berkley vs zoom
i have been fishing berkley exclusive,but i keep eyeing zoom worms and lizards and i will admit that they are cheaper and for me i can buy em local easy and much more selection.are they comparable and the main ? can i catch the same fish on a zoom as a berkley power worm.

I think zoom's are just as good or better than berkley's. I'm not sure about your last question but zoom's will definetly put plenty of fish in the boat for you.

at times i personally think that the berkley powerbait scent makes a difference. but make no mistake.....zoom baits will catch fish.

I like Zoom soft plastics, especially the babybrushhogs. I always spray them with a scent though. Crawfish or Garlic.

Yes, anything you can catch on Berkely you can catch on Zoom. I almost exclusively use zoom, but my friend recently got a "care package" (long story) from berkley and last tournament in the same boat throwimg the same shakey heads, my zoom outfished his berkley. Berkley and Zoom are both great companies so it is still your choice.

zoom is my favorite bait company most of the plastics i use are zoom. my favorites that really can catch fish are the finesse worms,trick worms,brush hogs,all of their craws,centipedes,u-tale,and swamp crawler. but all of their baits are extremely good

It really depends on the situation and the baits you like to throw... I like the Zoom finesse worms and lizards but the only craw type trailer i will use on my football jigs is a 3" Berkley Chigger Craw... They are both outstanding companies with fair prices on their products but when the bite is tough i prefer Berkley Powerbait.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
No kidding, zoom products offer you a lot of variety in baits, they are cheap and they work. |

I use the Berkley powerworm more than any other ribbontail worm but there are three Zoom baits that I throw more often than a ribbontail: Trick worm, finesse worm, and the fish doctor (my goto bait).

Both are good. But nothing beats the Horny Toad.

I think Zoom baits are much more soft and flexible , but berkley has the scent... I do like zoom better myself. You can get some scent of your own liking and spray or dip zooms..

95% of my plastics are Zoom. They have such a variety and they are inexpensive.

Love the powerbait ribbontail worms. You can't go wrong with zoom either.

In my opinion, you've named the two best plastic bait manufacturers in the business. I use them both. Mostly Zoom. I do think fish will hang onto the Berkley baits longer though.

I have been throwing zoom for many years and adding sent to the bags but have recently switched to net bait sinko, craws , trick worms, and jig trailers, but allways will have some zoom speed craws.
