The first time I heard something like that was when Tom Mann said "Any
worm color will work as long as it is black" back in the 1970s. That was
during the height of his Jelly Worm craze. He knew he was making those
flavors and colors to catch fishermen, not just fish.

Heh heh...not to nick-pick...but I think it was "Any worm color
will work as long as it is blue."

My favorite Mann's worm was a 6" Mann's Jelly worm in
"blackberry." My 2nd favorite was a 6" grape. My 3rd favorite was a
7" blueberry worm which was the worm that I was told Mann used a
ton...especially fishing deep brush piles down on Eufaula. I remember
having strawberry, grape, watermelon, motoroil, and all the worms that
had the firetails. I also remember going thru a ton of those flavored
aerosol cans that Mann's used to make. Those aerosol cans were a
heckuva lot easier than making up a batch of anise oil for our
plastic....and smelled a heckuva lot better!
