Your First Plastic Worm Fish........

[Bankbeater]

I was fishing a t-rigged grape colored creme worm in some timber.  I felt that familiar tap, tap, tap, and set the hook.  I was a little dink, but I'll never forget it.

^^^^^^

This is me too.

 

 I started fishing that natural colored job with the beads & little prop on the front.

Same. Only mine was purple and it seemed like it had beaded chain molded in the middle that the hooks attached to. It was about 40 years ago, so...I might be "misremembering".

Summer of 1989. I was 14 years old and was at a cookout on Cape Cod. I took one of the fishing rods at the person's house already rigged with a black plastic worm and walked across the street to a pond. I caught my first bass after 10 casts and haven't stopped fishing since.

Watermelon red trickworm rigged on an aberdeen baitholder hook back when i was about 10. Been hooked on worm fishin ever since. I dont really get away from a texas rig very often

Lake Shasta, 1957. Rigged Creme worm fished with a depsey sinker clipped onto a swivel clip with the rigged worm leader and dragging the rig over points. Two old guys showed me how to rig the "rubber worms" and gave me a few to try out. All the bass were over 3 lbs and couldn't get any bass on the lures we had with us on a family vacation. We ran out of the rubber worms and couldn't find them anywhere. Never will forget that experience.

Jelly Worm, grape I think. So long ago I don't even remember for sure. Senko didn't exist yet. I think I'll pick some up and fish next time, just for fun memory of it.

I was a young boy sitting on a dock. I man was fishing near by and caught a big fish on a plastic worm. I said "hey mister how do you work them" The nice man threw me a pack of worms and said "you don't work them, they work for you" but for the life of me I can't remember what the worms were called.

Hmm...now that's whats up...an experienced fisherman "passing it on!"

Hella va story...thanks for sharing!

I remeber it like it was yesterday... but it was 1981 and we had just moved to Tx.  I can tell you exactly where I was, where I cast, what the weather and water conditions were to the "T".  and it was a Barlow's poured purple "fire tail."  (was also my new PB at the time- 4.5lbs)  But, like most,  I can forget my anniversary or wife's birthday on occasion.  LOL

The "tap" has been my addiction ever since 1973. Using a natural colored Crème Scoundrel and cast it out, felt the tap...... for that instant you don't know if it's a dink or a lunker. I tune out and it's all there is in my mind.

I don't remember what worm I was using, or when it was exactly, but I do remember pre-rigging the Texas rigs the day before because the rigging technique was so foreign to me.  It took me quite some time to get them straight enough.  Some how I left a tag line off the hook, but have no recollection how I attached these pre-rigs to the mainline.   I only caught one that next day, but was a two pounder or so, out of a local pond that took me about a 1/2 hour to get to by three-wheeler.

Don't remember the bite, but it was definitely on a Zoom Trickworm in junebug. That used to be the ONE and ONLY worm I would use. The fish in my profile came one the same kind of worm come to think about it. I definitely remember that one.
