I'm not certain if it's the same story but if so then I believe he suggested
the blue worm because that's what he was making while others did not. Not
only was he a great fishermen, he was also a savy salesman because he knew
his clients well. Kinda like the oldage- "takes one to know one".

Nah. In those days, blue was pretty much a standard worm color. In fact,
that was the color of the very first "non-natural" colored plastic
worm -- the worm that started the idea of colored worms instead of
attempts to mimic a nigh crawler. Seems one of Nick Creme's early
customers was a carpenter who put some loose plastic worms in his
toolbox. A packet of chalk-line chalk opened up and coated everything in
the toolbox rattling around in the back of his pickup. He couldn't bring
himself to throw away perfectly good worms just because they were
covered with blue chalk, but he couldn't bring himself to use them,
either. They layed there long enough for the dye from the chalk to
interact to be absorbed by the vinyl, and when he did finally go to use
them, the color wouldn't wash off with use. But they caught the snot out
of fish, and he shared that bit of info with Nick Creme, who then
started making worms in blue, and soon purple and black, as well as the
original natural night crawler color.
