when i found out that mann's bait co was no longer going to make the auger tail worm i stocked up. with all the new soft plastic baits that started hitting the market i kinda lost the room to carry them in my tackle box so i stored them in the garage with the other old fishin lures. years has past and i was going through that old stuff and saw those auger tails. i remembered how good they used to be and decided to put some in the boat. i began trying them when nothing else would work and 75% of the time they produced when nothing else would. my question is for all you bass pro's. do you think  A: its just something they have not seen  B: maybe the action is different from anything being fished today(cork screw)? or C: its all in my head ? thanks

More likely it's a new look to the fish.  Doesn't change the fact that they work though

When asked about new lures on the market that bass have not seen yet Rick Clunn answered Every thing that was old is now new.

I would definately say its the new look to bass that will produce...always nice to go back to something and have it produce over today's selection...You can't go wrong with giving them something different to look at as you are finding out! Stick with it
