We have been around for a few years here and are now sponsors on the board. There will be a new banner at the top of the forum once I finish it.

We have done quite a few giveaways here in the past and I want to do another one now. This one will be for our new Dragon Tail Steelhead Worms. We started manufacturing these last winter and had a lot of anglers and guides test them for us. We took the feedback and made a few small changes and have just released them.



We are using very high quality plastic and colorants made here in the US. These high quality, raw materials allow us to make extremely bright and vibrant worms that are very durable. They are also enhanced with our 365 nanometer UV process similar to our yarn.



They have unique multifaceted tails that move water off four surfaces creating erratic action. Unlike traditional steelhead worms these tails can move up, down and left, right in the current. The top half of the worm is the thickest and tapers down very thin before the tail. This gives maximum body size for where studies show best hook placement is along with great movement.



We are going to give away four packs of worms here. We make six colors and two sizes. Colors available are Cerise, Hot Pink, Steelhead Pink, Shrimp Pink, Bubblegum and Steelhead Orange. The Hot Pink, Shrimp Pink and Steelhead Orange are translucent so light can pass through them while the Steelhead Pink, Bubblgem and Cerise are opaque. We make them in both 6 inch and 4.5 inch sizes.

To be entered into the giveaway just post a picture of your most memorable worm caught steelhead or just reply to this thread! We will pick a random post in one week and that person will be the winner.

These worms are being distributed through Big Rock Sports so almost every tackle shop in the country can order them! If you want them in your local shop go in and ask for them. You can also purchase them through our website below.

Not the biggest, just the brightest...We're in...

I have caught some fish on worms, but don't have a pic, but I'd like to try them and give you feedback. Like to find out if the Big Boys coming in like them too.

I will play...

I have a buddy who landed three steelhead in Oregon last year that were 42, 44 and 44 inches long. He calls these worms the heart-breakers! Big fish like them.

No real Booner's for me on the pink worm that I've landed. Lots of fish...and lots in the upper teens, but I can't recall any that were an honest 20. Lost a few that were ginormous and would pushed the 25 mark...but woulda-coulda-shoulda fish don't count.

Here's one that taped out in the upper 19's. 39 incher. Spring of 2003.



Caught on a DannyJoe original High Floater worm. The worm before all the other worms.

Well my computer crashed that has all my worm pics in or I would have a couple good ones. Those look very interesting and I would like to try them.

Big fish don't eat pink worms.

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. Or orange ones, or blue ones, or red ones, or green ones, either

I am a worm virgin.

Well, I'm still a PWV so I don't have any pics like that. I think I just found my new mission: catch a steelhead on a worm. Challenge accepted.

Reminds back in the Vision Hooks days when Superfly would just hand me worms in every color of the rainbow. All of them worked.

Put any 6" worm in front of a wild fish and it will chomp on it!

Earliest pink worm caught fish photo I have is from 2002. A real beauty.



KidSauk and I were using them up on the Sauk before 2002, but no photos.

Caught a shart-ton of steelhead on the Walla Walla River using live night crawlers in the late 80's and early 90's. Does the real thing count?

I caught a Steelhead on a pink worm once but didn't take a picture because I didn't believe it really happened?

Another worm virgin right here. Looks like a good design!

Got this 12LB hatchery hen Steelhead this year Bobberdoggin a pink worm.

Well get some rigged up and we'll take care of that problem next week, Nick

Fish on...

Todd

I'm in for more worms!!!

Not big by any measurements but sure a fun fish on a beautiful day!


And another on a small worm.... Another beauty.

My first one, from '06

March 26, 2003 Wynoochee.

Wish I knew how to post pics from my phone. I have a few great fish caught on worms. One on the raging river that's a beauty!!

I don't have any pic's either, but I have hooked a couple of nice fish on plastic worms. Throw my name in the hat for the drawing. Too bad I can't win before Thursday when I leave for 3 days on the OP.

Here's a couple little ones that ate some worms

That's a six inch worm sitting on that one's gill plate:



This one's from BC, proving that big summer runs don't eat pink worms, either



Fish on...

Todd

1st winter run, caught on a PW, on my home river. Took the picture just to remind myself that all the talk about PW...PW's, really do work, just have to believe that they will "get the job done.

Wish you well, on the addition to your other products...

Enter me ..... Thanks

Those are some dandies Todd. That first fish is a toad.

I miss the Potato Patch.

How about a worm caught springer?? Had already c n r'd 3 springers that morning so put on a purple worm thinking it would avoid the springers and maybe find a steelhead... wrong.

No pics, back in the 70's I bought some plain jane pink worms from the sports shop in Bellevue after reading in Salmon, Trout, and Steelheader about pink worm fishing in Canada. Was on the Cowlitz at Blue Creek, waited until noon so most fishermen would leave for lunch, then made cracks about fishing for bass since I did not want people to think I was stupid. The summer runs were in and stacked but had a super case of close mouth and very few caught. I was hooking a fish on almost every cast, kept loosing them until I figured out how to hook up the worms......long story short I could easy have sold all my worms for $5 or $10 bucks apiece since no one else had any. The sports shop was out of pink worms the next time I went to buy some.

in 3 years of using wfo worms, "clear water orange" has hit 1 buck EVER for me. it has hooked many many hens, so many that i REFUSE to believe it is coincidence. it is the only worm i have come across with such results, every other brand or color of worm i have used hasnt had those kind of results.

Don't have a pic but throw my name in and maybe I will get a pic in the future.

Don't forget the local summerruns don't mind a pw either!

No photographic worm evidence in this one but probably one of my more badass worm fish. I don't remember my hat EVER looking that clean.


Here is one with the proof still sticking out of his mouth. Not a big fish but it is from one of my favorite days fishing with Coley. I like the look of the substrate too.

-AP

here's one from the Hoh a few years ago

Convince me. I'm in.

I love pink worms, has literally caught a fish for me in just about every river I have caught a steelhead in and nice thing is that they work in all conditions, even low and clear fish don't mind. wish I had some pics to show, maybe later lets just say I don't leave home with a pack or 2 of them especially if I am heading to the OP.

Last cast of the day...and the boat almost floats away.

Not the biggest, but she was pretty bright. Put my name in the hat.

Free shwag?

I'm in!!!

Makes you wonder if the aggressive bucks are keying in on the pink color, while the more subdued hens are hitting the more subtle orange color.

Me thinks one should run a pink and orange worm and keep a tally of bucks/hens caught. Use the same brand of worm.

Do it, Phi! Let us know at the end of the season. Would be cool to see the results!

Virgin. Put me in...

in 3 years of bobber dogging worms running 1 rod with pink and 1 rod with either op nightmare or clear water orange... i have gotten 3 fish in 3 years by making a 2nd pass through the exact same line that didnt yield a fish the first pass and all 3 were hens and all 3 were on clear water orange worm after either nightmare or pink.

and i have gotten 1 buck on clear water orange to about ~20 hens.

38.5" hen on cw orange after tbird and i beat up the hole with nightmare and steelgum (bubblegum)... first cast with cw orange
there was some big fish that were in a couple mile stretch that day


earlier that day


later that same day

Some fishin' guide took me out to drag worms once…

Me too but looks to be further upstream from there, opposite some very nice people's farm....

<--- I'm in with this one.

Had good luck witht the 4 dragon tail worms you threw in on the micro worm give away. Fished the last one till it was in tatters. No pics unfortunately

The big summer run pic is directly in the middle of The Patch...the other one with the worm on the gill plate is from an "S River".

Fish on...

Todd

pwv here. i'm in.

No pics as I have never caught one on a worm.

The Potato Patch has given up a few decent steelies over the years from what I understand.....

Those worms look sweet! No pics for me, Idaho steelhead don't eat rubber worms.

This one was a worm-gobbler.

In.

Having spent considerable time on west coast and Idaho rivers, PW seem to work equally well on both. Had some days when they wouldn't touch anything but a PW for the smaller A-Runs...

To me, they have always been a great change of pace or reaction lure when nothing else will work. The PW has never been my "go to" lure, but I'd be stupid not to carry a few.

Bent Metal,

Good to know! I suppose I shouldn't make asinine comments like that without throwing a worm at all.

I have yet to find a place they won't work, or a type of fish...winter or summer, wild or hatchery...that won't hit them at some point.

California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, B.C...haven't been to Alaska to steelhead fish yet, but I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't work just as well there.

Fish on...

Todd

No pink worm pictures, but I am a believer in the worm since the early 90s. Will take pic with those worms you have, if I win some.

Yep Im in. No pics of the da worm in action.....

I"m in. Ready to get jiggy with those!

BD

I'm in.....

Bottomfish like em'

Welcome aboard, Chad.

I'm all in coach.

I'll play along.

I'm just a mooch love the yarn ...... I'm in...

Favorite fish pictures are of my favorite fishing partners. Mrs Jaydee with worm-eating Skychromish steelhead about ten years ago. Best we could do photography-wise during a February monsoon.

PIG!!!

Do I get bonus points for the Spaniel assist ?

On Tuesday we fished in a zoo and ended up only hooking two. Not bad considering the fish checker only saw 5 fish the for entire river. I got mine on a worm, just not a big one. 3 inch micro under a float in the Steelhead Orange color. Missed a second one on a red 3 incher. I fished the big guys through the same area but they were not in the mood I guess.

Here is one a guide buddy got a few weeks ago. Pretty nice Oregon hatchery fish!

I lost my first worm fish on Tuesday. It was also my first takedown of the winter!

Just another gimmick. A buddy says it's no different than pink flagging and sometimes I wonder how true that could be. Either way, highly innefective.

Haven't done much, but getting interested

My avatar has my most memorable worm-caught fish.

If anyone else wants to get your name in the drawing get in now! I am going to pick a winner out of a hat tomorrow.

Oh what the hell

I'm In

Whooooo Hoooooo!

Just wanted to post a big "Thank YOU". They arrived today and I was blown over by your generosity! I was expecting 4 worms, not 4 packages of worms! I'll do my best to do them justice! Thanks, Again!

No problem! They will treat you well.

Nice all around...
