Your First Worm Fish

[Mobasser]

What was the first plastic worm that you caught a bass on? Brand, color, and style? Mine was a Creme Scoundrell, 6" solid black, rigged on a ball head jig. What was your first plastic worm?

[Fishin' Fool]

The pre-rigged purple worms. Kelly Striper & K & E worm.

[Smells like fish]

In what seems like a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I would guess it was possibly a pink trick worm rigged weightless 

[MIbassyaker]

I believe it was either a culprit ribbon-tail, or a knockoff.  It was some kind of "natural" brown color.  I was probably 14.

I know for a fact it was a green pumpkin green purple flake 5” Senko, as I have never caught a bass on a plastic worm until then. Sad, but true lol.

Texas Rigged weightless Creme Scoundrel Catalpa (black green stripes).

 

Dad & I were fishing out of a rented wooden boat, I found the worm below the slat floor. Dad showed me how to rig it, I cast it out sat down to eat Vienna sausage & crackers. I noticed a row of pencil rods started laying over & thought what the, when dad said you got a bite. 

 

Reeled in a chunky 2# bass, been hooked on worms ever since!

Catt, it seems like so many of us caught our first worm fish on a Creme worm. Maybe because there wasn't a lot of other choices? Lots of guys like the Zoom Trick worm, but if you lay it side by side with the Creme Scoundrell, they're almost identical.

Mine was the pre-rigged Creme two hook job.

Natural night crawler with the beads and the sweet propeller up front.

I don't know the brand, but it was a clear chartreuse curl tail worm some time around 87'-88'. I was pretty young, but the fish I caught on that worm was actually what got me hooked on fishing.

Same here. Picture it, 1971 I'd just returned from my second tour in Nam and reported to ...............Never mind, it was a long time ago, but I still remember it vividly.

7.5" purple Original Culprit ribbon tail. I haven't thrown a ribbon tail in the last 7 or 8 years.

Black Berkley power worm

[Black Hawk Basser]

When I was twelve, my folks and I went to the Springfield/Branson area and they took me to the BPS headquarters.  They used to have a mug o' baits deal, a plastic travel mug full of plastic baits.  There were some 6" purple worms that looked like a octopus tentacle with a curly tail.  I think that my first worm bass was with that funky purple worm.

[DitchPanda]

Can't be positive but if I had to guess it was a cheap 4inch renegade curl tail in either motor oil or tequila sunrise texas rigged. Wish I could still get them honestly.

[optimator]

Black 6" Producto Lure tournament worm on a Mister Twister keeper hook. First bass I ever caught. It was in 1984, but it still seems like yesterday. I fished that same pond two days ago. 

[ImThatGuy]

Zoom utail worm in watermelon seed.  Simple days of fishing.  One spinning setup, bag of worms, pack of ewgs.  Caught a lot of fish.

 

[Mobasser]

The reason I asked this question is because I always felt that The first plastic worm fish, could be your most important bass.Once you get the hang of plastic worm fishing, you realize how deadly it is.

[Jason.Domingo]

Black/blue Yum Dinger on a texas rig..one of the few texas rig catches in my year of bass fishing.

[rangerjockey]

Purple Fliptail , night fishing with my Dad on Table Rock.

[ChrisD46]

*Mine was a thin 6 inch red soft plastic worm with a small spy bait like propeller + pink plastic bead on the front as well as the rear of the worm with two small exposed hooks front and rear  . This would have been around 1966 (have no idea who made the worm - maybe Manns ? ) ...Some neighborhood old guy just gave me the set up to use that day on a Zebco 33 spin cast out fit . The technique I used was tracing sky cloud  out lines with my rod tip or dancing the rod tip after a dragon fly would land on the rod tip - erratic action I could not duplicate in 100 years as an adult now (lol !) ... My first and only bass that day was a nice 4lb LMB ! ** I might might have caught more bass that day but as soon as I landed that bass I got the shakes real bad and had to immediately run to the porta john to relieve  myself  holding my rear end with both hands  as I ran ! ... That my friends was my introduction to bass fishing !!

My first plastic worm fish as an adult (I have to break this up because I took about 20 years off from fishing) came by way of a drum, at night, hitting an Ol' Monster in green pumpkin magic.

 

I think my first ever was probably a dink largemouth on some kind of ribbontail when I was a kid. No idea as to brand or anything like that.
