I think the texas rigged plastic worm is not as popular anymore. Which is fine by me.  With all the new creature baits and swim baits I don't think the worm is the staple that it was in the 70's and 80's.  That is great less guys fishing them the fish don't see the everyday.  The exception is the big worm 10"  there a lot of anglers that throw it mid to late summer.  IMO the 6 to 7 inch worm is not used as much today.  I love to throw a 7" Berkley power worm in plum texas rigged.  It still catches them and it will out produce the creature baits on many days.

Yea redshad. I was one of those guys in the 70's and 80's that thought it was just the best. I still enjoy doing the texas rig. Just something I really have confidence in at certain times of the year. Just you talking about it brought back some neat memories.

I might be stuck in the 70's-80's, as I almost always have a Texas rigged lizard in the boat and often 2 rigs usually the second is a Chomper or worm. It's my confidence bait. Cotton Candy in clear water or mossy pumpkin in darker water.

what do you mean by  a Chomper?

[Bushbeater]

Just one of the best plastic baits of all time. You probably know it by a different name.
