What the solver builds around it

The most common pick at each other stage, across the 71 builds around the Trick Worm that clear without an error.

Every fish, every water

Each row is the best rig the solver can build for that fish in that water while being forced to use the Zoom Trick Worm. "Adds" lists the engine problems it brings that the free solve for the same pair does not have, and the last price column is the cost against that free solve.

Fish-and-water pairs are the ones we publish solved rigs for: water type matches and the fish is actually targeted there. Build prices are street-price estimates from our catalog.

Where it falls short

The checks the Trick Worm trips that the free solve for the same pair does not, by how many builds each one fires in. The quoted line is the engine's own message from the first build it fired in.

Hook pattern vs baitwarn in 26 builds
Striped Bass, Open Surf Beach: Trick Worm is normally rigged on a ewg or j or jig or octopus hook. You have a circle hook selected. It will physically work, but the bait will not sit or swim the way it was designed to, and weedless rigging may not be possible at all.
Soft plastics are designed around a hook pattern. On the wrong one the bait will not sit straight or rig weedless. The engine warns.
Cast weight vs rod minimumwarn in 2 builds
Muskellunge, Weedy Lake: 0.12 oz is under the rod's 1 oz minimum. A rod casts by flexing under the weight it is throwing. Below 1 oz this blank never loads, so you get a short, weak, uncontrolled cast no matter how good your technique is.
Weight, bait and float together have to reach the bottom of the rod’s casting rating, or the blank never loads. The engine warns.
