I am already a buyer! Big worms are for BIG FISH!!!!

Now to figure out the bag situation. Never entered my mind but I can't find BIG bags...

Hi Jim,

We just happen to sell 10" bags  :D.

They are the same quality as the 7" and 8" bags.

12" worms will bend in a 10" bag.... If it was a curl tail, I would be alright but these straight worms will not fit. I already measured my existing 10" bags.....  :'(

Nothing like getting your big worm out of the bag and having it bent, spins when you try to fish it.. Been there and cussed it!!!!!  ;D

It's snug.  Here is the worm in the bag.  I'll leave it in for a few days and see how it looks.

How does it fit angled? Like front of worm in top left corner and tail in lower right? Might be able to squeeze them in that way OK....

It gives it a little more room but it wants to move down in the bag.  It ideally could use an extra half inch, but I think for most this will work.  I don't think it will tweak the baits - we'll just have to let it sit longer with more baits in there to see.

Probably only 3-4 worms going in the bags anyway but that will crowd it up.....

Think hard because Johnson told me anything over 10" is a custom run and you have to buy at least 15,000.

I have seen long baits packaged in small tubes before as well.

I got a quote from Doreen on 12.5" bags.  If there is enough interest I will get them.  We would sell them by the hundred - we would probably need to get around $25 per hundred (.25 cents) a bag.  Let me know if you are interested and if we can at least find a home for the first thousand I will get them.  Because of their size they would need to ship separate, probably $5.

Just respond to this or PM me.  Please don't say you want them and then not buy them....

Thanks,

Jason

Put me down for an initial 200-300 if you get some.

The 12" worm is getting a lot of interest. Good thing is, you could package your 10" worms in this bag also and for go having a 10" bag all together..
