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

11"!!!! I remember when I was really new to bass fishing, I'd go into the store and see those 11" bass worms or swim-baits and think, a bass isn't going to to be able to eat that!  Then I caught a 9lb bass, and realized that a big bass could eat a tractor tire if they wanted to.

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.

at bass pro the black color was almost sold out so I picked some up in that color. Looks great in the water

The Jelly Worm is still a solid big fish catcher. 

looking forward to using them! I am going to try this weekend. 

     I'm sure you'll enjoy that Mann 8".

I throw Netbait 11" C-Mac during Summer and it has caught me many small bass I never thought would eat it. Still throw Zoom Ol' Monster 10.5" as backup. Junebug has always done well in stained water for me.

You may not catch many, but you will take pictures of the fish you catch.

I bet if the tractor tire had a decent shimmy on the fall a DD bass probably would try to eat it. Scale a bass up to the size of a musky and they'd be the most terrifying thing in the lake.

Look up the winning lures for Kissimmee 2020 on Bassmaster. Let's just say first place knew something that your on to.... ?

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

How do you guys fish them? Just drag it along the bottom?

Drag it on a T-Rig

Drop-Shot with a 3/4 or heavier sinker and 3/0 or larger hook into dense weeds - Bubba-Shot

Long trailer behind a swim-jig

 

Lots of ways to fish a big worm.

Now that is interesting.

Definitely a Fla bait. No bass up north can eat something that big ?

That's awfully kind of you Tom. I'm in!

First time I threw a 10.5 inch Yum Mighty Worm was on a 5/8 oz Pumpkin ‘Ed jig in 18 fow - I just dropped it over the side of the boat to reset the tension on my reel.  3/4 of the way to the bottom I got nailed by a 19 inch largemouth.  I thought this is what I should have been using all year!  Have fished that exact set up half a dozen times over the past 5 years without a sniff...

I haven't drank enough of the Kool-aid to but a bunch of different brands of 10 worms.  That being said, I always have a Berkley 10" power worm tied on ready to throw.  Color depends on whims of the day, mostly blue fleck.

Around here the dinks tend to leave the larger straight tail worms alone.  So I pay real close attention if I'm fishing an 8" grape jellyworm and I get a bite.

Oh, they can eat it... I'm just  trying to figure out how to get a hook into them after they bite it. Doesn't seem to be enough room left in their mouth for a hook point, lol.

 

 

The 10.5" Mightyworm is also a legit offering. I fish them like a fluke for pike and catch a lot of bass in the process.

If Michigan counts as being up North I can assure you that we have Bass up here that have no problem hitting 10" plus worms. I'm partial to the 10" Big Bite Kreit tail worm and for a straight tail the 10" Xcite Maximus has also produced.
