Super User ATA Posted July 4, 2020 Super User Posted July 4, 2020 Hi, I fall in giant worm for summer fishing, I have seen so many recommendation for them but they are always out of stock in TW which I buy my tackle always, and I cant find them on amazon. I am talking 12" Plus worms that you can recommend and works for you and you know where to find them. Mann's Jelly Worm is only is available in TW and it is good but skinny which is working in some application, but non of bulky 12" is available anywhere. in last couple months I start worm fishing again, T rig and drop shot(power shot as well) and wacky and I am enjoying that. 1 Quote

Todd2 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I need to get back to throwing those bigger worms. I've been doing decent with 7in ribbontails recently, but I've had some good success in the past on the bigger ones. There's just not enough hours in a day on the water. 1 Quote

papajoe222 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 The longest worm I throw is a Mann's. I prefer a Mag Ol Monster or a C-Mac from Net Bait which is only 11.5in. but thicker. I've also reduced my collection to two basic colors; green pumpkin and plum. The C-Mac is only available in two colors and I use both. Cabela's currently has the Magnum Ol Monster on sale. At just over $4 a pack, you can get three for what two packs normally cost. 1 Quote

Thank You so much, I am done in order, even they don't have much color choice, but I used the sale and I got so many more items, they need to give you some gift for sending me there, haha Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 4, 2020 Global Moderator Posted July 4, 2020 I bought them from a custom maker in Arizona many years ago, believe they were called "The Bullwhip". I just use them on a T-rig and yes fish do eat them. I get a lot of tail pulls but when the right fish comes along they have no problem eating them. 1 Quote
Super User ATA Posted July 4, 2020 Author Super User Posted July 4, 2020 Got that, for a second I thought you have them for sale. I think im going to make some mold myself and try something, ill keep you guys updated. thanks again for helping those 15". Quote

I spoke with Josh on Wednesday (7/1) to see how he was doing. In mid-May, he had a small electrical fire in his shop that stopped bait production for a bit. He is up and running again. However, he isn't taking any direct orders per his message. That's probably why the Upton's Custom website is offline. He said no ETA on a TW restock. The last line of plastics he poured went out to Last Chance Tackle and East County. Most were sold out within a few hours of being added to the LCT website. I like the 13" and 16" Upton's worms as the softer, custom pour plastic has more subtle action, but the Mann's Jelly Worm is also a fish catcher. An alternate source to TW for Mann's would be either BassPro or order direct from Mann's. I've also used the Gambler ER16 Worm. It's not cheap, $4.99 for a pair of them. Its a big, heavy body worm though. It doesn't need much weight (I'll fish it weightless or with 1/8oz depending on wind and current) to get it to bottom because of its design and weight. It will catch a more fish than a Mann's as the plastic is more durable. TW is out of stock at the moment, but you can order direct from Gambler. They make their baits out of their shop in South Florida, so they are restocking dealers as fast as they can make baits. 1 1 Quote
