Does anyone remember the worms with the velco patch near the head? The idea was the rough part of the bass' mouth would stick to it which would help with a better hook set - can't say I ever caught much on those!

It was sometime in the 80's....I think I was maybe 7 years old when I got them - they were in my Christmas stocking, along with some Pee-Wee Herman trading cards

I too had some of these. I caught a few with it, but not something I ever considered buying more of. I may be wrong, but weren't these called a sticky worm, and possibly put out by Culprit?

I have seen or used most of the worst baits ever, The absolute worst baits are, any, and I mean any bait, that good ol Bill Dance puts his name on. If it says Dancin anything ....... RUN AWAY!!!!!!! Cause the fish sure do. If one is dumb enough to hit one , The bait will come apart before you can land it. I had this happen with the Dancin craw. The hook pulled right out.

dmase,
I have to disagree, just a little. I love the Bill Dance Fat Free Shads. I've caught several over 6lbs on them. Now his soft plastics... that may be another thing as I've never tried them.

Anyone ever seen the chuck Woolery (tv show host) moto lure. This thing is crazy. It's a topwater lure that has a motor inside. There is a string that pulls out when you pop it which turns a motor, when the string pulls back inside the tail dances around and makes noise. I had a friend whose mom bought one for him on tv and he used to fish with it. Man we gave him a hard time.

The moto-lure,,,,my wife bought me a couple of the differant types of them and to my dismay, one day at Rough when the hybrids were in the jumps, my daughter started throwing one of them and absolutley tore em up. Wasnt long before I tied one on. The guys fishing around us in other boats were askin what we were throwing and couldnt believe it when we told them.

In todays bait wars, many things come and go. Although a lure may promise exceptional results and vicious blow-ups in their demonstration videos, most are relatively stupid. The flying lure's concept is not. In the new bassmaster, there is an article on reversing the texas rig. Ike talks about using a power noddle with a nail in the bottom of it instead of a conventional bullet weight. This does catch fish. I rig centipedes, trick worms and even craws like this. This is a exceptional presentation when fishing heavy cover in lakes that get pounded by tons of fisherman. It gives the fish a diffrent look and mimicks the REAL action of a backwards swimming crawfish. I have also caught fish on the banjo minnow, (a long time ago) before the fluke became so popular. All in all, the lures may be stupid but there is usually a idea that comes along with it that will catch fish!

If you can get your hands on a new copy of the FLW Outdoors magazine, they have a very good article about Chatterbaits. They show a bunch of different brands and tell you the history. Just look for the article about cranking jigs. Good Luck!

Yes they were the Sticky Worm by Culprit
Would you believe I still have some in a box! lol
They did catch a few but, it never caught on.

I don't remember what is was called, and I never saw one in person, but a couple of years ago I saw an ad for a lure that was supposed to be a dragonfly suspended over the water. I think that has to be number 1, followed closely by the Helicopter Lure
