Big Plastic baits
 
I fish 4 and 6 inch plastics mostly and have never fished a large
sized worm. Ronnie Garrison asked about big worms of 10 inches or
more and so have many others. What size of soft plastic bait do you
use most often and what is the biggest. What colors?

thanks,

gil

I have used every size and color I think they make...love them
plastics:). One of my favorites is something they use to call the "Otay
Special", 12" long, cinnamon color with a black stripe down each
side...looked like a baby snake. It was also in a chocolate color....I
killed the California bass with those things!

I use mostly 4 inch finesse worms. The biggest worm I have ever fished is
probably 7 inches. Colors vary with the conditions I encounter with green
pumpkin or watermelon being the most popular.

I love worms, which are my favorite soft plastic. I prefer them soft, hand
poured, straight tailed (various styles), and either around 4" or 8" long.
Colors vary, depending on conditions.

Action tails--7" Power Worm
Finesse--4 and 5"
Tubes--3 1/2 and 4"
Soft sticks--4", sometimes 5"

I tend to use black, pumpkinseed and watermelon, although I think results
would be similar with other colors.

Most often: 8 inch - 10 inches
Biggest: 14 inch
Colors: Red Shad, Grape Shad, Tequila Sunrise, Christmas Tree, and Junebug

Lunker City makes a 14 inh Slug-Go set that I use when hawg hunting.
Expensive and you only get 3 baits and 2 big hooks in the set, but they work
if you are patient enough.

Most often. Either a 7 1/2" Culprit or a Gene Larew Saltcraw.

Biggest. 10" Culprit in either Black Shad or Red Shad. Casts a country mile
on little weight. Helps you to feel the bottom better. Catches dinks just
as well as a little worm. I don't know what it is, you'd think that small
fish would be imtimidated, but their not.

This thread has become very informative.Most of
you mention that " color depends on conditions".
Could you be a little more speific as to what
conditions govern what color you chose? I am trying
to use your experinses to decrease my learning curve.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Mike

cinnamon color with a black stripe down each
side.

I should kick my self in the butt"

Yes this is a good color for smaller baits.
Now how about a black with the yellow stripes to look like a
(spelling) Garter Snake. the cinnamon color with a black stripe
down each
side. may look like a rattle stake in the water.

cool!

The new test molds have my company name on them by the guy at the machine shop.
