This is one of very few baits that my ole man has thrown his entire life. When nobody else catches fish dad always will with this worm.

Not that they won't catch fish now, because they will. But, the main reason they were so good 20-30 years ago is that many of our lakes had lots of Oak trees in them when they filled. This caused the water to be Tannic Acid (Coffee Colored Clear) water. That made this particular combination deadly.

This is one of very few baits that my ole man has thrown his entire life. When nobody else catches fish dad always will with this worm. +100! my 1st tackle box consisted of a handful of rusty true turn hooks, a couple worm weights and a bunch of fire tail worms, which were all "borrowed" from my pops!!!!
