Wiggle Wart Color?

[abkeenan]

For whatever reason I have been using a hand painted one I did and have been catching anything from small mouths, K'S, Crappie on them.

Is that a Wiggle Wart? Looks more like a Rebel Wee R or other Rebel model.

Anyone try the new "Madflash" Wiggle Warts?

Also curious as to how cold of water you guys keep fishing them in? I always thought of WW's as losing their effectiveness once the water temp drops below 50 - but I could be wrong!

I have done very well with the madflash series. I'm not sure of the color name, but its a rusty brown color. Maybe phantom brown?? But I've done well on it recently.

Mossy craw is the color. I looked it up on tackle warehouse.

It is a Bandit copy. It runs like a cross between a 200 and 300. same body as both but thicker bill. I bought some blanks and started painting..Don't know why, but it really works...something to do when the weather is bad....

I thought I was using an orange craw WW this weekend, but obviously it was phantom something or other, 'cause the fish weren't seeing it?

All you need is a chrome WW and spray transparent paint over the top.

I'm not a bass fisherman, I'm usually looking for more tasty critters like crappie. I've got a question, though. Why do so many bass fishermen use baitcaster rigs to throw lures like Wiggle Warts (or any "plugs"), spinnerbaits, top-water lures, and such?

I fish for bass occasionally and I like baitcaster outfits for lures worked slow along the bottom - Carolina and Texas rigged soft baits, jigs, football jigs, etc. For lures that get retrieved faster, though, and for which there's a lot of casting, I like spinning tackle. Is there any advantage at all to using baitcaster rigs for those?

I've gotta say, though, it's a pleasure to watch good bass fishermen at work with those baitcasters. I still get backlashes sometimes.

I use BC's now for WW's, plugs, SB's, and heavier topwaters. I'm more accurate with my BC, and my BC rods are technique specific for cranks and SB's. For SB's especially, you don't get the line twist issues with a BC that you'll get with a spinning rod. Working a mid or deep diving crank on a spinning rod is a chore, much easier with a BC. I do like a spinning outfit for jerkbaits, i just seem to be able to work them better with a spinning outift, but a lot of guys like to use the BC for that application.
