm shaped plastics more than craws, creature, frogs, flukes, paddletail-swimbaits, trailers or tubes.

[Niven8]

Not at all I throw a curly tail about 75% of the time when I am throwing a c-rig. I also throw Curley tail weightless in pockets in grass.

Any worm is fine as long as it's a Creme Flip Tail. Any color will do as long as it's black. Any length as long as it's 6 inches.

[Heronimo]

as soon as fish stop eating nightcrawlers, then the worm will be obsolete.

Summertime and a 7" or 10" Blue Fleck Powerworm go together like milk and cookies.
Whether Texas rigged or C-rigged, they catch fish.
