Desperate-maybe, but it seems like it would be worth a shot early in the year as bass kill this bait in early spring. Has anyone tried this method using larher plastics and larger hooks with any success?

If it is made from Plastisol, I have tried it at least once. I prefer the Sluggo style lures just because they are easier to retrieve, and have a similar action if one wishes.

Might be a good idea. I have seen the worm to do it with, it's at least 12" long and as big around as a quarter. Ye-olde tackle in north webster has them. I will remember the name of them the next time I am in there.

I just got some magnum "stick-o's" with that same thought a few weeks ago. BPS has 7-1/8"ers that look to have some promise. I think they might be good as a throw-back or while sight fishing. I'll post if it works...or will I?

Todd if you find out the name let me know if you don't mind. Musky Treats, I was thinking of rigging it as a throwback bait. Can't hurt to show them omething a little different right? Wouldn't the storm swim baits look cool worked wacky worm style as a jerkbait/ :-)I think I have too much time on my hands.

I haven't but my son has.  Last summer.  Two strikes, nothing in the boat, using the poor boys "worms" from Ye Olde Box in Webster.  One hit shredded the end of the worm, and the other straightened the snap before shaking loose of the worm.  No action over the weekend on webster.
