papajoe222 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I haven’t heard, or seen, any discussion about them in quite a while. Truth be told, they’ve taken a back seat to another (hard) bait. Before I bought into the ‘Whopper Plopper Craze,’ it was my go to for a subtle top water presentation although I still occasionally use it in and around emergent weeds. The main reason I bring it up now is to enlighten some of those that are rather new to the sport of its attributes. Aside from its seedless abilities, it can be paused after a surface blow-up and allowed to sink mimicking a stunned whatever the bass thought it was when it was on the surface. Looking for a worm with a lot of tight wiggling action for pre-spawn? Split shot, or C-Rig one. Versatility is a mark of a good angler.l Like so many soft plastics, this one affords you the opportunity. 2 Quote
riverbasser Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 There's still one on my rod most of the time, although I don't use it much on top. Most of the guys in my local tournaments still using them quite a bit as well, no denying they work Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I have not caught anything on them, but that is basically do to lack of time with them. I think they look great and should do very well! Thanks for the reminder, I have a couple of packs of them hiding in my tackle boxes. Wdy Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 15, 2018 Super User Posted January 15, 2018 I have two bags of them, but I haven't used them in about 2 or 3 years. In the past they have worked quite well. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 15, 2018 Super User Posted January 15, 2018 I've never used one . I dont even know what it is . I'll have to look it up . Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted January 15, 2018 Global Moderator Posted January 15, 2018 Love those things! Can't remember the last time I didn't throw one in a tournament. I mostly use the magnum tho and rarely use the standard size. They are killers down here on top, on a Carolina rig, or just skimming above submerged grass and especially hydrilla with a 3/16 pegged bullet weight. The uv speed craw is also a good little top water plastic in smaller backwaters and creeks. Effective little t rig or punch bait too. Mike 1 Quote
38 Super Fan Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Great versatile worms. I usually just swim them around vegetation, and they can be very effective! Quote
