I am going to try some big worms this summer. I'm sick of cranking ledges, dragging Carolina rigs, and waiting in shakey head bites.

I am a Zoom guy. But I see the Mag 2 and the Ol Monster and I don't notice a lot of difference except you get 9 Ol Monsters and 20 Mag 2's per bag. I think the Monster is all of 1 inch longer at 10.5" where the Mag 2 is 9.5".

Am I missing something here?

The Ol monster is bigger and has a larger profile than the Mag 2.

 

The Mag 2 says its 9 inches but in person it seems more like 7" compared to the Ol Monster IMO

Get the magnum ol monster....

I use the Ol' Monster and the Berkley 10" Power Worm. For some reason I seem to have more luck with the Berkley but this is not to say the Monster doesn't catch fish.

I been using in the past the culprit 12" black shad. There harder to find but www.brannansbass.com/ has all culprit worms.

I also put a worm glass rattle in the head.

Sorry luck is at the casino, it's skill with fishing.

I agree with Jon G. The old monster is considerably larger than the mag2

I like the 10"  Big Bite bait Kriet tail worm . 

I've never fished the Mag 2, but FWIW the 10.5" Ol' Monster in Plum color was our #2 fish producer during our annual vacation on KY Lake last month.

Try both Zoom worms - I believe they do better with a little scent added such as BANG , Kick'nBass , etc. in the bag though to cut the plastic Zoom smell .

I picked up some June Bug Red colored Ol Monsters on my lunch break. I do well on regular June Bug so we'll try that. I'd like to pick up some Red Shad.

I like the 10" Big Bite bait Kriet tail worm .

The Kreit Tail Worms have a MUCH larger profile than even a 10" power worm. Lay them out side by side and you will know what I'm talking about. Also, well priced, and good scent.

I use both and there is a big difference in weight. The Ol Monster is heavier and there are times when I prefer it. Don't ask me when those times are because there's no way I could tell you.

The Ol'Monster worm is my go to worm. Not my go to big worm it's the only size worm I throw besides senkos. My favorite color is black the bags are labeled "limited edition" and are getting harder to find in my area. The magnum Ol'Monster is also a good bait. Red shad is a solid producer along with their redbug color. Don't be intimidated by the size, I've caught plenty of dinks on them. The mag 2 is a lot smaller profile with a different tail also. I highly suggest the Magnum Ultravibe worms too.

I like the 10"  Big Bite bait Kriet tail worm .

Do you fish that in Michigan?

Like others have said, the Ol' Monster is considerably larger than the Mag II despite it only suppose to be an inch longer, it's just a much beefier bait. I love the Plum Apple color.
