Years ago I bought my worms at Barlows from a worm bar, where you could pick your own and bag them. could buy 100 packs for $5 here is a link to there hook tail worms but did not see the old Purple fire tail, my favorite was always the purple white tail that is still available.

211 = Purple Firetail.

I used to fish purple firetail creme tube worms in the late eighties and caught a ton of bass on them. Wish I still had some.

I've been looking for a classic Purple Metal Flake Fire Tail for YEARS. Did you have any luck?

Mister twister bannaha sented was the best

Purple Metal Flake Fire Tail was so good it became illeagal in the states. That's why it has been hard to find.

More than the color, I have been looking for a worm bar! I used to love going to those things as a kid and picking out my color of the week!

I used up a lot of the old purple/red firetail jelly worms back in the 70's when I was mostly pond fishing. They were always my favorite but I do not think any of them were curly tailed.

how about a bass assasin grape/fire tail

The search conitinues.

The J-Mac Purple metal flake fire tail turned out to be darker than the original after ordering a few online, picture was misleading(although I'm sure it will be nice)

Lord grant me the wisdom to accept the things I cannot change.

Call Mann's. I've actually ordered baits from them in colors they had discontinued. I think the minimum was 100.

Might work. Can't hurt.

I caught as many or more on purple/white and purple/yellow, but those were Mister Twister Phenoms.

...man, that was long time ago.

I think this is the worm he is talking about.

Galen Gilberth told me in 1990 after I ask him what was the best worm color to use on Falcon was any color would work as long as it was purple with a white tail. He bought them from Toledo tackle by the hundreds when he was a guide on Falcon. That man was a hoot and could cook the best hot wings I ever had.
