Anyone remember Mann's Jelly worms?  

 

Anyone that was a serious bass fisherman back in the 70's and 80's would remember the Jelly Worm.

 

I still use the Producto Lures Tournament worm in purple.

Productos are great worms.  I still have a couple hundred of them.  Back in the early seventies my bass club members all liked Pace worms.  I think they came from Texas?  Pace made some of the first worms with the tail a different color than the body.  Fleck worms did also.  Over the years I must have thrown away two large garbage cans full of worms.  Funny how worms fall in and out favor.  There was a time when bubble gum colored weightless worms were all the rage.  Merthiolate was too.   I don't believe there is a worm color that doesn't catch bass.  Purple is tough to beat.

I have a bag of Berkley Powerbait General stick baits in Ikes Grimace color. Dark purple and lighter purple laminate. I totally forgot I had them or I would have used them wacky rigged yesterday instead of dumb ol green pumpkin!
