Who still uses old style plastic worms?

[Muddy]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Unless there is a full cup of it in a single worm, Glitter can't stiffen a worm. Speckles can't stiffen a worm. And scent can't stiffen a worm. No way.

Imagine, "my worm had a fleck of glitter right at the bend, so it didn't................. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!       :

b       The salt or the plastic are the only real variables to consider. Yammies are 'soft plastic' with large 'hunks' of salt, and most other baits are 'medium plastic' with a softener and smaller grains of salt so that more plastic "adheres" to more plastic. (thus avoiding the 'cracking' ; like a senko)

my .08       ;D

............and yammies have all the above characterists that you say make a worm 'stiff'. sorry, i have to type it one last time........No way.            

HOW UNSCIENTIFIC OF YOU!

Oh Your actually in the business<my mistake :

I use old style worms a lot. They might work better than they ever did because the fish don't see them much now.

I think thats the key something different will work lots of times. I really like the fact that I have a lot of old eastern style stuff in the midwest. AC SHiners, Poes ect. You don't see those as much in Missouri and Kansas. I guess cause Bass Pro doesn't sell them. Anyway they seem to work and I think it's because the fish don't see them as much.

Creme's worms still work well, especially when finesse fished with a small hook and a light weight. Great darting action.

[loomis spookwalker]

I use them only in back of tributaries/creeks where there are small water moccasins.  Anywhere else it is rather unnatural.

I suppose that he thinks the lure must be realistic in order to catch fish, something you and me know it 's not true.  

[rebar]

Yes, hundreds of dollars worth of tackle and I can still catch lots of bass on Berkeley Power worms, blue fleck or electric grape are my favorite colors. It's good to have something you can depend on! lp

[Seabolt]

Never.

I like very soft, soft plastics, lots of salt and scented or not, I still add scent!

2ND that....lovin the chompers stick baits and really anything they are making right now.  It makes me sick to smell them but they are nice.

[ThomasL]

I just purchased a large lot of plastics because i only wanted the rebel ringworms,strike king diamond worms and knight tube worms,i have grouped the rest with photo and posted it on our sell board,hope someone is looking for these.

[Hytekrednek]

I still use 8'' Creme Scoundrel worms nearly every trip. I use the 8'' also for floating worm duty as well as Texas rigs. I do use the 6'' and the 4'' versions too occasionally, but the 8 is by far my most used size. I love the 9'' Jelly worms too, but sadly they are extinct and can only be found on ebay for crazy money. Please, someone start remaking the jelly worms!

[WRB]

R.I. 8.25” Fat Flirt worm is a good replacement for 8” Jelly Worm

If Zoom Ole Monster, and Zoom Trick worms, are considered old school, then yes.  If they are not old school, than I guess neither am I.

[MyKeyBe]

Even a worm that was brand new when this thread was started is old school now. 😆 

[PondProwler9000]

OG 7.5 Culprits for sure. Surprised nobody has mentioned Renegades. Grew up in the 90's in a small town, Wal-Mart was all we had.

[wdp]

Zoom Ole Monsters & Mag II’s

[WRB]

Hand pours are old school and still use Uptons Customs 9” straight tailors.

[Glenn]

Yep

 

 

[MichaelN]

Yes. Still have some Mann's, some The Tube Worm's and Creme's pre-rigged from 40+ years ago (my grandfather's before he died).

 

Creme are still making these.
