Roboworm or Yamamoto Worms?

[Guest]

For those of you out there that have used both, which would you prefer? In the GYCB line I'm refering to the curly tail and not the Senko or Kut-Tail.

Thanks....Joe

Not a tough question at all...

Roboworm... hands down... better colors, consistency, salt stripe, don't tear and fall apart like GYCB plastics.

But don't take my word for it, by all means, ask a bass. They will tell you what they prefer.

I prefer to carry some of both. The fish prefer one or the other, it seems, on various times. So with both on board, I can give the fish what they prefer. Bill K

I'll agree with Bill on this one. There are different locations and presentations where I use each type of worm.

ALL WE CAN SAY IS . ROBOWORM FLOATS, ITS ALL WE USE. UNLESS WE USE GRUBS AND JIGS, THEN ITS YAMAMOTO HANDS DOWN !

[Guest]

Yes they do. Haven't used them, that's why I asked the question. They're in the catalog and on GYCB. Looks like I'll be giving them a shot though.

Thanks all! Any style recommendations w/ Roboworm, straight tail or FAT? Colors?

Thanks....Joe

Arrons magic,M.M.II,Peoples Worm pretty much covers anywhere we fish around here-I personally like the regular 6" worm myself....4" on occasion. I dont believe I have ever fished a Yamamoto worm aside from a Senko and their Spider grub so I cant comment on any good/bads on them.

[Bill K]

I like to keep it down and simple. M.M. Aaron's Magic,Warmouth and Morning Dawn will work anywhere. Bill K.

Robo baits are awesome, I like the Folkstead (if you can find them) better than MM, the underside doesn’t crack out. I also prefer their Sour Puss over Reactions Beaver, they are really soft and for me they have a better hook-up ratio. For a fish hanging on, Yamamoto can’t be beat. Cut tail worms can out fish Senko’s at times and that says a lot.

Reservoirs, Robo’s

Delta, Yamamoto

Different baits, but both great! Load the boat with Yamamoto in the following colors:

Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Pepper, Cinnimon w/Purple, #208 Watermelon w/Red and black flack and a few others.

Use Rooworm, Aaron Magic, Oxblood w/Red flack, Warmouth, Black Grape.

Good luck and don't catch them all!

[Gary Dobyns]

I agree with Cole. They are different baits. Both have some cross overs but mostly different. Both are absolutely the best products you can buy. I could not do without my Senkos, hulagrubs, doubletails, and even cut-tails. I also could not fish without my 6in worms (reg. or fat body) or body shad worms and lets not forget about the new creature baits. Great products.

Yup, I too am with Cole and Gary. Today's angler would be foolish to choose one of these two vendors over the other. You really should have combinations of both in the boat. Anglers need to be versatile. Each company offers a unique and in some cases common niche solution, for chasing bass on any pond. Robo has some unique colors schemes, that are second to none. Yamamoto, has the widest variety of color schemes on the planet.

I am not sponsored by Robo, but I would never go out on the River or Clearlake without a variety, or my box, of Robo Zippers, Shakin worms or the straight tails. That little 3" split tail ribbed grub is an awesome finesse flip bait. The straight tails, are a dropshotter's number one choice most of the time. That new creature thing looks very appealling.

I am sponsored by Yamamoto, and there ain't a bait in their catalog that I don't have in the boat at all times. I've been using their grubs since before Gary purchased the company and it was called TWIN T's and Triple S. The Hulas are second to none and will catch fish on any pond, any time of year. The Kreature and IKA are two of the newer baits added in recent years that also catch fish constantly. The big Craw is a master piece. The Senkos and Kut-tail, what bass don't eat these two baits.

Oh, and by the way, ya better add ZOOM to this list of choices too. Who goes fishing fer bass with out a Brush hog? Then there's the Fluke, The Lizard, Big Dead Ringers, the new Horny toads and their pork chunks.

There indeed are a lot of plastic manufactures in this market today. Many who make outstanding products. For me, these three are absolute MUST HAVE IN THE BOAT products. Robo has the corner on the ribbed baits and that damn Aaron's Magic color. Yamamoto has that salty taste appeal and color choices second to none. Zoom has the ultimate bouancy in plastics. Having all three in the boat, leaves no wholes in yer plastic arsenal.

Hello Joe (5/0),

I noticed you asked specifically about the curly tail worms. As for Yamamoto, I assume you mean the 4-series (4 inch), 6-series (6 inch) and 8-series (8 inch) curly tail worms only?

No, I have never compared them head-to-toe against their Roboworm counterparts, but it wouldn't be hard to do. Maybe you could try it one day?

What I can tell you is the 4-series is small and thin. The 6-series is the most popular size of the three Yamamoto curly tails. The tail gets a rapid, tight wriggle or ripple to it, which makes it a good worm in stained water. Also, the 6-series has enough tail vibration to make it a preferred worm by some of the nocturnal lunker hunters on super clear lakes on full moons like Suagaro Lake, Canyon Lake and other clear water trophy bass lakes around Phoenix, Arizona for example.

The 8-series Yamamoto worm has a following by anglers who fish thick grass, such as in Florida and some of the dense grass lakes in Georgia and Alabama, for example. It is a fairly big worm and the tail also ripples very rapidly and tightly.

Most often, they are Texas-rigged, but some anglers have been rigging them on shaky jig heads lately too. Yes, even big worms work on shaky jig heads, and tend appeal to a better size of fish than finesse worms.

Hope it helps, Joe.

Hope all had a great 3 day weekend. Thank you all for your informative answers. Will hopefully put this information to good use!

Thanks....Joe

Thank you everyone for the kind words on our baits, we try very hard to give you guys what you want and need . Thanks for the support . Any suggestions for our next venture??? We love angler input. Thanks again for your support, a bag a week, thats all we ask.

[Gary Dobyns]

I just got home from Oroville and it's more like 6 bags a day. The bite is still great. Warmouth and MM3 were great. I think every color will work, I only tried these two. A bag a week? You poor bass-turds in So. Cal need a vacation up north. Also, bring Senkos, lots of them.

Solid toads, floating, thumper tail feet. Make the plastic tough, because they're going to get eaten!
