A family friend of ours are the Kelly family. They make several varities of annealed worms.

 

I have used them in the past, since they gave me a bunch for free, and had some good luck fishing them as one would fish a texas rig. I have particularly good success with them in the retention pond behind my aunt's house. They seem to love the purple with red stripe version. My wife seems to be really good at fishing them too because she's so patient. We've both caught a few in the 4lb range on them.

 

Anyone else ever use them?

I haven't used an annealed worm in years... Thanks for reminding me, will put it on the list for this year to try out.

Where I come from we have more of the Ike Con worms than anything else. I havent used them in years though. My buddy buys them just for the scent.
