Comments: Long before the TRD and various other Zman Ned Rig specific baits came along we had the Zman 4" Finesse WormZ. Of all the other baits available now this 4" bait is my favorite for throwing on a Ned Rig. Sometimes I take a little off the end; sometimes I don't trim it down at all and throw the whole bait on a Ned head. Regardless; this bait just flat out works. It's a classics shape and design that has been proven out on the water many times over. It's made of very durable Elaztech so you can catch dozens and dozens of fish on each bait (or more). It's buoyant so it stands straight up off the bottom rigged on a light Ned head (I prefer a 1/16oz. Zman OG head). The color selection while very basic still offers the right colors (although I'd love Black Blue Flake in the 4" version). I have fished other 4" style finesse worms on a Ned Rig and they all seem to work at times; the Zman 4" Finesse WormZ seem to work almost all the time. It's a very deadly bait when retrieved using all six Midwest finesse retrieves. I prefer to deadstick this bait with an occasional hop. I also really love using the oldie but goodie Charlie Brewer Slider Fishing style of retrieve with this bait. If you cannot catch a Bass that way you're probably not going to catch anything that particular day. The bottom line is that this bait just flat out works and fortunately for me this bait seems to have been lost in the shuffle of new shapes and designs. If you want to try something different or you're just getting into Ned Rigging I would seriously recommend this bait. If you want to go back and go old school Ned Rigging; this is the bait. And honestly; the price on this pack of 10 baits is almost unreal.

Comments: The irony with with elaztech is that yes they are super durable when fished, but when stored they are the extreme opposite. heat is bad on em, they bend and warp easily, and like the post says, don't store em with other plastics or they will melt together. A few things I do to make em store easier are
1. don't bunch them up together where they stack on each other, lay em out flat in whatever container/bag you are storing them in.
2. If they do get bent take 2 nails and pin them in a semi stretched form against a piece of wood and let em sit a few days in the heat, this will straighten em back out.
regarding the worms themselves, the floating action they have is what's unique and separates this bait from the 1000's of other straight tail worms. I rig mine on a carolina rig, so they actually float up behind the rig putting them at the level of a bass's face. most other worms will just lay on the bottom and slowly drag picking up sediment, leaves, weeds, if they are present ruining your presentation.

Comments: Me and my dad have been using these for years and they are by far the greatest worm for Texas rigging by far. The ElaZtech in the bait makes it so the worm floats up, you will catch fish on this period. The best way to rig one of these is to use a 1/4 - 5/16 oz worm weight, pegged on a 3/0 worm hook.

Comments: Tough and stands straight up on a shaky head.  This and the Bang Stick are my two shaky head worms.  I still prefer a Zoom Trick Worm for weightless and especially for drop shotting (the Zman floats up and rests parallel to your line on a drop shot rather put perpendicular).

From: Bill: Florida 6/5/20

Comments:  First of all, I love these Z-man worms. One problem I have with these worms is the packaging is too small For the dang worm. Just about every pack of these worms I buy has a bent tail, and looks horrible in the water. About unusable. The elaZteck holds that bend in the worm. Great bait! Not worth buying until that bend in every worm is fixed. I am disappointed, it did not used to be like this.

Comments: I discovered the neko rig about a year ago and it quickly became my favorite technique not only for numbers of bass but BIG bass. I was using a standard finesse worm or dinger at the time. I figured I would try these out on a neko rig since they float and I wouldn't have to constantly keep pressure on my line to keep the worm standing up. First day I tried these worms I caught at least double the amount I was catching on a standard finesse worm. The action is amazing. Trust me, pair these with a Zman neko weight and  you will not be disappointment!

Comments: Excellent dropshot bait. Stands up to multiple bites and doesn't get pulled off by bait fish.

From: David: 5/30/19

Comments: LOVE EM. these baits straight up work. ive caught using this bait on a shaky head, drop shot, texas rig and a carolina rig. great durability. watermelon red works the best. 

From: Unknown 2/3/19

Comments: The 4 inch is great for DS and the 7 is good for anything you can think of.  Been using them on shakey heads for years. Yes, they can be a pain to get on a screw lock but, if u heat up the screw up a bit with a lighter it makes it an easier job. Also if u want the same worm with more buoyancy and don't wanna presoak, stretch or break them in with a few fish to get the salt content down try the floating wormz . TW doesn't have many colors but zmans site has em hope this helps.

Comments: The ONLY 7" straight tail finesse worm that you need, in my humble opinion.  They last forever, the more worn a bait gets the better the action, and they flat out catch fish on a shakey head.  This little bait is a staple for me and I've caught some of my biggest bass on it over the last couple of years.  I'm hoarding them, in case they ever do discontinued, lol...

Comments: These worms don't take spike it dyes well. I tried dipping the tail of a 6" green pumpkin in chartreuse and you couldn't tell I dipped it. I had to let it soak, then you could barely see it. Trying to add color to the tail is useless.

From: Steve: Louisiana 4/6/18

Comments: Great on a shakey head.  I use them on Owner screw-lock shakey heads and they work great.  No problems.

From: Unknonwn 12/27/17

Comments: These worms are the only "floating worms" I've found that actually float. I bought them for my shakey head, but they are so durable I couldn't get the screw lock into the head. They make a great presentation for bass feeding off the bottom or a really picky bed fish.

From: Joe: USA 3/28/16

Comments: I have these in the wodderrmelon/ red flake color and the action is amazing. But they don't catch ennything. My cousin out fished me on the delta of a river using robowermz on a shaky head rig. By the way, these DO go on screw lock heads. Just gotta put some man muscle into it. But they do float and I'm thinking about wacky rigging them weightless next spring for spawning crappie.

From: Dilly: Belletucky, OK 7/2015

Comments: These are one of my all time favorite soft plastics to use. These things are really durable, easily get 7-10 fish per worm before its worn out. You can stretch these to your full wingspan and it wont break, stretching it does seem to put more air into it if you want it to float a bit better. I simply use the 4inch Watermelon Red or Junebug texas rigged with a tiny bullet weight and twitch it on the bottom. The tail stands up and wiggles back and forth so well, fish cant resist. Caught my top 2 personal best Largemouths on it, each just shy of 6lbs. Caution, keep these with their own kind and out of the sun so they dont melt on you.

From: Abhi: NJ 2/24/15

Comments: Great worm. I was dropping it down with a shakeyhead on fish I could see on the graph, and sticking them. DONT try to screw it onto a screw-in jig head or something like a spot remover, it wont work. I get 3-10 fish out of each worm. Read the package for storage info.

From: Jay6: USA 1/20/15

Comments: I used it today and caught 3 peacock bass and one of them was my biggest yet. This is a great worm durable and good colors.

From: Kyle: IL/ singapore

Comments: They work great, and last a long time. I used one all day and it was still usable afterwards. The line on my drop shot rig even wrapped around it really tight looking like it was cutting into the bait, but I unwrapped it and it was just like it was before it happened, also On one of them that I got it said "E King 3X"  so I think it is the same mold as the strike king worm, but cheaper than strike king worms.

Comments: any way you want to fish this turkey, you can, and it will work. Shhh...fish it on a hardhead and you wont throw the shakey no mo. Catch fish RIGHT behind some jive arse turkey who is throwing the traditional shakey head. It only took once to be that JAT to figure it out, for me. I aint no sucka!

From: meatwad: telling my non boater's secrets

Comments: this lure is terrible don't catch fish. Just kiddin caught a 5 pounder PB on Junebug wacky rigged on a dropshot fishn bout 6foot of water and he just a bout snapped my line so good lure worth 4 bucks instead of strike kings 6 bucks for like 5 worms that aren't elaztech
