I know they’re an old brand, just wanted to know if they catch any fish and how I should use them. Any other color recs would be great if so. 

I like throwing them on a splitshot rig with a light wire hook, but a light Texas rig is always a winner as well.
 

I carry “Live” and the Purple with white spots. Load them up with the scent of your choice (I personally use “Bass Feast” Smelly Jelly), and watch for your line to suddenly start moving. 

One of if not the very first plastic worms ever made. T rig, split shot, shakey head, or weightless will all work.

I had an old great uncle in B.A.S.S. tournaments back in the day. His name was Irvin Kasaw. He took me fishing when I was 12 years old back in 1976 on Smith lake in Alabama.

 

I can still remember his old setup and tackle. White fiberglass rods and red Abu round reels and green Johnson closed face reels with a white cast button. But his number 1 go to lure was the grape purple Creme worm on the bottom.

 

Nearly 50 years ago, and I have rarely heard of this lure ever since.

 

I'm curious if anyone would consider the original Creme worm to be about the same thing as today's trick worms?

That “old brand” is now way under used and the fish are not seeing that bait. The funny thing about worms is there’s lots of them but the fish still respond to old stuff because it still works and no one runs it…simply a “new” look for them.
 

I’ve caught some nice fish on the old pre-rigged Stopper worms, with the hooks and snell removed of course. That bent, kinked worm rolling and twitching around is typically more than they can bear

The Creme Scoundrel was the first plastic worm I ever used. My brother bought a three pack at a hardware store in Chillicothe Missouri, around 1967. At first we just nose hooked them. They caught fish this way. Later we learned how to t rig them and that was our favourite way.                                                                 We were fishing farm ponds on our grandfathers farm. The pond was rimmed with moss. When t rigged, we could cast them onto the moss, reel them to the edge, and let them drop. We were amazed at how many bass hit them. These worms are a stiffer plastic, so when you t rig them push the hook through and bring it back to make a channel for easier hook sets. If you lay these next to a Zoom trick worm, the two are almost identical. With so many worms on the market now, these are still good baits. The old Creme worms still work.

That's what I was thinking as well.  The creme are a little stiffer than a zoom trick worm, but I bet they fish close enough to be called the same.  The purple creme and a black grape zoom are going to be near on interchangeable. FWIW, the zoom trick worm has become my go to fish catcher this year (on a neko, but I'm going to start rigging it otherwise next trip too).

The scoundrels are quite a bit tougher than the trick worm, and have a far more subtle action. To me the Creme is quite a bit more buoyant as well.

I was thinking more of the shape and size than composition of the Creme worm. It just looks like a trick worm to me is why I mentioned it.

 

For the record, I got rid of these decades ago and have never gone back. I am sure they still work. Just not my cup of tea.

To be honest, the fish around here have gotten so pressured that I find myself digging into the “archives” more and more just to throw something that they haven’t been hammered with this week. 

 

 

 

 

My Favorite Creme Scoundrel T-Rigged 8lb. test mono 1/8oz bullet wt. with spinning setup. Purple-White Tail 6". One of the best finesse worms ever made.

Good Fishing

You can be trendy and fish it on a free rig and I guarantee it will work and also make you feel extremely cutting edge and hip.

A Scoundrel is one of my go to baits.  My favorite way to fish them in weightless.

Finesse T rig. Don’t let the price fool ya. Great worm 

I don't think there is such thing as a bad worm. 

I haven't ever tried the Creme scoundrels, but I use creme flukes and their stick worms, as they are available to me and reasonably priced. I do use the zoom trick worms though.

Probably the first worm I used was a Creme modulator which was greenish with a darker color mixed in. Also purple/white tail still works either weightless or with 1/8 oz weight.
