FireTails?

[Bass Junkie]

 I was diggin' through my box, and found a bag of Berkley 7" Power Worms in pumpkin/chartreuse tail. I also have a bag of "Rattlesnake" Tournament Series 7.5" worms. Will these work I've always strayed from fire tails, as I think they're not natural, but these are kinda buggin' me So...........Can I fish these in decently clear, pressured waters :-?

Junkie - I fish 2 very clear and heavily fished lakes called Norfork and Bull Shoals in Arkansas. My best luck with these are daytime fished shallow (<15'), tex-rigged Smoke/ Chart tail in feeder creeks when the water starts to clear after a heavy rain. I don't have any luck with any over 8"; 6" seems the best. On overcast days, Blue Glitter/ Pink tail works well.

We were fishing some very clear very pressured waters in NY and one of the three fish we caught was on the pumpkin berkley power worm.

My vote is yes

Firetail worms.

I remember when those were the worms to have.  IIRC, Mr. Twister was one of the first.

firetails are still the worms to have, i've landed everything from bass cats and even pickerel with a firetail..  culprit pumpkinseed firetail best on the market

No,

You will be promptly arrested upon proceding to fish firetails in clear water.

Fire tails & chartreuse tails may not look "natural" but they work. I 'm not an advocate of matching the hatch n 'stuff like that, I say that most times color matters little however there are days/times/places where something as different colored contrast in the same bait does matter.

Some years ago I went fishing to a lake most of us know as San Lorenzo or Xico ( for Xicot éncatl, the name of the town close to the lake ), the real name of the lake is Emilio Portes Gil ( ask anybody about it and nobody will know what you 're talking about, ask anybody about San lorenzo and everybody knows what you are talking about   ). That lake is located near the Gulf of Mexico and when the wind blows from the Gulf it 's almost imposible to fish it, but the lake has a "smaller" lake ( yeah right, "smaller", it 's bigger than my everyday lake ) below it, so when the wind blows hard on the main lake everybody flocks down to the smaller lake. So we were fishing at this smaller lake and it was one of those days I mentioned, as long as your soft plastics had a fire tail you caught fish, the color of the worm didn 't really matter ( caught fish with purple, black & blue worms ) but it just had to have the firetail.

It 's one of those times when having a bottle of Spike It at hand pays off.
