I remember one of you saying purple gets them hooked. 
 

im gonna try.   The margarita mayhem!  A purple Robo worm.  I can’t find the ridiculous bubble gum pink worm I was successful w last week. Sold out. 
 

gonna throw a grape at em. What a neat color and great name.  Not sure I’d ever drink a margarita this color. :)

One of my very favourite worms! Purple and grape in any brand are killer!

Purple and all their variances  have been my top color since the 70's .

Definitely a good color. MM III seems to work anywhere I remember to throw it.

Roboworm MM is Margarita Mutilator, MMIII.  

Folkstad Spl is another good purple w/red.

This was my secret producer when everyone and their Uncle is throwing green pumpkin.  Dip the tail in some red dye and  I clean up behind them.

The Electric Grape Berkley Power Worm works great for me.

No, purple does not work, no one should ever use purple for bass fishing, especially the  Tequila Sunrise color.  Leave those colors for me instead...

Is Junebug purple enough to be considered purple?   Seems like everyone and everything comes in that color?

Junebug is definitely purple..it is also one of the best soft plastic colors out there. If I'm not throwing green pumpkin I'm throwing June bug.

Purple always works! I just bought a couple packs of the purple Maxscent worms, I am excited to see those hanging outta a bass face soon!

In the 70’s I had purple tied on so often my buddies gave me the nick name “purple worm”.

Jigs it was purple vinyl is final, color choices were easy back in the day as long as it was purple.

Black grape /blue neon vain was the hot color during the 80’s. Upton’s Purple Thunder and black grape/blue neon are still my favorites in his 9” worms.

Here in Florida, purple variation colored plastic worms have caught more bass than all the other artificial baits put together.  There is no wrong way to fish them.  If that is the only bait you ever used, you would catch enough fish to make you happy your entire life.   

Seems like purple, and specifically that tequila sunrise/morning dawn color, work especially well for me in low light conditions.

 

Just last weekend, the last day of our crappie fishing trip was going to be overcast. I was at the tackle shop and saw some crappie jigs (Bobby Garland Baby Shad) in "Morning Dawn." Had never used that color for crappie. Sure enough, it was the ticket the next day.

 

Interesting side note--those Bobby Garlands in Morning Dawn were the supposedly glow-in-the-dark "Mo Glo" series. They worked well enough for crappie that it made me wonder if there is anything comparable for bass.

My boat always has some Morning Dawn and Bubblegum Stik-O's in it.  ALWAYS,

Anyone remember Mann's Jelly worms?  

Yes, I still use them sometimes. And I always like the grape color.

My best with the Roboworms are Folstead Special, MM111, and Blk/Grape. All have worked well.

I grew up fishing with Creme scoundrel plastic worms in grape color.  That's the only color I would ever use.

One of the best plastic worms ever made.  I used to buy them in 100 bags.   The Zoom Trick worm is a close second.

Absolutely. I just caught this 3.64 lb bass a few days ago on a Mann’s Jelly Worm on a 3/0 EWG with a 1/8 oz tungsten bullet weight. It’s blackberry, which is like a real, dark, blackish purple. Great worms!
