ElaZtech plastic certainly floats as well as any, but dang, I think it is hard to work with them. On a drop shot rig, I like to barely hook a worm sort of under the "jaw," bring the very tip of the hook out what would be the nose or mouth, KVD style. But, ElaZtech worms "spring back" against being penetrated . . . making really accurate hook placements difficult.
I am certain many of you have figured ways around this.
Roboworms? I occasionally have one thrown off by the fish toward the end of the fight, paddle over and pick it up off the top of the water . . . if I see it. I can't recall . . . is it the Roboworm or perhaps it and a few others that don't float well right out of the bag but after a few minutes in the water . . . they do?
Anyway, on a drop shot rig, a roboworm sticks out like a sixteen year old's d***. This is one reason it is such an outstanding drop shot plastic.

Brad Every robo I've ever used. (Thousands) float. And yes, unlike a 50 yr old....they do seem to work a little better.

Yea I just told him how I throw it weightless is all. I actually tie it off to a small swivel to give it just a little more weight its all a preference thing. We all know someone has a better way to fish a certain product in their eyes. Not saying thats what you were implying its just the TFF way Im pretty sure it floats pretty well weightless?
Throw it on a spinning setup with braid with a fluro leader and it should float pretty well. I thought flouro line sinks. I apologize for making this statement.

Go to any one that hand pours or injects worms they can make one that floats. It is the type of plastic or a micro bubble can be added to float even better.

I have several packages of the Zoom trick worm-which I thought floated-but they don't. They're supposed to so maybe I got a bad batch?
Zoom Trick Worms have never floated. They don't advertise them to but they still catch the heck outta the fish!
