Awesome man, what is the best to use? I am using zooms (watermelon seeds and bubble gum) I don't really know much about lures or how to use them??

The Zoom plastics you have - are they worms or something else?

worms, some are the trick worms and some have the squiggly tale

Fish the trick worms with a hook and no weight.  The nice slow fall triggers more bites. 3/0 or 4/0 offset worm hook for all your worms.  Add a bullet weight to the curly tails.  I use the lightest weight I can get by with and still get the job done.  If you fish deeper water, water with current, or in high wind conditions you may need to add a heavier weight. Hope this helps.

You can use weights on both worms - yes - but if fishing shallow water I'd suggest weightless regards trick worms.  If it is really windy you may need to add a bullet weight to the trick worm to actually maintain good contact with the bait in order to feel the bites.  The lighter the weight the better.  Bullet weights generally come in 1/16 ounce to over 1 ounce.  I use 1/8 ounce to 1/4 ounce most often.
