Zoom Trick Worm Texas Style
Zoom Trick Worm Texas Style
I’m looking for some tips to increase the bite and to better present the lure.
I’m thinking that I’m using too big of a hook 4/0 Gammy EWG 12# floro
I feel it would probably be best to use a smaller hook or different style hook.
Any suggestions would be great

Re: Zoom Trick Worm Texas Style
I fish the Zoom trick worm weightless using different size hooks for different rates of fall and depth. Usually a 1/0 to a 4/0 ewg hook , but mostly a 2/0. You wouldnt think so but the size hook also effects the casting distance.

I use 3/0 and 4/0 round bend offset shank worm hooks. I started missing fish when I went to wide gap hooks, so I went back to what works for me.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I’ll make the switch cause I have lost some fish too

Agree very much, a weightless Trickworm is one of my most used presentations and I have found that a 3/0 Owner medium wire straight shank gives the best hookups, with a 3/0 Owner medium wire offset being almost as good while giving a ton better plastic life.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 3:00 pmI use 3/0 and 4/0 round bend offset shank worm hooks.

I have a mild obsession with finding my "perfect" weightless Trickworm rod, I made a long navel-gazing post about it here a year or two ago. I was trying to make 16lb Sniper work but have still never found the rod/reel combo that will let me use it effectively.

seems like a long weight for it to hit the bottom

Re: Zoom Trick Worm Texas Style
Oh, very very shallow, surface twitching to maybe 3-4' at most. I am surrounded by shallow marshes with varying levels of pad cover and submerged wood, a weightless Trickworm is ideal for that sort of fishing imho. I want heavier line to deal with the heaver padded areas and want to stick with fluoro as it's almost entirely a slackline presentation and a lot of the time my line is draped over stuff so I want max vibration transmission. Switching to braid-leader would make it a much easier search.

I’ll be in a place like that soon and will give it a shot
