Thank you one and all. I like the idea of taking him tackle shopping. Naturally I’d take advantage and treat myself at the same time. Maybe see you there!

To be specific, we are talking about plastic worms, right? I am not aware of any "rubber" worms on the market.
Every vendor i've seen carries thousands of different mfgrs, colors, sizes, shapes, and such, but not rubber.

Hey there doryman I've worm fished all my life and have found that black is the best color and the plainer and straighter the better ,we tear the bass up here in southwest Florida with black zoom worm from Walmart use a good hook and as little weight as you can get away with hook him up weedless the most versatile bait around.fish the bottom and work it slow my son caught his 1st bass on a worm at 4 years of age good luck!

Those Z-man baits are made with a new polymer called elastomer. This makes it very hard to rig on a jighead. You have to make a pilot hole with the hook when using a worm hook and getting it over the last 1/2 inch is REALLY tough. BUT--they do work great. I do prefer the Slam Shady in 3-4 inch size.

Yamamoto Senkos in 3" are outstanding for small mouth. Wacky rig with no weight. Just cast, let sink, a few bottom twitches then do it again. Although not a worm, When I lived in Castine, Maine, my favorite was a tube worm for largmouth in the local ponds. Senko's did not exist then. I just used enough weight for slow sink near structure.

he was truthful

There's a right and a wrong way to hook a plastic worm. It should hang straight off your line. A nice YouTube video would come in handy.
Now back to what you said about crappies, I am just getting started on that journey. Would flies work if they were hitting the surface? You mentioned hair jigs. Is that like a small fluke with the hair coming off the face?

Not only the length and the color of the worm, but how you use them. Some use a jig head with the worm attached, most use the 'Texas Rig". Some even throw out and skim it on top, much like a snake. Now the hook, I use a 4 or 5/0 worm hook. They look funny, but you want the worm to be in line with the string when fishing. Good luck
