Eddie Munster Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 My brothers and I used to tear up the bass in Pennsylvania years ago with Producto Grape 8" worms and last year I ordered some. Here in Georgia I haven't gotten one bite on them. Quote
BenoBreath Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Anyone use these??? Like Eddie stated, I also did good with them years ago. (My first bag of worms I ever bought was the 6" Tournament Worm, in the black grape color.) Last week I fished the 4" tournament(tequila sunrise/green fleck) on a 1/8oz ballhead jig. Caught a couple of small bass, nothing major. That could be a killer combo for smallies, if they're as far north as you are. You should check 'em out ! GOOD LUCK !! Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I use the 10' often. Grape. The bass don't let go of 'em, probably due to how soft they are. Quote
optimator Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Tournament worms are one of my favorites. I've used them for over 20 years now. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted June 12, 2009 Super User Posted June 12, 2009 The 6" black-grape Tournament worms were a staple in my arsenal for LMs, for many years, before I started to focus more on SMs. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 13, 2009 Super User Posted June 13, 2009 I sometimes wonder if I'm not Producto's biggest fan. They don't get much mention here and I don't see there stuff in many tackle stores. I love their plastics and use a lot of their stuff. Their 4" Tournament Worms are my best producing "finesse" worms and their 4" Spring Worm is the BEST ring worm I've ever used. I use their craws on my jigs a LOT. Their new Buzztail Shad is a killer (it's one I don't tell many about). They have excellent worms in many varieties and a color selection that will satisfy anyone. The Tournament Grub is a excellent alternative to tubes. I love the texture of their plastics, nice and soft. Maybe not the most hardy, but I don't care about that, I'd rather have them soft. Producto flat rocks!! Producto accounts for a LOT of the fish I've caught since around 1992. They also have some awesome tackle bags! Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 13, 2009 Super User Posted June 13, 2009 I'm a fan of the Buzztail Shads too. Excellent grass presentation on the tidal Potomac. Not very new, I've been using them since 2004. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 14, 2009 Super User Posted June 14, 2009 I guess by new I meant it's probably one of their newest lures out. Yeah, it's been out awhile now I guess and bass love 'em. I didn't try them though until 2006. They cast real nice too. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted June 14, 2009 Super User Posted June 14, 2009 LOL there is a guy that lives in the swamp on the end of my home lake that is on Productos pro-staff, we know each other, and every time he see's me on the water he is trying to hock producto this-producto that on me, he just gave me some free samples a week ago and I have to say I like the looks of the buzztail shad, too bad this "guy" is there staffer or I might order some.

Let's put principles before personalities. In other words carrying this a bit further, If you were dying of thirst and the benefactor of the water rubbed you the wrong way, you'd pass on the water?. Been there done that. i cut off my nose to spite my face so many times that it's a wonder I have a nose at all. LOL. The Buzztail Shad are good baits, don't deprive yourself. Off my soapbox and wishing ya tight lines & heavy fish Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 well its settled. im getting a bag or two of buzztails. Quote
sirbuffington Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Great customer service too. I'm trying out some tournament ripples tomorrow. Quote
Super User CWB Posted June 16, 2009 Super User Posted June 16, 2009 6" Tournament Worm is a staple and the paddle tail design has been copied by just about every other manufacturer. Either that or they copied everyone else. They've been around forever. Quote
river-rat Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I have been using the 6" and 8" Tournament Worm for more years than I care to remember. It's usually the worm I start with from post-spawn to late fall. Because I fish mostly in south Louisiana where 6" of visibility is considered slightly stained, I stick with the basic colors listed below. Junebug Black Grape Red Shad Blue Purple Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 19, 2009 Super User Posted June 19, 2009 The T-6 has a nice bulk to it. It is a great flippin' worm too and my absolute fave for fishing reeds (where ribbons can be a problem). Defintely a good choice for dark water! Quote
Under the Radar Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I hate to beat a dead horse, but this statement makes ZERO sense. b Naw Brent, it makes perfect sense to me, They are extremely soft, and the fish do seem to not want to let go. They aren't very durable, lasting at the very most 2 or 3 fish usually only 1 for me. I've fished them in the shallow grass (< 1 foot) the last couple of evenings, and caught fish when I couldn't get a solid bite on anything else that had been working for the last week. Like I said they tear up really easy tho. Can't say as I've had too much luck with them in open water yet, maybe my timing is off. Tight Lines The Buzztail shad makes for a nice topwater bite that we all love. Quote
