Thanks

been questioning the same thing for a while... I would give it ago.... dont think there could be any problem...

I love fishing hearties.... although i never do that well... (when we useto have a boat).

If you standing at oberon looking at the dam, is there a bay to your left? and a nice long jetti (gazeebo thing) there?

Caught a 2.3kg bass there like 5 mins after a comp ended... (which would of got us second as only hennie naudea caught a fish that day).... was pretty unfortunate....

Whats that chaps name who featrures articles in the SAbass, he caught a 5kg bass there trapping in waders... he gooi'ed a pink trick worm next to a stump, and dead sticked it for couple mins, and the fatty chowed it...
(if that was the true story)

Using the "Pink Trick worm" is a bassers idea of telling you that there is no way in hell he is really gonna tell you what he really used.................LOL

It has sometimes bitten these guys in the butt when the newbe pulls the heaviest bag for the day on a "pink trick worm"

hehe!!! believe it or not, i've been one of those bullshitters, and also used a pink trick worms as lie material. (sorry for that)!

But a trick worm is a poisonous lure.... i always have one in my bag... (before i heard of the hearties story)...
when the fishing is tough, and clear water, i have a trick worm attached to 9lb magnathin... or use it for top water action... (haha, not in pink though....)

I have a few pink coloured flukes in my tackle box, I got them from my brother inlaw. Has anybody ever really caught a bass on anything pink? - without the bullshit. I've seen blokes cathcing peakock bass with them on a video but thats it!!!

Come to think of it i have a video of a usa pro angler, cant remember his name ... but it sounds like a chicks name...anyways he catches loads in that video with a pink trick worm..he says the bright colour is a sign of danger to the bass during the spawn season, and thats why so many large bags have been pulled on this worm.....belive it or not but i saw the video

I actually know the fellow with the pink worm in the picture and he basicly only fishes those pink culprit worms.

It's his goto baits so he does quite well on them. I have also heard a lot of guys really like throwing the pink worms when the fish are really pressured.
