As bass start their move from the shallows to deep summer time positions on ledges, drops and channel breaks a big plastic worm becomes a big part of the anglers arsenal. Fished on a 7 foot or longer rod with up to a 1/2 ounce weight and fluorocarbon line this is a big fish magnet style of worm.
There are many great big, 10 inches or bigger, worms on the market but we have narrowed it down to our seven favorites.
Zoom Ol' Monster
1.
Zoom Ol' Monster- one of the first big worms and still one of the best. Great color selection, excellent action with a tapered ribbon tail and durable as well. If it says Zoom you know it catches fish. We like plum, watermelon candy and plum with blue fleck the best. Durability and dependability is its middle name. Kentucky Lake Elite anglers will be throwing this worm. (

2.
Kicker Fish High Tail Worm- a new worm that stands up, literally, when fished deep. The High Tail is symetrical and doesn't have a flat side. No line twists with this worm and because it has the holes build in it floats and acts differently that others in its class. Great colors and attractive pricing makes this worm special.(

3.
Berkley Power Worm- another standard worm and one that has been catching fish for years. A bit larger that the previous two mentioned and the bulk and Power technology/scent can mean more bites. Great worm to hop on the bottom to disperse power bait attractant. Look for this worm to be used by numerous competitiors at the BASS Elite Series event on Kentucky Lake. A longtime stalwart on that pond! (

4.
Strike King Anaconda- another relatively new big worm but one that uses "RAGE" technology/engineering to give it action. Can be used in stained water effectively as this worm puts out good vibration and can fire up a school. Great colors in this worm as well.(

Kriet Tail Worm
5.
Big Bite Baits-Kriet Tail Worm- This monster has all the ingredients: good scent, good size, unique ribbon tail and great color selection.The tapered shape of this worm provides great action and also allows this worm to slide through ugly cover as well. Narrow tail section to wide tail really makes this a thumper.(

6.
Gene Larew El Salto Grande- this redesigned beauty has more bulk than previous offerings. Its a kicker bass finder at 12 inches, and its increased size allows it to attract bass from a distance. Salt is added so bass that hit it stay hooked up.(

7.
