TripDaddy Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Here's a pic (sorry camera phone quality) of one I caught today on a Culprit Grape Firetail worm. Does anyone else fish these worms? If so, what colors work best in stained and clear water? BTW...today's catch was in stained water. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted April 28, 2007 Super User Posted April 28, 2007 Culprits are a favorite of mine, Black Shad is the best color IMHO. Along with Red Shad and Motor oil you can fish any water anywhere. I like the motor oil color in clear water, black & red shad in stained. JMHO Ronnie Quote
captaininsaneo Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 red shad is my favorite when the water has more color. I also have great luck with them at night. Quote
Top Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 can't go wrong with red shad anything where I live. the 10 inch culprit in red shad is the ticket right now. AL Quote
BOOYAH Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I like the red shad and my favorite is moccosin color. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted April 29, 2007 Super User Posted April 29, 2007 My favorite culprit pattern, like Ronnie, is also Black Shad. Because it incorporates both a dark and light color I'm confident with black shad in any water clarity. I also use red shad. My wife likes "Fire & Ice" and often outfishes me Roger Quote
GatorBK Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I like the fire and ice color its like a red and metalflake purple mixed I use it in stained and clear water works great for me in both Quote
garry77 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I like them in watermelon seed,junebug,red shad,black shad,and my best all around color has been okee gold. Quote
TripDaddy Posted April 29, 2007 Author Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks for all of the great info guys! I already picked up a crawdad and fire and ice colors. I would have picked up more but that's the only ones they had at the store that were listed here. Thanks again everyone! Quote

justfishin Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I am with Alpster. After 35 years of chasing bass I have to say a red shad and black shad are two of the best, hands down. I only carry six color worms anymore. Culprit Red Shad, Black Shad, Blueberry Tassel Tails and Blue Fleck Power Bait Worms along with Green pumpkin Trick worms. I also carry Wasp pencil worms in Green Pumpkin. Thats all I need personally. Quote
Yodie Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 My go to worm is the 10 inch Blueberry, I also like the Blue flake Moccasin and the old clear Ice Blue that they dont make anymore, also the two tone Ice Blue with a milky blue pearlescent bottom half was a favortie until my dads tournament supply ran out. I really wish Culprit would bring those two colors back... Quote
wickyman Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I don't know of the availability in my area, but I have heard that many anglers prefer the motor oil color, in many conditions! I just bought a spinner, and buzzer by culprit, and they seem really good! I have only just tossed out the spinner this afternoon, but I was just messing around. It works very well! Quote
Jerkbate Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Fire & Ice is the only color Culprit I fish. Quote
wickyman Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I need to get some of these, they look pretty cool, and they are cheap, which is all the better! Much more money for terminal tackle! Quote
Super User senile1 Posted May 1, 2007 Super User Posted May 1, 2007 I like the black shad and watermelon green gold in that order. Quote
norm2525 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I have not fished them in stained water but the clearwater colors that I like are watermelon, pumpkin and crawfish. Im not sure if they still make the crawfish color though. Hope so, Im getting low. Also, I like junebug after dark. Quote
DrumintheSuds Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Been fishing these worms for 2 decades and you can't beat a Culprit worm with the color options. I fish a lot of black, stained water in North Carolina and I kill the bass with the Grape/Red Tail, Fire and Ice and any combination of a dark color and Red or Chartreuse tail. To add to an already great worm I dip the tails in Spike-It red or chartreuse and the tails glow even more in the stained black water. It is pretty common to fish up 2 bags or more in a day when I hit my "private water". Quote
RecMar8541 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Junebug, Red shad, Black (10 in), watermelon redflake shad (silver bottom) I have had alot of luck with the last in clear water with dark bottom lakes! Tight lines!! Quote
TripDaddy Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 Wow guys! Thanks for all the replies. Now I just need to go buy some more of these colors. Thanks again! Quote
BadKarma42 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I have had good success on the Tequilla color. Quote
