Big Worms

Ned Rig anyone?

We recently fished at Lake Picachos in Mexico (it was HOT) using 8", 10" and 12" worms that I poured. These were much softer than most store-bought plastic. The bigger fish all came on the longer worms with the Owner 7/0 hook they make for big worms.

Picachos is a similar clear-water reservoir, but has a lot of flooded mesquite. The big fish were relating to rock structure, not wood, It got me wondering about using the big worms on TR.

That plum color is apparently hot at several Ozark lakes as I have made a heck of a lot of the hand-pour drop-shot worms in that color lately for friends that are guides and tournament anglers. I may try that color in big worms.

Thanks for the input.

Pepe, that plum color has historically worked very well for me any time the water temperature reaches 80 or above. Probably has zip to do with the actual water temp, but something that coincides with it.

Another very good color that is pretty much impossible to find these days is good ol' strawberry. No flake, just a plain ol' translucent strawberry red worm. I like them in finesse size for that tough daytime bite from now thru the end of September but I'm sure it would work well in a big worm, too.

The thing about worms to me as much as the color is the right weight and line I am using. Most of the time I do not like the worm to crash down on top of brush or off ledges. A 10" worm and a 3/16 or 1/4 oz weight on 12 lb test mono around here is about as heavy as I go.

Try a Missle Baits Tomahawk worm. Think they are a little shorter than 10 inches. They have a forked tail. Little different look.

Here is one.

Everything is relative.

Plum, red bug, crabapple, red black core. All good summer colors.

Plain red and blue are hard to find. Still work though. Will shoot you a PM.

Motor oil in a solid color is tricky too! If there are any around in any of these colors I'd like to know.
