So far now I've done them on 8s and 10. Even on the 8s I have they are quite a small worm.

Cheers,

Small, yes, but bluegills don't generally eat worms except those on hooks. What they DO feed on it chironomid larvae, and those must look like a great big chiro to them. I used to have a bunch of rubber worms that were only about an inch long, and bluegills couldn't resist them. I hope you'll report on whatever you catch with these.

I'm afraid that these started out as a sort of joke challenge, but have taken on something of a life of their own. I have sent a few to friends and will try them myself when I have chance. I will report back on them when I have something to report.

Cheers,

C.
