Going Cheap

[JeziHogg]

_{I don't know why people don't use Elastech stuff a lot more, they last forever and they are really buoyant. Only downside is that its hard to rig them on a jig collar or spring. If u use a lighter to heat the collar or spring u can get them on. They are awesome on a shakey head because the tail will always float up}

From MCS to me "Bitters Bait and tackle. they offer 10 or more per bag and are 2 for 5 bucks. Lots of colors and have some great baits, knockoffs with some improvements."

I looked the Z man up and I will not be using any of them. I do not like the shape of the tail on those worms. The prices is also way out of line as far as I am concerned. I would like to see and smell one though. Some time ago there was a worm on the market had a decided petroleum smell to it and it was next to useless. The worms I use are 90% 10-12 inches long except the trick type. I still have my doubts they would stand up. Last spring this time I and my neighbor had a couple of evenings that were something special. In two 3 hr outings we caught 36 bass between 17-19 inches Except one that was 20 inches. I would like to see a worm stand up to that. We caught them on trick worms and used about 11/2 bags of 20.

5 bucks for an 8 pack that will last bare minimum 120 fish. Doesn't seem so out of line to me. Check them out on YouTube. Dropped in a tank with no hook, weight or line attached and they float straight up.

Good luck finding something that fits your needs!

I got stuff that does. I have over 200 Net Bait 11-12 inch brownish color worm and 100 more 10 1/2 inch Berkeley motor oil power worms. They will last me through the year. But if I see some of them I might try them. But at this point I will be going down to PBS in Springfield in about a week. I will look. The thing about the tail is I like ribbon tail type is all. The reason I doubt they can last so long is because of repeated hook ups and re set. That is a lot of tearing up the plastic.

obviously you haven't done enough reading about elaztech. I van take an 8 inch worm, stretch it to say 24 inches, and it doesnt rip or tear at all. Goes right back to original shape. The first time you hold anything elaztech you will understand.

to the OP, I suggest the Gander Mountain brand of "senko" worm. I use them often, and they go on sale for 3 packs for ten bucks often. The key is that the packs have 15 worms rather than 10.

Fish the havoc plastics. They are cheap and have a great selection. I bought pit bosses from BPS for 1.29 a pack during the spring sail. Then berkley had a mail in rebate. All said aNd done i paid 88 cents a pack! If that aint cheap enough for you, your in the wrong sport.

Wait until Walmart has a sale on lures and tackles, I was able to pick up 3 bags of senko for 10 bucks. There were dinger for 1.50 a bag, and most zooms were 1.50-1.75 a bag. At least my local walmart will do this early spring, and late fall.
