Anyone have these in your tackle box?

I had one left in my box from a long time ago and last year gave it a shot for S&G's. It looks cheap, figured I might grab a cat or sunfish off it. To my surprise Bass hit the crap out of it. I quickly went through all I had (the unfortunate part, they do not live long when you start getting 5#'s or larger hitting them).

I got a few more online and have been using them on and off this year. bass beat the heck out of them. They got real good action underwater. I use the black and white ones, the way they move in the water the contrast seems to trigger strikes (least that is what I tell myself). I have caught the biggest Bass of my life on one of them.

Anyone else use these? I would be especially interested in anyone who uses something like them that maybe works as good but can survive more than a couple good hits.

Are you refering to the kelly's plow jockey pre-rigged worm ?

These look really similar to the old CREME pre rigged worms.  they still produce these and you can find them at BPS among other places.  In past, I have purchased these with two and three hooks.  Man, I used to KILL bass with these when I was a kid.

yeah that is them. I think the old ones I had were left over from a while back. I was having a slow day one day and figured, what the heck.

I just cannot believe how active the bite here is with them. In a lot of cases you do not even have to do anything. Just cast 'em out in a good cove and they'll be nailed before they hit the bottom.

The only thing I don't like is that they don't last more than a couple hits before they are all torn up. They just have some good action to them when you walk them in too.

    They have something to that in Wal-Mart.

I grew up fishing wild grape Kelley's plowjockeys. Yes, they do catch big and small, but too much line twist (even with a sampo b/b swivel) for me. Great artificial for someone new to fishing....

doh...I think i just got served!  ;D Seriously though, they work, and work well. At least on Wylie. One of many types of ammo I got. One thing they are good for, when you are out on a long day, and get to a point where you want to just kick back for a bit and throw something out not really caring what type of fish you get, they are good. I can pull in just about any species in Lake Wylie on these.

They are also good for new water. I can throw these and cover some new water weedless, easily and determine what species are in there. If they got some bass, I can pull out whatever to zero in on them more.

But then, the way I am, I would use a pink pole and tie on a barbie doll holding a rubber worm if it will get me Bass (I have 4 girls so the thought of finding good use for all the barbies is enticing).
