Thats a dead ringer. I like it for pitching to specific targets such as stumps. Good at night also with its oversized tail.

Looks like a smaller one judging by the picture.The ones I use are called big dead ringer.It's an okay worm,does it's job.

I have that exact same worm and color. It is a dead ringer.

Never liked them, too much tail not enough room to bury a big hook in it. Yet some of the sizes go up to 8 inches and you can only put like a 3/0 hook in it. There are much better worms out there IMO

Why?

  • Super User

Because it looks and acts different and puts off a lot of thump.

Whatever floats your boat and catches you fish.There are a heck of a lot of things that I think are junk that other people swear by.

It's the Army in me.  ;D   ;D   ;D

A friend handed me on of those deadringers from nose to end of the tail was only maybe 3 inches. I laughed at him said what's this. My buddy said try it we were smallmouth fishing. I tell you we caught alot of fish that day with that little thing. I guess I won't laugh at him next time

Looks like a C-tail, or dead ringer.

Nice pink back ground!  ;D

That is the G-Tail ringer my friend, very good indeed. I bought some packs last year at Academy, they are the closest thing to a favorite bait of mine ( Ecogear 's Paramax ).

zoom dont make any junk and will out fish most other brands including sk.the dead ringer is an excellent pitchin and flippin bait.in the hands of someone who knows how to use it will put big fish in the boat.

Ahh what you used my friend was the 4" dead ringer, possibly the deadliest tidal river bait ever made and one of my all time favorites  :)

If you look closely, the tail is not that of the G-tail but a regular dead ringer.

The G-tails have a thicker tail with serations on the tail end and look like "dead ringers"    :)  of the old Ditto Gator tails.
