The Original Zoom Worm

  
  
  
  
  
  

Original Zoom Worm

Thanks for playing along with our little trivia piece yesterday. We really loved some of the creative answers. It's always fun to take a look back on the history of product manufacturers.

The worm is "The Original Zoom Worm." This was from the original mold made by "Zoom" Zimmerman. I think that worm would still catch a bunch of bass. And it's funny to me how a lot of worms today still look like that worm poured in the early 1970s.

The fact is there is more to a worm that works than a shape or a color. The action, the formulation, the absence of detracting odors all make for a good plastic offering. Many manufacturers today have all of these things.

We just thought it would be fun for you guys to stew for a day over the worm. Some of you guessed right and some of you made great logical guesses. The fact is there are many great worms, creatures, soft jerkbaits, craws on the market.

We carry boat loads of these softbaits because sometimes bass want a cherry and not a junebug. Sometimes they want the scent and sometimes they want the action.

But we generally stick with products made by folks who love bass fishing. The guys and gals who have fishing in their blood. The manufacturers that are wired to fish!

Thanks Zoom for the fun shapes and colors we all get to play with.

Anybody know a place that sells the worms. I use to have a place that sold them but they ran out and said their distributor could not get them anymore

I found a distributor with 9 bags of Green Pumpkin and 15 bags of Watermelon Red. They are all gone now. I'm still looking for some in Red Bug and Red Shad if anyone has a source.
