I just recently bought some manns 8 inch worms in black. has anyone on here used them and have they had any luck. I hear they are awesome though. going to try them out on Saturday. 

I caught my personal best on a cut off Mann’s Jelly worm.! My guess is the worm was around 9-10 inches. Grape color.

WOW I am hoping that this Saturday! you are pretty far from me if not I would have invited you this Saturday. going down along the banks of us27 by the glades

Yeah I’ve never fished that far south- Stick Marsh is the furthest south I’ve fished.

If I went there I would fish what I fish up here- Flukes, senkos, Zoom lizards , trick worms, speed worms, etc. Culprit worms. Might try the ol Mann’s too. Good luck !

thanks dude! I will post a pic here if I catch anything 

I have a couple hundred 8" jelly worms in blueberry . Its a good size for both quantity and quality . I have caught thousands of bass on the six inch size , the 8 inch is a size I just started using the last two years and its worked well .

looking forward to using them. I have one in black 

i've used them and also the Zoom Ol Monsters.  I fish them texas rig and use a light weight...1/8-1/4oz and peg it.  I like the slow slithering fall it creates.  I think it definitely deters some of the smaller fish to bite, but I'm surprised how many 12-14" fish I catch on it.

Good luck!

 

Don't worry about those being 'big worms'....in fact, they're only 2/3 the length of the truly big Mann's worms.

 

Now, I probably wouldn't be throwing 10-12 in worms in January, but, doesn't mean they won't work, too. 

The Jelly Worm is still a solid big fish catcher. 

I like using the 10" Power Worms in the summer time.

A junebug or plum Ol' Monster is pretty money for me in summertime.

I’ve used the 12” jelly worms, small bass eat them too. 

 

The zoom ol monster is is one of my top producers.

If I had a nickel for every bass I landed using a Blackberry Jelly Worm, I could buy Wall Street. My PB was landed using a Jelly Worm.

Another big worm that's gaining popularity is the Mr. Twister mag 12" buzz worm. I'm going to order some before spring.

Those were the only worms we used to buy as kids.  Black and Motor Oil.  I still have several packages of them in the 6 inch size.

I use the OL Monster and Mag 2 worms a lot with good luck. I bought a pack black 8" Big Dead Ringers in black last year. Only got to use them once and caught a SMB on it.

I like throwing a big worm. Sometimes it makes me feel like I’m doing something. I’ve also caught lots of 8”/10” bass on the 10/12” worms. 

I have a pack of the overly large power worms too and every time I muster the willpower to tie one on, I catch something pretty big. However, I think it intimidates smaller fish so the bites are fewer.

No joke . I use to buy them by the hundreds and used them up quickly . They are Dynomite .

Here is another big worm that works. You can fish it weightless & swim it like a snake just make sure you are holding on when you do this.

The 10 inch Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic Bullworm is a beefy bait.

Has plenty of action and is reasonably durable.

(well, it's better than a Senko).

We fish them deep on 3/4 oz size of these ~

Big Bass eat them.

8” black grape jelly worm is my favorite Texas rig worm.

Catches pretty good numbers too. My hook of choice for the big worm is an off set Mustad grip pin in 4/0. Best hook ups with it, and it keeps the bait  on for multiple fish.

  Strike King Rage Tail Anaconda ...... 10"  in red shad. No I don't, but yes I did.   ?   jj

11" Case plastics big momma is another good one - I mostly use straight tail worms.
