PC Baits Coffee Worms

[Captain Ahab]

I have been bugging PC Baits to make me a few custom plastics for the past several months. He has been ignoring me and painting those pretty cranks baits!

Yesterday, a bag of 20 5" "senko" style worms arrived in my custom color. These worms are the color of a dark roasted coffee bean (hey, I love coffee so I figured that bass might also?) with gunmetal flake. They are incredible and, even better, I caught a nice 2 lb LM bass on my second cast.

I am taking them back out today for some more field testing

Way to nail that color DP!

Awesome! Good job DP!

 

[Captain Ahab]

I put the Coffee Worms to good use today! Caught this fat girl on the first cast:

[Jim]

you can't tell all your secrets, dave!

That's a fat fish

no secrets allowed here.....Was that a black coffee or a soy lattee type LOL! :shock:

 

[dampeoples]

he actually asked for two kinds, coffee, and coffee with cream, I've not done the other color yet, I feel like he needs to wait another month or two

 

[Captain Ahab]

Sheeeet, DP - leave a brother hanging like that, you rebels are no good. :x

I needs my coffee worms, the bass are waiting!

 

[dampeoples]

I'll get the new mold soon, hopefully, then I can pump them out like crazy

Do we need a nameing thing, like the others?

 

[Captain Ahab]

Heck yea, a "name that bait contest" is always fun! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Captain Ahab]

DP you are killing me, I used up a few more of the Coffee Worms today and got this fatty. You can see the big belly which was probably full of the ripped Coffee Worms from yesterday!

 

[JustFishN]

what a beautiful fish! I think I'd cry if I caught that. Hahaha I'd have it stuffed or something

 

[Captain Ahab]

JustFishIn - they are out there, get some stuff from PC Baits, fish the structure and you will catch them. I never did this good before, but then again I just found out about the DP stuff this winter

 

[JustFishN]

I should!

esquired...how do you rig up your fake worms? I have heard so many different ways and not sure which way is the way to do it.

 

[Captain Ahab]

I rig the worm depending on conditions and structure. If I am fishing in shallow areas with a weightless worm, I almost always T-rig with the appropriate size hook. By appropriate size, I feel that the weight and size of the hook can have a great effect on the action of the worm. I will go with a 1/0 offset hook on thinner worms, a 2/0 offset on "senko" type worm. For larger creature baits I go up to a 4/0 offset wide gap.

I also use different gauge hooks depending on the bait, if the bait sinks rather quickly I will use a thin wire hook - if the bait has some buoyancy and I want it to sink, I use a heavy hook.

I will also use an octopus style hook for nose hooking or wacky rigging the worms.

I also fish the soft plastics on a shaky or football head in deeper structure or on a rocky bottom. You can get a great slow retrieve going with those heads!

 

[JustFishN]

Thank you! I am going to try to use some worms this weekend. I'll be sure to let you know how I make out.

DP makes some of the highest quality products I have ever seen. He is a true artisan.
