Back in the 80's I had a purple worm with a white curly tail. It was a big bass magnet. I haven't been able to find any like it since 1995 Culprit is only manufacturer that still makes a purple white tail. Can’t find a hook tail version. Caught a lot of bass on them. I saw these at BPS earlier today, they aren’t dark purple, they are a bit darker than the picture appears though. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/07/full-35324-103955-8dbb5cb4_77ce_402b_973d_147ad712a459.png) So what did we get at BPS  ?

So what did we get at BPS ? Our BPS has always been very poor on selection of name brands, such as Megabass & most other popular things. I was surprised to see that they are now carrying the big Northstar battery, Megabass 110’s, many colors of jackhammers and a few other items that they never carried. But I really went because of a review I read on BBC about some ceramic cleaner/sprays. I grabbed a few bottles to try out, price wasn’t too bad on it, $14.99. Hopefully it’s works as good as those fellas claimed it does. Amigo, what lure do you miss seeing available?

I saw a purple white tail phenom on Mr. Twister website (didn’t look that dark but might give it a try).

Amigo, what lure do you miss seeing available? Off the top of my head none. Up until four years ago I was a two rod bank beater with no electronics. Top water/square bill and Texas rigged Zoom lizard, serious. I loved chucking and winding. Now I more rods than I care to mention and most of the time all I do now is drag a jig or some form of senko set up, damn internet  .

Hot Lips crank baits. Loved fishing them in timber. They would bump into a stump right into the mouth of a aggravated, hungry Bass.
Caught several 10 plus Bass at Purtis Creek back in the good ol days.

I had a Chart/blue back Mann's baby 1- that I had casted and hit too many rocks with. The back end by the hook was spit and would fill with water so when I paused a retrieve it would rise head first to the surface instead of backing up. Only had one and have never been able to replicate it. Dang I caught a ton of fish on that bait!
See you on the lake and have a great day!
