I used to fish Manns Augertail works when I was younger, and always caught good bass on them.

I finally depleted my stock, and am having trouble getting my hands on some. The Manns website has them but only in a couple colors.

Any TFF'ers know SA site I can find them at??

I want to try this great bait on a shakeyhead...I used to only fish them t-rig or wacky...but this bait has so much more potential if only I could get my hands on some!

Caught a lot of bass on them 25 years ago.

Here ya go

When it comes to soft plastics, there are few baits that caught fish in days gone by that won�t catch fish now. The deal is that folks have a tendency to fish the newest, and �hottest� lures, and baits. Bait companies are always developing new baits hoping that one will become �hot� and boost sales.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s I caught a lot of bass on Mann�s Swimming Tail grub. I�m sure that if they still made this bait I could catch fish on them today. The same is true for my beloved Mann�s six inch worms in Mint, and Marmalade.

I agree. My thought on the topic of using the old style baits is that most of the fish you are catching now weren't even alive 5-6 yrs ago. Some of the bigger fish might be but the majority of those 4 lb and less bass sure weren't. So, in essence, in the eyes of the bass, those old baits are actually new baits.
