Mann's® Jelly Worm
One of the top-selling plastic baits of all time, Mann's Jelly Worm has been enticing big bass strikes since 1956. Designed with a soft, lifelike textured body, the long and slender Jelly Worm features a slow waving tail that coaxes even lethargic bass to pounce. The straight design also allows the Jelly Worm to cruise through grass and cover without hanging-up.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BubbaJay GREAT BIG WORM!!
I have fished this bait for over 20 years. It is the only late summer texas rigged plastic I throw deep on main lake points. I like the 12 inch with a 6/0 WG hook. The weight and size make it a breeze to cast and it attracts big fish.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CaptMac Best Go-2 bait for 40years!!
I have had the privilage of living and fishing on the lower Susquehanna River in Md. all my 62 years. I discovered the jelly Worm in the 70's, and have found no other worm that holds a candle to it. Myself and a couple friends have fished this stretch of water hard; often 6 days or nights a week when I was younger. Though nothing is foolproof and works every time, these worms work more often than not! Now they do tear a bit easy, but I've got an electric needle that puts them right back together! Blackberry, Grape, and Strawberry I find I use most; and in 40+ years the fish have never gotten tired of them or remembered them like hard baits. Try'em!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by bigfishken1 One of the best worms of all time!
I started using Mann's Jellyworms in the mid-1970's and still use them today. They are one of the best, if not THE BEST, plastic worms ever made. They are the first scented plastic baits I remember using and smell as good to me as they do to the fish. I'm glad Bass Pro Shop has started back carrying them and hope they will increase the number of sizes and colors being offered.

If you fish anything long enough, you are bound to catch a fish.However, in Florida, my experience has been Mann's Jelly worm catches more fish.
Mann's worms have a natural action while sitting on the bottom that drive the Bass wild.

Good old black works in either.Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
You can use any color worm in clear or cloudy water.What I usually do is add a glass rattle when fishing in cloudy water, or at night.
You can also spray on some fish attractant to give you the edge.

Why no 6 inch worm? This size is clearly favored by most anglers.Mann's Jelly worm has always been my favorite. Many of my fellow fisherman think this plastic worm is old school, but it catches fish!! I have confidence in this lure and found it to be very effective in many different fishing conditions. You need to carry a 6 inch worm!

Try putting a little less worm on the hook initialy. Make sure when hooking the point into the worm that the worm hangs as straight as possible. This works for me pretty well.A:Â

A:Â
The size of the hook should match up to the size of the worm you are using.When I fish 5" or 6" skinny worms, I use a 2/0 hook, rigged Texas Style.
When I use the 8" Manns Worm, I go up to a 4/0 hook rigged Texas Style.
Also, try tying the hook directly on to the line without using any worm weights. It should give the worm more action.
You can also retrieve the worm slower as the water temperature drops. Try using short rod tip twitches. That should also give your worm more action.
And don't forget to sharpen your hooks before you use them.

i prefer a smaller gap hook like a texposer hook. also heavier line can hender the worms action. i use eight lb test.Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
I TX rig mine no problems hereA:Â
go to a 3/o hook instead. It will make the worn lay flat on the hook.A:Â
well, sometimes i use texas rig, and that works great....i would recommend that. but when you fish it like that, just let it sink, and when u feel it on the bottom, just kinda drag, stop, twitch and thats how i catch them :)A:Â
I used no weight when rigging the worm. Just a 2/0 hook.Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
This worm doesnt have a huge wave, it is a tight wiggle, but I recommend TX rig or a shakey head is deadlyA:Â
