S. Sass Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 For me I think most is confidence like scaleface said. I have used them since I was a little kid almost always some success. Also like PourMyOwn said it does bring back good memories as a kid as well. Everything just feels right when I am putting one on. I also agree that some newer more popular bait companies worms more than likely wont be a upgrade for me. Although I have fished a whole lot of other brands I just like the blend of toughness & softness as Catt puts it. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted November 24, 2015 Global Moderator Posted November 24, 2015 Good enough for me...Thanks Mike Quote
PourMyOwn Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I love when I'm fishing with a younger guy (I'm 38) and they say, "WHAT is THAT!?" Then I show them the auger action on the drop and they can't believe it. I've caught a ton of smallmouth on 6'' auger tails on the drop. Quote

Super User MIbassyaker Posted April 23, 2024 Super User Posted April 23, 2024 Good worm. But is there really such a thing as bad worm? If so, I have never met one. Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted April 23, 2024 Super User Posted April 23, 2024 A Jelly Worm in Blackberry is one of my favorites in summer. Not only do they entice bites but they seem to last longer than most plastic worms do IMO. 2 Quote
waymont Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 In summer the purple 8” Jelly Worm with a 3/16 bullet weight kills for me. It’s m favorite size, with the 6” just behind it. 2 Quote
Elkins45 Posted April 29, 2024 Posted April 29, 2024 Back in the day before the first Mister Twister there were basically three plastic worms everybody I knew threw. The Crème Scoundrel, the Manns Jelly Worm and the Fliptail. I forgot who made the Fliptail. 2 Quote
VTFan Posted April 29, 2024 Posted April 29, 2024 You can't go wrong with a Mann's Jelly Worm. I've been fishing them since the 70's and love them. They are one of my two favorite plastic worms, the other being a stick bait style worm for wacky rigging. Back in the day purple and black grape were the colors to beat. 1 Quote

They just were not readily available like the Jelly worm which could be bought anywhere. Quote

And although I certainly didn't win anything, I experienced something similar but it was a swimbait instead of a big worm. A-Jay 2 Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted May 1, 2024 Super User Posted May 1, 2024 ^^ The video series is incredible. It reminds us that grand days like that simply don't happen by accident. Quote
Super User WRB Posted May 2, 2024 Super User Posted May 2, 2024 The Sting Ray worms were a tougher salt water plastisol having a larger wider spear tail, good worm. Blueberry color was translucent sky blue back in the 70’s good color nearly forgotten today and should work. Tom PS, caught a Otay lake record back in 1968 using a 7” Blueberry Jelly worm the record lasted 3 days! 1 Quote
