Is Wackm worm body totally round or flat on one side?
Jim
The injection version is .4" x .375" (round with a taper to the tail). The tail is 1.75" x .75".
The OP version is flat on one side and shares the same dimensions but is bulkier because it is not round.
Both are 2 cavity.
I called around and everyone who has seen them or fished them likes them, but they don't have a lot of on the water exposure (it's a Summer bait and we came out with them very late Summer / early Fall).
The piece of feedback I got that was different than yours was the tail action on the retrieve. The key action that was explained to me was it rising off the bottom, or an erratic fall around ledges. This made sense to me with a bait so long, a strike on the retrieve would be at the tail and would result in a short strike and you getting half a worm back. I think this technique is also covered in the FLW mag (one of the Fall issues).
My gut would be the OP in a good floating plastic. With custom colors and design it should be different enough to not be price compared to the mass produced baits. With that said, I would try and get the baits in front of whomever is buying them and let them make the call.
