hjerk24 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I know this may sound dumb, but I have always wondered how gummy worms/lizards would do on the water. They are a great consistancy, colorful, and would have a melting type attractant. If you put them in a Lunker sauce, and threw them what do you think might happen. I always wanted to, and may try in the Spring. Pretty cheap for the number you get, and who knows...they probably don't see many gummies down there! Any responses would be interesting. Quote
njbasser Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Try it and report back to us. I would buy a few extra bags in case you're tempted. Quote
rfunfarm Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 My grandkids did this in our pond--one caught a 22" largie on them--They seem to work as bait due to the multi-colors in them. As I have a worm bed for the kids to use, I told them to eat the gummy worms & use real worms. Skylor still sneaks one for bait when I'm not looking. :D Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 Cool post. Tried it when I was a kid. Had trouble keeping it on the hook and keeping it straight. It gets very slimy and slippery when wet.I did however catch a bass on it,once,twitching it across some green pond scum.That fish would have struck anything though since it can't actually see what the bait is just smacking the commotion.

hjerk24 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 I don't know why I have been fascinated with this, but loved them as a kid, and still do. Could be a cool trailer too???? Those guys down South should give it a try and report back....pics with a Bass taken on a gummy worm will receive a free Bag from PA. Post the pic here, and I will send a delicious treat your way. Dumb I know, but would love to see what happens for those who can get out now. I won't be able to post back for a few months. Quote

Super User Sam Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 I can't think of any reasons not to use a Gummy Worm for bait. The bass have no idea what they are and have never seen them before. If they work maybe a manufacturer will start producing them in plastic with the same profile and colors. And you would want to have them wet and slick so they can move easily without any annoying dry friction....as you fish them. ;D ;D ;D Quote
hjerk24 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 When one rips....you could just eat it!...GREEN bait...Evironmentally safe..and consumable. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 Now I am curious again.Might toss one on a carolina rig and see what happens.Worst case I might not catch anything eh? Quote
hjerk24 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Remember...a pic with a bass that fell to a Gummy Bait...will receive a free pack...large...of Gummies from Boyertown, Pa. May just be the edge we need in those tournies????? ;D Quote
Steven Ladner Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I'll try it this Saturday in a local pond that is full of small bass. Who knows, it just might work. 8-) Quote
hjerk24 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 There will be a prize in it for you!!!! Post a sweet pic! Quote
hjerk24 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 What are you talking about????? That doesn't even make sense! Quote
