Weld's Largemouth Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Hey all, I just bought a couple Creme Rigged Scoundrel Worms at Walmart for a buck fifty each and started using them and the first fish i landed was a 6lber! I reel it fast along the surface like a buzzbait, and i was wondering if this is the proper way to work it. It seems to attract the bass like crazy, and they strike at it multiple times, cast after cast. The worm itself isnt very durable and has ripped away but i rigged a big bite baits lizard on it and i wish for the same, and maybe even better effect the worm had. Is this lure meant to be topwater? Or is it supposed to be worked like a senko? Ive got many fish using it as a buzzbait. Its my new favorite topwater. Looking for any input Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 18, 2014 Super User Posted July 18, 2014 The Westy worm now owned by Lobina lures is a improved version of the pre-rigged worm, check them out. Tom Quote

Tom Those worms look nice and I may buy one, but trhey are not like the creme pre rigged worm, it is missing the front propeller and beads that give the creme worm a buzz bait action which I love Quote
frogflogger Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 The rigged creme worm has fallen out of favor but it's still a very potent bait - buzzing it across the surface is just one of several retrieves that work. The westy worm is a good rigged worm (we were making a similar one years ago) but it doesn't have the versatility of the creme. You can make the creme spin in wide slow circles which is deadly at times. Quote
Kevin Beachy Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I cast out and let it sink. The slowly start reeling and stop for a little. I do this the whole way back. It seems to work great! Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 I reel it fast along the surface like a buzzbait, and i was wondering if this is the proper way to work it. Instead of asking if it is the proper way to work it ( is evident you are doing well ) better ask if it is the only way to work it. No "rules" There´s more ways to skin a cat. A deadly way is to cast it, let is sink and then reel it in steadily and very slowly. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 20, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 20, 2014 Used to fish them a lot and caught tons of everything on them. I pinched a medium sized split shot about a foot in front of the bait and reeled them very slowly. Quote
