This is a whopper of a bait :o. Measuring 14" long and .45" wide it weighs in at .8 oz. Even with it's mammoth size, it still has the unbelievable action of the smaller ribbon tails. You will have to see this bait in person to truly appreciate it. Even then, you won't believe what it looks like in the water. The tail on this worm moves effortlessly, with practically no weight.
This worm can easily be fished traditionally, as a swim worm or as a snake on top.
Two Cavity Mold - shoots very easy and flawlessly.

Sweet! That's a real worm!
-
With a base worm diameter of 0.45" & the way the mold looks; It is one serious worm.
Weighing more than 3/4ths of a ounce; casting won't be a problem either.
You release a group of small baits and then along comes this whopper.

I can see it being fished as top water. It should "float" a pretty good sized hook. Gives new meaning to snaking it through weeds or over the slop. A good many fellows on Guntersville fish the big worms as a top water bait over the millfoil.

Looks awesome!! great worm!
-
What size hook are we talking here. 5/0 or bigger?
-
5/0 or 6/0 normally ;D

We've been using a 5/0. A 6/0 would work well also. Welton and I went fishing today and he caught a nice one on it. I'm sure he'll post a pic when he gets a chance. I missed what felt like a monster on it... At first I thought I was hung on a tree until it started pulling back. I would have at least liked to catch a glimpse of what it was. :(

Here is Welton and his fish. The fish was absolutely perfect. Beautiful color, fat, and not a blemish on her. I love seeing healthy fat fish!!!
This chunk put up quite a fight and managed to dig her way in every clump of grass between the boat and herself. It was an awesome display of angling on Welton's part to land her. Great job Welton!!!

:o :o :o OMG that is a huge worm . LMAO I've never fished with a worm quite that big. Do they work well?
-
Honestly, I love it. It has the same action as the smaller ones, it's just bigger. The thing I like so much about a ribbon tail is they are so natural in their movement. They flat out catch fish - regardless of the size.
The only really knock on them is they take up a ton of space in a mold...

Thanks for the picture. It does give a much better idea of just how big the worm is. I can see the East Coast striper guys going nuts over this one.

Man that looks like flippin' (punchin') heaven!!!!!!!!
Nice fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the compliments. I am in love with this worm. You know the feeling you get when throwing a big swim bait? It is kind of like that, except just the opposite. I worked it in like a finesse worm standing on the edge the whole time knowing that if I got a bite, it was not going to be a little peanut.
I have always been the guy that thought the 10" worm was too big and anything over that was just a joke. Well, I am a believer now. Although this bait is big, it looks very natural in the water. Jason has done an awesome job designing this bait. There is nothing out that that even compares. This bait is in a league of its own . You just have to see it to believe it.

I like the wide tail at the base of the worm . Seems like that helps the action and puts out some kind of sound that can turn a leaving bass long enough to get its interest.

IM JEALOUS!!! Another great looking bait and a great fish... :o :o :o
Wish our lakes out here on the west coast had nice grass/lily/weed beds... they blue stone everything and it kills it all off.. >:( >:(
