Steve1357 Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 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. Did you try online? http://www.culpritstore.com/catalog2/ They also have specials from time to time. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted May 7, 2011 Super User Posted May 7, 2011 Man, I haven't thrown them in years. 18 pack for $3.49 @ TW. Can't beat that. Back to the basics. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 7, 2011 Global Moderator Posted May 7, 2011 The fire and ice color used to be one of my favorites back when I fished worms a lot. With the introduction of creature baits and beaver style baits I haven't hardly fished a curly tailed worm in a few years now. After reading this and remembering all the fish I used to catch on them I might have to go pick up a couple packs! Quote
Flangler Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 Watch, you gonna all catch a PB on a Culprit! Oh yea!!!! Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Has anyone tried the "tomato" color? I got a pack but have yet to try it. One of the coolest looking colors I've seen. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 7, 2011 Super User Posted May 7, 2011 Has anyone tried the "tomato" color? I got a pack but have yet to try it. One of the coolest looking colors I've seen. Yep, I´ve tried it, still have a few 6 inch worms in that color, a friend of mine sweared for it, but saying " oh man !" for me, nope not really. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted May 7, 2011 Super User Posted May 7, 2011 Bringing back memories. I haven't thrown a Culprit in years. When I was a kid all I threw were T-rigged Culprits and spinnerbaits from shore. I still have them in my tackle arsenal but now that I have a boat I would rather throw a jig. Quote
Punkinseedfyretailz Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 <----------------notice the worm in my fish's mouth don't ya??????????????????? pumpkinseed firetail all the way..... Quote
Punkinseedfyretailz Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 ok nevermind just noticed i can't see my profile picture anymore, and can't seem to find it on the computer, this is no good. anyways culprit are the best ribbontail period, pumpkinseed firetails are the best color out there Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 when i was kid use to love the fire n ice color culprit worms! Quote
joshholmes Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 for some reason i never seem to have luck with ribbontails on my lake. they've worked for me on other lakes but it seems like the fish at my lake are to used to the common ribbontail. they'll hit spinnerbaits, swimbaits, crankbaits, finesse worms, stickbaits and just about everything else you can think of. ive asked other fisherman and they have had similar experiences to me with ribbontails on the lake.

Avalonjohn44 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I love the Culprit Firetiger color... Unlike the various bold/bright crankbait versions firetiger the soft plastic version culprit makes is a very subtle... Love it in stained water or clear. Other favorite colors are Black Shad, Tequila Shad, Blue Shad, and Green Shad. Oddly, I don't do so well with the Red shad. Dunno. Folks around here swear by that tomato core worm as well, but I've never gotten a single fish on one. Quote
Pepul Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Has somebody used the crawdad color with this worms, i got a pack of these and haven't used them Quote
Super User RoLo Posted May 2, 2012 Super User Posted May 2, 2012 Has somebody used the crawdad color with this worms, i got a pack of these and haven't used them When the culprit worm first became popular I used 'red shad', but eventually migrated to 'black shad'. The last color I used before retiring the culprit worm was 'crawdad', which I found no better or worse than black shad. Roger Quote
WookieeJedi Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I still use primarily the black shad color, but I think I may be giving the red shads a go pretty soon. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted May 2, 2012 Super User Posted May 2, 2012 Black shad Culprit tempted this little guy at Guntersville on the Roadtrip. Ronnie Quote
Dave P Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Red shad, purple shad, black shad. Still use them all! Quote
