Flangler Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Had a great day fishing yesterday. Went to the basic 7" black Culprit worm. I fished it T-rig with a bullet weight. Pitching it softly under a bridge on a canal..Man they were just loading up on these worms. Honestly there is nothing better than catching a fish on a plastic worm. Such a basic rig! Quote

Doesn't hurt that Culprit is the absolute best(non senko type)plastic worm there is. Culprit ribbon tails and Zoom trick/finesse are the only(non senko type)worms I carry. I have caught more bass on a Texas rigged Culprit worm than all other baits combined. Ronnie Quote
SausageFingers Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 The Culprit worms are one of my favorite, specifically the Red Shad color. Quote
Flangler Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 I always carry Red Shad, Junebug, and black. They are my favorite. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 Culprit is one of the standards for worm fishing. Quote
backwater4 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 They used to make a 4" finesse worm that was great. They dicontinued it I guess. Haven't been able to find them in a long time. They also had a color called chocolate mint that worked real well. It was a blue brown mix. Quote

Flangler Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Black shad is the ultimate producer for me. Try it! Ronnie I will! I've also like Motor oil. It's hard to find in stores, the bass love them out here! Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 Texas rigged 7.5 inch Culprit ribbontail worm is the trademark of us older than dirt southern boyz. Black Shad, Red Shad, Tequila Shad & Motor oil/chartreuse tail. Quote
guitarkid Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Red shad culprit worms were the first ribbon tail I ever caught a fish on. -gk Quote
Flangler Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Red shad culprit worms were the first ribbon tail I ever caught a fish on. -gk Yea me too! They're just a go to bait if nothing else is working! Quote
chromedog Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 They are the only ribbon tails I carry. I love black shad, red shad and pumpkin in the 6". Quote
Super User grimlin Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 Great ribbon tail worms. If I can't find culprit Berkley powerbait worms are my second choice. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 The first bass I ever took on a plastic worm fell for a Crème Scoundrel, but the "most" bass by far were taken with the Original Culprit Worm. That was circa 60s and 70s, but since that time I’ve used other ribbon-tail worms that I like as much or more. Needless to say, if a Culprit worm were still tied to the end of my line, no other worm would get the chance to show its stuff. To my mind, the Original Culprit Worm simply underscores the superiority of the plastic worm per se I don't think bass ever met a plastic worm that they didn't like. Roger Quote
JaxBasser Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Red Shad Culrpit worms are basically the only thing my grandfather used to fish, and he taught me how to fish. I'll never forget how happy I was as a kid when he handed my my first spinning setup, some Red Shad Culprits, and some worm hooks. Quote
Flangler Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 I can't wait to teach my son how to fish! I have a few more years, he is only 1! But, he can watch for now! Quote
JoePhish Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I think every local down here in Florida owns a pack of Red Shad. Personally my favorites besides Red Shad are Okee Gold, Crawdad and Moccasin. I'll use them as a trailer on a jig from time to time as well as rigged Texas. Also, if you want to dye another bait red there is nothing better than sticking it in a bag of Red Shad with all the "red juice" in it. Quote

I see you live in Palm Beach Gardens.....you do alot of bank fishing? Quote

FL_Sharpshooter Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 The 10" red shad culprits are what keeps you from getting skunked in the canals around here. I'm really surprised no one mentioned Fire & Ice 7.5" worms, those are also very very deadly. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 Fire & Ice 7.5" worms, those are also very very deadly. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Flangler Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah, I don't own a boat... ...yet. Yea me either...well actually, I have a 14ft jon boat with a trolling motor. WE should meet up sometime and do some fishing, what do ya say? Quote
