Post on Bass section, you'll get more answers. I like a Hags Tornado, Grande Bass Rattlesnake and Lake Fork Ring Fry's. the Hags floats up best.

Call my Partner he pours a 10" worm that he can make float with some kind of new stuff he puts in baits when fisherman want them to float.

Take a Small Syringe and a very small needle, 30 gauge, and inject pockets of air into your bait, Multiple small bubbles of air. It takes some practice to balance the float but it will work. PS if you know anyone with insulin dependant diabetes you can get the needles.

using mono line as your leader might help with your plastics

Gene Larew has floating worms in 7 and 10 inch. They used to have floating lizards, but I am not sure about that any more.

Strike King 3X float up well and stretch so they are tough. Caught lots of bass on them.

Don't bass fish much any more, but I used to rig tubes on a screwlock hook with foam plugs inserted. I cut the plugs with a piece of sharpened tube. They worked great for crashing brushpiles; let 'em float up and shake the rod a little. Sometimes those bass would try to rip the rod out of my hands, lol. You'll catch some big slabs like that too.

Yup, Kicker Fish Co. Hole Shot worms are pretty good.

i like to use a big heavy weight with a long mono leader and a fluke works for me. i also make big pops so the fluke will float down really slow instead of just dragging it.
