Favorite trout worm?

O.K., here it is...

What brand and color of trout worm do you prefer?

Do you use a whole or half?

Sliding sinker, split shot or jighead?

Do you have a theory on why your technique works over others?

Do you use scent?

If yes, what brand and flavor do you use and how many others have you tried?

Does your technique work equally well on the DFG fish as it does on Super stockers?

Besides trout what other species of fish have you caught and how does you technique differ when targeting those species.

I use Lip RipperZ and Power Worms. Prefer Lip RipperZ.

Colors: Fighting Frog, White Lightning, Orange Silver, Sherbert, Banana Split.

Size: 3/4 Lip Ripper, whole PW.

Split Shot or Jig Head, depending on depth

My theory, I use what works and catches fish.

No scent.

I use PWs for the DFG fish, Lip RipperZ for everything else.

I have caught Crappie, bluegill, bullgills (bluegill over 2 pounds), and bass.

I just placed an order for several different types of trout worms, I am going to field test them and see what I think. I have not purchased Lip Ripperz yet, besides the Orange and Chartreuse what other colors should I get?

I fish the worms in this order usually: Orange, Fighting Frog, White Lightning. I haven't used Chartreuse in a while. Haven't had the need to.

Well, before I answer your above questions my favorite color is the light yellow with Green. I think that is fighting frog, but I will need Bryson to confirm that for me.

What brand and color of trout worm do you prefer?
Lip Ripperz, favorite color is orange and the one I mentioned above, though the cotton candy works very well for me on the bluegill. Though I like the "natural" power worm.

Do you use a whole or half?
Again depends. In the Sierra's and on other DFG fish, usually half on a jig head. Though for bass and bluegill I use 3/4 to whole one on a #10 hook.

Sliding sinker, split shot or jighead?
I have used them all. If you can float it, a lip ripper will work just like powerbait, cast it out and let it sit. ssssssshhhhhhh don't tell anyone about that.

Do you have a theory on why your technique works over others?
Not really, because I have been fishing where Bryson and I are both fishing lip ripperz and he has outfished me.

Do you use scent?
Usually no.

If yes, what brand and flavor do you use and how many others have you tried?
I have tried just about all of the scents out there from Hot Sauce to Anise. Though I usually don't use sauce on plastics, when I use scent right now it is Powerbait Powersauce or whatever in Garlic Flavor.

Does your technique work equally well on the DFG fish as it does on Super stockers?
I have had wide open days.

Besides trout what other species of fish have you caught and how does you technique differ when targeting those species.
Well, Like I mentioned before I have had a lot of luck on bass, bluegill, and crappie on Lip ripperz. Powerworms are too small and flimsy to really fish for bass, crappie I am sure they would work on, but I use lip ripperz. Look at Bryson's 2.5lber. Again "fighting frog" is my favorite color at lake perris for bass. We have gone out there and had 50 bass days.

Lip Ripperz but other ones like Powerworms and creme trout worms are good too...

Do you use a whole or half?
anywhere from half to 3/4 to whole

Sliding sinker, split shot or jighead?
ive never tried it on asliding sinker, and have had wierd results with a split shot so i prefer jigheads, and weightless in GVL

Do you have a theory on why your technique works over others?
when theyre feeding on top, drifting a weightless l trout worm resembles a worm that has fallen into the water

Do you use scent?
yes, it helps a lot

If yes, what brand and flavor do you use and how many others have you tried?
NITRO GREASE!!!!!!! actually, thats the only sent that i havent liked. but my favorites are the power dip in garlic and the yellow Baitmate (best part is the psychodelic chumslick).

Does your technique work equally well on the DFG fish as it does on Super stockers?
no i suck

Besides trout what other species of fish have you caught and how does you technique differ when targeting those species.
bass hit trout worms just as much as the trout do...
