Keeper hand pour worms

[El jefe]

Anybody use these.... I bought a couple packs.... don't remember what I payed for them but it was a a local small shop so probably overpriced. They seem extremely soft.... super nice colors,but I doubt they will hold up to many fish. Is this common with all hand pours? Roboworm is my main worm other than some random packs bought here and there over the years. Is it worth it or save them for really tuff situations?

 No, you need to fish them to see if they work.  If they turn out to be "The Next Big Thing",

go buy some more.

Hand pours should be more expensive than others because of the time and energy it takes a guy to make them plus the fact that he pays more for components than large companies.

Im partial to hand pours although I honestly think its all in my head. Buy a jar of mend-it and fish them until they can be repaired. One of my most productive lures this summer has been a hand poured 10 inch worm cut down to 4 inches. I usually fish them until they dont hold on the hook then glue them back together with mend-it followed by a quick flash with a lighter.

I haven't used that brand, but I'll take a super soft hand pour over an injection molded bait every time...regardless of durability.  My favorite worm in the early '90's was the gene larew 8" hooktail worm.  Around '95, larew went to injection molding for their baits.  My hooktail worm was never the same and I quit using them.
