Roboworms. And an occasional Berkley Gulp minnow or a caffeine Shad. 99% I use a robo.

Hooked just barely inside the nose I like robo's and zoom finesse worms. Chartreuse pepper has been working well right now. I like to wacky rig it as well with senkos in watermelon red and white/green laminate. They have been producing lately.

Funny you ask, I was just experimenting with drop shot baits in the pool. And I have to say that the Lake Fork Live Magic Shad appears to be one awesome drop shot bait. It looked like actual live bait.

Zoom finesse worms and in winter when fish are very sluggish I will drop shop a bobby garland baby shad crappie bait. Believe it or not they kick butt sometimes!
I dont fish for a living but i LIVE TO FISH!

Zoom finesse worms and in winter when fish are very sluggish I will drop shop a bobby garland baby shad crappie bait. Believe it or not they kick butt sometimes! I caught my first bass on Lake Fork on a BG crappie bait. It was two years before I actually realized that what happened that day wasn't a fluke. I use the LFT crappie baits now. To answer the OP, I use pretty much whatever finesse style worm I brought with me that day. Roboworms are good, but I've caught plenty of fish on Buddy's finesse worms (Lake Fork locally made), Zoom finesse worms, Chompers finesse worms, Luck-E-Strike finesse worms and on and on. I've watched one of the Lake Fork guides, Richie White, catch them with A BUSINESS CARD on a drop shot. One of the coolest things I've seen.

I use basically one bait. As you've heard, the roboworm. I like margarita mutilator and aarons magic, the only colors I use.

Roboworm 4.5" Straight Tail Worm For sure my all time favorite bait. I've caught so many fish on a drop shot, big ones too! They have a lot of action and the fish just can't resist it.
