Large worms

Looking for a large worm 8-10 inches that floats to put on a Shakey Head.
Other than smash tech. They are apparently super backlogged. Thanks for your help.

This thread has some good suggestions

The Kickerfish Hightail can still be found at a few stores, but Kickerfish closed their doors a couple years ago.

Any recommendations at Academy anybody ?

8" E2 Needle Worm is a good big worm for shakey heads.

We've been using a 10" Mister Twister Hang 10 on Fork and smoking them on Shakey heads.

What color ?

The Hang 10 and the 12 inch mag buzz are great--Clent Davis won the FLW cup using these.

Red bug, Plum, or Cranapple. All 3 will get you bit.

And like Collincountytx said above. Don't forget about the 12" buzz worm by MT as well. Same colors as above.

Why a shakey head rather than just plain ol Texas rig? I throw them but usually lighter line and smaller baits.

Gambler floating worm

Big Peeeeeeeeerrm!!!!!

Agree with big perm. But I can’t find them anywhere

If anyone knows of a sight that has them please let me know. Don’t worry, not close enough to Fork so you guys can give me some good info

I thought Cranapple was the early name for what now is called Red bug. Are they different colors? Plumb was the reddish color plastic with blue glitter in it and Cranapple was the reddish color plastic with green glitter in it, but that was many years ago.

Tacklewarehouse has them or go to their site.

East Tx archery and tackle on Cypress/Sandlin had some about a week ago.

Big Peeeeeeerm!!!

Never heard of it.

Lol. Seriously....

Strike King makes a Magnum Trick Worm and they claim that the tail floats so you might try one of those. I've caught some good fish using them.

Sorry Bud, Thought you were joking. It’s the SmashTec Magnum Crawler

They don't float at all. I tested some out last week in my pool with a 3/4 oz. shaky head with a flat bottom and they still fell over. That was the 10.5 inch straight worm. I wouldn't not buy them just because they do not float. They are have a huge profile and should get you a big bite.

Frank.....never heard of it, but will check it out. Heath makes some good stuff for sure!

As far as big worms and floating, you'd be surprised at how many actually float when fished deep. Not in a fish tank or bath tub.

They are out of almost all colors. Suppose to be sending emails when they have them.

I have a few bags of Kicker Fish Hightail worms.. Mostly dark colors though..

Strike King Bull Worm is the deal

Longest worm I ever used was a custom made 14" worm. I told a worm gjy to surprise me. It weighted almost a pond by itself. It was semi soft, so I used a double hook rig and threw it out. Caught a 3.5 lb bass on it. Go figure. It DID work, though. Only 1 hook in him. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Zoom has plum apple also. I use it for ol monsters instead of redbug. Also, grandebass has a really good trickworm with floating tail.
