Super User DitchPanda Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 So I see this name that I've not really noticed before and I'm intrigued. Problem is I can't really tell what color it is exactly cuz online pics rarely do colors justice and I haven't seen it locally. Is this a productive color? What color is it actually? Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 Scuppernong is a species of grape. They can grow to a reddish brown color. There are crawfish that take on that color. I tried it in a Power Team crawfish soft bait. It hasn’t shown to be anything special so far. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 18, 2021 Global Moderator Posted January 18, 2021 It's a solid, but not particularly spectacular color for me. Kind of a reddish/brownish color. I have confidence in it, but I'd rather fish plain green pumpkin or other colors instead. 1 Quote
Revival Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I have it in some Zoom worms. To me it’s like a dark coffee color. I had a friend that would kill it with this color. 3 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 I think the color got its start in the Harry and Charlie cartoons published in Bassmaster . Their favorite lure was was a 12 inch scuppernong jelly worm . I bought some 6 inch jelly worms in that color but they are to stiff and hard to use . I never had jelly worms like that before . Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 I always have some Reins Swampmovers in scuppernong with me. This color, to me, is like nightcrawlers or earthworms....so, fairly natural 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 18, 2021 Global Moderator Posted January 18, 2021 I would tell you about scuppernong, but then I’d have to kill you Quote
Tim Kelly Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 4" Reins bubbling shaker on a dropshot in scuppernog. Rubbish. Not my confidence bait at all. 1 Quote
Super User Spankey Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 Soft baits by Zoom have been around in that pattern since the early ‘80s. Worth having a pack or two of that in a Brush Hogs. Decent working natural type color. Quote
Luke Barnes Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Thats like the color Methyolate. Pics dont seem to do it justice. It looks like a bright red to me. Quote

Super User Team9nine Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 Never been a fan of scuppernong. Reminds me a lot of motor oil in that I was never a fan of that color either. Believe Tom Mann of Mann's Bait (Jelly Worm) gets the credit for first coming out with the color in his worm lineup. I can track it back to him to at least 1974. Merthiolate - you need to be "older" to remember that, along with Mercurochrome. If you had either put on a scrape or cut as a kid back in the 60s or 70s, then you know where the color name came from and why Quote

Super User WRB Posted January 18, 2021 Super User Posted January 18, 2021 I am sure Harry & Carlie used Scuppernong because it’s sounds good. Tom Mann used berry colors to identify his product, smart man. When motor oil became popular he may have used Scuppernong but it was brownish in lieu of greenish red. Other then Harry & Carlie the color never became as popular as motor oil now superseded by green pumpkin. Tom Quote

Tim Kelly Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 More like "Bloke's a proper scuppernong" Sounds pretty bad to me. ? 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 19, 2021 Global Moderator Posted January 19, 2021 Scuppernong and motoroil worms are excellent for bass from here down to the Gulf of Mexico. A lot of folks make scuppernong wine out of the fruit, I always understood it as a champagne colored muscadine, or as we say in TN/NC “musky dimes” Quote

Super User J Francho Posted January 19, 2021 Super User Posted January 19, 2021 I saw them for the first time this past December. Almost bought one, but she who must be obeyed vetoed it, since I rarely drink anymore. I love that the year is on it. 1 Quote
