FAQ's

How do you fish a Zoom Trick Worm?

A standout feature of the Trick Worm is its versatility. Believe me when I say there really are no limits to how you can fish this thing! Some of the most popular techniques to use for the trick worm are the following:

  • Weightless (Texas-style)
  • Weightless Wacky
  • On a Shaky Head
  • On a Carolina Rig

Does the Zoom Trick Worm Float?

While it is often referred to as a "floating worm", the Trick Worm doesn't actually float. It is salt-impregnated, this gives the worm weight and actually causes it to sink slowly, even without the added weight of a sinker.

Do you use a weight with a Trick Worm?

You can use a weighted rig for the Trick Worm but you definitely don't have to! The Trick Worm has an incredibly natural action when fished weightless and as a result, this is one of the most popular ways to fish it. Having said that, the Trick Worm is often fished on weighted Texas rigs and on shakey heads. These techniques allow anglers to get the bait to the bottom faster and cover more water. All of that said, if you want to present the Trick Worm in the most natural, effective way possible, go ahead and throw it weightless, especially if you are fishing shallow water.
