I picked up a pack of these at Cabela's yesterday, and was wondering if anyone has any opinions good or bad... Also, I was gonna drop shot em or try to fish em on a shaky head... Is there something different or better I should use em for?

one of the most popular drop shot worms I know of, though I personally prefer a larger trick worm on the drop shot, many anglers swear by these. While they didn't suit me and I find no use for them, I can vouch that they are a nice quality plastic for sure

I like them on the shakey head, they seem to be a little delicate though but effective

I have caught a lot of fish with Roboworms. They are made from a extremely flexible plastic and have great action in the water.. I love to wacky rig them for drop shot fishing. Morning Dawn was the best color for me... back in Georgia. I have caught fish in Texas with that color as well. The negative on them is because they are so soft and flexible you are extremely lucky to get more than 1 fish out of them. I have never tried using a rubber band to attach them to a hook, so that might help. They usually get slung off the hook when the fish jumps.. my experience anyway. Shakey head fishing.. depends on the type of shakey head you use.. The heads that have a thick piece of lead that is the keeper for the worm are tough on the soft plastic.. the screw in type of keepers work better. My 2 cents

I had success dropshotting the 4.5" version in Aaron's Magic the other day when nothing else as working. I will agree with the comments about durability. One worm per fish.

Just picked up some from BPS in the Aarons Magic color. I don't think there is a bad way to fish them. I use them on a T-Rig and shakey head and sometimes a C-rig. Wacky rig will catch them too but they are super light so they can be hard to fish with much wind. Biggest problem is like formula462 said is that they aren't that durable. In this case I don't think that means they are bad quality, just soft.

I have just been using Zoom Finesse, but I have noticed on Tour most use Roboworms. Only thing I've heard is they are a little softer, which is good, you might just go through more of them. I have stopped using the KVD Dreamshot because they are just way too soft.

I like the 6in fats for shakey head and tx rigging them. But the 4in works great on a dropshot and will wear out the spotted bass on a shakey

It's funny you posted this about Roboworms. I just got home from the holiday weekend at Martin Lake and I wore them out with a 4 in. Roboworm on a drop shot. Used my last one this morning. Time to go shopping. They are a bit fragile compared to other worms but when you're catching fish who cares.
To whom much is given, much is required.

Good for Shakey Head...you will go through a lot though...they do wear fast...but one of the few actual floating worms that will stay vertical on a shakey head for extended period of time.

Is there something different or better I should use em for? Tell you what send them all to me, they do not work, I will properly dispose of the for you... I prefer Roboworm over just about any brand of plastic.... Well those and Double ZZ....
