ClackerBuzz Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 I bought a bunch of their 6" worms and love the Okeechobee Magic b/c it is a monster worm EXACTLY like Yamamoto's 6". However the other 8 colors are all skinny. I don't know if the thick/monster style is their 'new' generation or 'old'. Does anyone know if they are switching to a thick worm? Or saving money and going skinny? Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted October 28, 2012 Super User Posted October 28, 2012 I use a lot of both 5 3/8 and 6". The only difference is length. I have not bought any since re-stocking last spring (2011) while they were on sale, so there could have been a change made this year that I'm not aware of. I hope not, I have caught many fish on them. A "magnum" size might work though... Quote

boatinpete Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Clacker I can't believe you noticed it also,I thought I was the only one. Seems like BassPro is getting cheap,usually purchase baby bass color cause it is one of the fatter ones left. Quote
11justin22 Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Man I hope they are not changing. I have caught a ton of fish on these. They have saved my butt on more than one occasion. Quote
whale Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 is it me or do they seem more transparent as well? Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted November 1, 2012 Super User Posted November 1, 2012 I'm still ok for a while. I have a three bags I bought about a year ago that I have never opened. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 I confirmed it with a 'resident plastics' guy at a BPS location. the new bags of worms are starting to come in skinny. he said corporate usually proudly announces any changes to their lines but he didn't hear anything about the senkos. that made him believe they are trying to fly under the radar w/ the change and save money.

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 2, 2012 Global Moderator Posted November 2, 2012 If you want a thicker version of the Stick O's then buy the 7" version, they're way thicker than the smaller baits. If it's longer than you'd like then cut however much you want off the top and fish it like that. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted November 2, 2012 Super User Posted November 2, 2012 They had a problem with quite a few of the plastics shrinking up during the pour process. It's not a long term thing, if you've seen it at all. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted November 3, 2012 Super User Posted November 3, 2012 Checked the Stickos at our Cincinnati store yesterday. Ours are still fat. Hootie Quote
