I use the 10" power worms and Zoom Ol Monsters as well and have caught smaller fish on them...but these 7" Stiko/Senkos are so much bigger around which is what I think makes the difference. They are are as big around as a nice cigar.

I agree if the big stuff is there they'll hit one....but I have not picked up any of the smaller fish on one like I have on the 10" worms.
Bergen - I mostly fish the 6" T Rigged with no weight. If it's weedy and I don't get anything weightless I'll use up to a 1/2 oz bullet pegged. I rarely fish any of the sizes whacky unless I'm not around weeds....and I'm usually in or around the weeds. On a 7' Med-Hvy Rod I seem to be able to throw those 7" guys a lot farther...even when I don't want to...they weigh a ton.
