are y'all able to see this? Cause I can't.
The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

Finally got them to open so I could see them....Those look great..do you do anything comparable to a fluke, brush hog, or trick worm?

Those airtail wigglers look pretty good. Ordered a few packs and will see how they work instead of the Zooms I typically use.

Roboworms float, but do tear up pretty easily. Kicker Fish Holeshot worms have a floating tail that floats up well. Zoom Trick worms sink slowly but do not float (original ones anyway).
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Z-Man soft plastics All Z-Man plastics float. Just be sure to separate them. Roboworm Roboworm's float as well!

I'm learning a lot..thanks for the replies. I guess what really matters to me is finding a soft plastic that will float a 3/0 or 4/0 hook...the stand up thing is new to me,and there are some great products that work for that application.

I was confused about the zoom trick worm until I realized they make two versions-the original
which does float and the salt plus which does not. Several Zoom Trick worms, original and new = Zero floaters 
Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 10 G3, Helix 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N,
Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 12 G3, MEGA 360, MEGA LIVE TL , MEGA LIVE 2, Xplore 10

All the baits mentioned in previous post will not "float".
They will "stand up" when paired with a hook and weight.
post a video that shows me a bait that will actually "float" a 3/0 hook.
I want to see a bait that you can rig to fish and float it over weed beds.
is there one of those ?

I don't really know if it floats or not but the KickerFish bubble fry is deadly on a Carolina Rig.
