Remember electric blue worms?

[zosk]

Ok guys, I am going pretty far back here, but It was probably around 25 years ago when I remember *everyone* on tablerock was throwing electric blue worms. Any of you still throwing these? I don't have any of them and can't say I've bought any in years.....been reading the board though and it just brought back memories of that particular lure for some reason.

Yes I do remember and yes I still likely have some and NO I don't throw them anymore. Likely they would still get bitten from time to time.

8" Electric Blue Larew was a hot number on LO back when we had milfoil and the water was blue.

Can you even buy Tru-Turn worm hooks nowadays ?

Still throw electric blue every summer in grass lakes. Even the occasional electric blue firetail or chartreuse tail.

Hey wrench, got some in a box somewhere. Just cant throw any fishing stuff away.

Remember them well!

My Stratos is a '93 that replaced an '88. I remember transferring all of my old plastics into the new one in 1993.

May still have a bag of them somewhere in the bottom of a storage compartment?

How about the old motor-oil or brown worm?

Maybe at the next OAF event, we should have a separate category for biggest bass caught on a bait that's older than Jordan Spieth?

Wrench- funny you say that. Still using Brute Tru-Turns to this day..on occasion.

I think the only reason I quit them is because I started dragging C-rigs and they didn't work very well for that. So to avoid carrying separate hooks for Texas/Carolina rigging I changed over to Gamakatsu/Owner style hooks.

Those Tru-Turns did me well for a lot of years. Had to sharpen them though!

Zoom motor-oil Trick worm is still a good one to throw.

A friend was rummaging around in his basement and found a bag of 25 of the large sized wine colored Flip Tail worms that dated all the way back to the Mid 60's. You could still read the price tag. It was $9 and something. Only change in them over about 50 yrs was they have taken a slight set but straighten out again. I tried one and it caught fish just like it did long ago. Over the years I have become less and less concerned about Plastic worm color. The big thing it seems to me is action or lack of that counts and the odor and how they are fished. I use a lot of Big bite 9/12 inch worms,Net bait in the same size plus Zoom Old monster, and Big Dead Ringer.

GITNBY------ Almost everything I have lots of brown and watermelon brown mixes
