shatim Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Walmart back in the 90's sold floating worms by edge lures. Now all you can find is trick worms . These worms were about 5.5" So I'm looking for a floating worm less than 6" We rig them hook exposed .Longer worms 6" or larger don't have action I'm looking for. Anybody producing something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhammah Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 check out z-man worms. I think they float. I think any of those super stretchy baits float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 If you find the size / style worm you want, try injecting air into it with a hypodermic needle to make it float. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalbul Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I make one very close to the old Edge worm, it is 5.75" long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiderunner Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I also used floating worms back in the early 90s. Great for fishing over slop, and lily pads. I had found the Power Worms to be the best, then they changed them to suspending. So that's when I began pouring my own plastics. I use a hand poured 7inch paddle tail which I believe I bought from Barlows many years ago. I've recently tried reproducing those worms from 20 years ago with no luck. I just can't seem to add enough floater to keep them floating. The finished product comes out tacky and brittle . Don't know what has changed in the products But if you do end up making your own, write your recipe down. That seems to be my problem. I am wishing that someone made a 7"or 8" paddle tail worm injection mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalbul Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I had a 5" paddle tail mold made I am testing it now, so far so good, great in the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
