purple with the last inch or two dipped in JJ's. Watermelon seed in shallower water.

We brought home a bottle of muscadine wine from one of our stops on the way home through Georgia last week. It outlast the peaches we brought back but not by much.

It's high time you guys stop going on about purple worms on the internet. I said black and motor oil. Also, Sangiovese grapes taste best, fermented. Just saying. 

I'm quite fond of cotton candy grapes, myself. No luck with the cotton candy worms, however.

straight Green Pumpkin, and Zoom's Chameleon color.

Thanks for the replies - no Motor Oil , Red Shad or Scuppernog of any kind in my inventory , so I will investigate further . 

Junebug in all water colors.  This color just seems to get bit.  My profile picture fish came on a junebug 10 inch worm, in really clear water.

Tend to use 7 1/2”-10” ribbon tails very low light and at night because they move more water then straight tails imo.

Night I am in the camp of black/blue, black grape-blue neon  and purple/reds like Tequila Sunrise and keep it simple.

small 3 1/2-4” ribbon tails like Flutter Craft Screamers* I used in Shad color rigged finesse Slip Shot.

My dad used to say he could catch bass on any color worm as long as it was black. Then he discovered shades of purple.

Perhaps due to the depth people fish ribbon tail worms at - but it seems that ribbon tail worm colors people favor are different than say their shaky head worm colors ... With shaky head worm colors you often see green pumpkin or watermelon red called out while with ribbon tail worms its plum , plum apple , blue fleck , tequila sunrise , black and blue , etc. which are colors you don't even see in a typical shaky head worm - why is that ? At any rate , what are your favorite ribbon tail worm colors ?

 

Red Shad, Tequila Shad, Black Shad, Watermelon, Green Pumpkin, those are my favorite ribbon tail colors, I've caught more fish on T-rigged Tequila Shad than all the others combined, why ? I don't know if it is because I like the color a lot and fish it or because the fish do really react to it, now, some food for thought, I fished a lot Watermelon Trickworms shakey head rigged and killed them, interesting, maybe the rig had someting to do with it ?
