Big Worms

[dtrs5kprs]

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

Sent a PM. There's a company that makes a lot of old school colors down in FL.

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.

Use to have good luck with gene larew tomato ribbon tail worms in dirty water and on clear water at times

Thumbs----- I bought a bag of themissle worms Thursday. Have not made but a few cast with one. To be truthful they do not seem very sturdy to me. I will say this though. I am going to cut that tail off about 1" above the split tail and use it as a trailer on a jig.

when i used to fish LOZ , 17" berkley power worms , 7/0 hook on a 5/8oz. c-rig with a 1' leader of 30lb mono is all we ever threw at night in between docks along the concrete walls below condos,

yes i said a 17" worm, lol, almost 20"

color of the worm wasn't a big deal

we glued/taped 2 -12" worms together to make 1 big worm

just tear the tail off one 12" worm and attach the body of it to another whole 12" worm

I've heard of guys doing that. Using a lighter or something to melt the two ends together. I think I saw an article with Stacy King somewhere saying that is what he does. Need to give it a try at night and see if that changes the quality of fish that will go after something that big.

yep,a worm bigger than 12" was hard to find where I lived, so we would just make our own by doing that

the short c-rig w/ heavy mono leader with the bigger worm was something those LOZ bass were not used to seeing i guess

OMG, I just had a GREAT idea. Melt two Neds together for the ultimate night bait! LOL, or just use the entire worm to begin with, duh..............

on a slightly more serious topic, a translucent red worm has always been a very good full moon night bait for me. From Missouri and Illinois to Toledo Bend.

Son of a gun! We have a topic named "Big Worms" and yet talk about the Ned rig finds it way in. Just can't get away from it.

Ness's fault.

Man I love chucking big ol worms. We used to smoke some hammerheads up at Smithville in the late 80's early 90's swimming a 10" Purple Fiesta ribbontail through the grass on main lake points. They have always been a good night time bait on Table Rock, especially when the fish are in the cedars.
