Default shaky worms

Just curious if anyone here had tried both the Berkley Powerbait shaky worm and the Berkley Gulp shaky worms? And if so, how did they compare? Do you find one preferable over the other?

I use Berkley's powerbait shaky worms 60- 70 percent of the time I throw a shaky worm. I like it alot, it is a better quality of plastic than alot of other finesse worms I use. I've used gulp baits alittle but not the shaky worm. No matter what I do my gulp baits always dry out, so I usually don't use them.
Good fishin

Neither, I like Roboworms. There soft and can tear easily but the bass like 'em. They can be hard to find but if you can, give these baits a try. They have more action than some of the others but for me they are the best. Yes I've tryed some of the those that your talking about.

my personal choice is the zoom finesse worm in watermelon red or mardi gras like i said in another post. Im not a huge fan of the berkley shakey head but i do love the hand poured worms.

I get them at Academy, but you guys up there have yet to experience such phenomenon. So here is a link.

keith...i have tried them and i really like them. but i prefer powerbait over almost anything out there in every style of softplastic. one big exception is i really like the paca craw over the chigger craw, i am a strong believer in the powerbait scent and i don't know if it's my imaginaion...the different scent....or maybe it's the action but i catch more fish on the paca craw. also i seen where netbait now has the tmac on the market which should be killer on a shakeyhead. but i guess to answer your question i really do like the powerbait shakey worms.
