Haven't bought any culprit worms for a long time, so grabbed some packs at Gander... Got some neat colors (blueberry, redberry, firetiger, and some normal ones), but all of them had a pinch/pucker in the midsection, every single one.  I don't have any others to compare these to, is this a defect or how culprit is doing things these days?

What size did you buy??

I normally buy the 10-12" red shad color and I have never had anything wrong with them.

I got the 7.5 inchers.  

I bought a couple of bags of 7.5" at GM last month and they didn't have the pinch/pucker.

Did you buy them from Walmart? They seem to have what seems like a lot of "seconds"

I bought a spook Jr there a couple months ago and the line tie was waay off from the center. I had never bought one before so I was thinking "is this what makes them walk?"  ;D
