Super User roadwarrior Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 I just started fishing this big bait a few weeks ago. When they become available, all Big Bass Boys need to pick up a few bags. This is a soft plastic that will never produce numbers, it's intimidating! For those focused on big fish, this is going to be one of your "go to" baits. I have only caught ten bass fishing the Anacoda for a total of around six hours, but only one was a "tournament bass", the rest were nice fish! 8-) Quote
Big-O Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Nice to hear they're workin for you RW. When Shaw Grigsby and I did the show on them, we caught all sizes of fish from 12" to 25" and all came on the 10" model. The 7" model is very appealing as well and actually appears slightly larger with the action.... Which color Anaconda are you fishing? Big O Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 11, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 11, 2008 Green Pumpkin with black flakes. I'm not saying small bass won't attack big baits, but there is an advantage of getting past the little guys, sometimes. BTW, I will post something on the 7" when I run out of the 10" Anaconda. I have not fished the smaller version, yet. 8-) Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Will it fish on top if you rig it weightless? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 11, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 11, 2008 Will it fish on top if you rig it weightless? No, not unless it's supported by lilly pads or thick moss. The Anaconda is a monster! 8-) Quote
Chad. Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Do you fish it like a 10 inch Berkeley power worm hop, hop drag? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 11, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 11, 2008 Lift and drop with extended pauses. Initially, the 10" Anaconda makes a big splash which might attract some attention, so I let it sit on the bottom for at least 30 seconds, maybe a minute. After taking up slack, I raise the rod slowly from water level to about 10 o'clock, then let the bait fall on slack line. I then take up slack and raise the rod from water level to 1 o'clock, then fall on slack line. After these two movements, I let it sit for a minute or so, then repeat. Like any other worms or soft plastics, working the bait is only limited by your imagination! 8-) Quote
HopelesslyAddicted Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I have seen the videos. I have heard Roadwarriors praise. Theres no doubt in my mind that I'm gonna catch some big bass with these things the action is just too sexy! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Those are some sweet lookin worms. If I can find some local I'll give'em a shot. Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 11, 2008 Super User Posted August 11, 2008 Yea if I could only find some place to get some before Friday night Quote
rondef Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 The anacondas are some sweet worms, I had a tournament friend give me a couple to try. I haven't caught any bass with them yet but when I do I know it will be a good size bass. Quote
Brian_Reeves Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 The 7" is a go to when I am just fishing. The 10 inch is one of my favorite big bass baits. It has gotten to the point to where I won't target larger fish unless I have big Anacondas and Lobsters. The Lobsters are a sight to behold as well. Quote

I want to get my hands on some Plums Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 12, 2008 Author Super User Posted August 12, 2008 Nope, not available yet, but should be soon! 8-) Quote
avid Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Lift and drop with extended pauses Hmmmmm. by the looks of it one would think of it as more a swimming type worm. Have you tried a bullet sinker and a steady retrieve with it? Quote

Have you tried a bullet sinker and a steady retrieve with it? No, I haven't tried anything else unless you count the relatively short retrieve when I feel I'm "out of the zone". I'm sure other techniques would work, but I fish most soft plastics slow and on the bottom. Grubs and Kreatures are about the only exceptions. 8-) Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 12, 2008 Super User Posted August 12, 2008 With all this talk & videos when will we be able to buy them? I go to the web site & nothing; It's getting to point I tired of hearing about something that you can't buy. Quote
tyrius. Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 With all this talk & videos when will we be able to buy them? I go to the web site & nothing; It's getting to point I tired of hearing about something that you can't buy. X2. We've got to wait until October too!! Which means I probably won't be able to fish them much at all until next year!! That leaves a lot of time for a lot of talk and no results. Sure wish they would have been available much closer to their "release" at iCast. Quote
BassBandit35 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I know. RW just like to rub it in our face. That's all. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted August 12, 2008 Super User Posted August 12, 2008 boy i hate to pay a dollar per worm, but i think i just might have to with these bad boys. they are just too tempting!!!!! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted August 12, 2008 Super User Posted August 12, 2008 With all this talk & videos when will we be able to buy them? I go to the web site & nothing; It's getting to point I tired of hearing about something that you can't buy. I hear ya man. The only thing is you can fish year 'round where you are. I am gonna be waiting until March :-[ Quote
JShrock07 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Rondef gave me one of the 10" Anacondas to try out today on a private lake and all I can say is.... WOW!!!!! I caugh almost all of my fish on this bait. I only had one to use but it lasted me through about 7-10 nice bass. Only one of the bass went over 2 lbs. But I cannot wait until they come out. Great product!!!!! Quote
DaveHawkins Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 You guys are teasing us...and we don't like it...I mean were jealous...I mean we can't wait to get them...I mean when in the heck are they going to be able to be purchased again???? Quote
FishingBuds Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Heck I'll ask Surley we BR members can have access to them now, come on RW pull some strings : Quote
Super User Micro Posted August 13, 2008 Super User Posted August 13, 2008 I'm going to save some of my 10 inchers until fall. I'm betting it will be a killer striper bait, too. Quote
