    We've all heard of berkley powerbait. We've all heard of baby brush hogs. Put those two together and you get a banned soft plastic (in tournaments) known as the power hawg. I've got somewhere around 5

  • Great worm. I've found that when I get a bite with a rattlesnake, they RARELY spit it out. Also, you can smell a boat with an open pack of Grande Bass baits from half a mile away....STRONG smell, ha

Another good one

I was on a 2-day local tournament on a lake and the only color they were hitting was orange. The ONLY thing in my tacklebox that had orange in it was some 4" hollow tube baits. I've never been a fan of tube baits (even though I know they really work well) and I didn't have any hooks designed for tubes. So.....

I took a pair of scissors and cut off the skirt, about 1/4" above where the skirt starts. I then took out a french fry-style worm, which was the Zoom Centipede.

I slipped the skirt on to the centipede and slipped it about half way up the centipede. I rigged the centipede Texas-rigged, with no weight, and barely put the hook through the skirt, so the skirt would stay in place.

I immediately started catching bass and caught 2 keepers, each tournament day.

On the fall, the skirt flails out, much like an octopus moves.

I traveled a lot for work I'd spend weeks at a time hear there ect so I couldn't carry much tackle with me. Packing skirts let me cut out jigs and I've never gone back. BTW a mini butane soldering iron work wonders not only can you add a skirt but you can mend a worm.

Ok so today i bought some Palm Trees at a trip to bass pro, do they make diffrent sizes? I got some small ones (the only ones they had) in junebug and white with a chartreuse tail. Ill try them out after i work 6-1 tomorrow

If you have a discontinued plastic you really love save one and make a plaster of Paris mold. It's simple and you will always have the option to make as many as you need.

Ika has different sizes but have only seen one size Palm Tree. These things cast great even into the wind.

Ok, since nobody has mentioned them yet, I'll chime in:

1. Super Doos

2. Chicken Foot worms

3. MadMan craw rigged on a Starburst jig.

and.... I still use Slug-gos with success.
