I have caught bass, bluegill, crappie and even a catfish on these lures. These things are just amazing. If there is a downside it is that, like all rage tail lures, the anaconda is a bit on the weak side. I just wish it were more durable. On the other hand, it catches fish so i suppose i should stifle my complaints. I like to fish these on 1/8 oz Luck E Strike perfect worm hooks.
tie one on, it is worth it!

Strike King has done it again! This lure gets the attention of about every fish. Bass kill this lure. I have even had fish that are shorter than this worm try to take this lure. Would definitely recommend buying a pack, or two, of these worms.

I would definitely use something of quality. Without using specific brands, just choose a brand you have the most confidence in (Sharp, strong, etc) As far as size, on a 10" worm, I would use at least a 5/0 EWG hook, regardless of how you choose to rig it. Anything bigger might be over kill, anything shorter can possibly give you short bites/misses.A:Â

I BUY EAGLE CLAW WORM HOOKS THEY WORK GREAT,I GET THE 3/0 HOOKS WITCH GREAT FOR THE TEN INCH WORMSTop 250 Contributor

I use a 6/0 Owner Weighted Twistlock Light (3/32 oz). Its great to swim it, and if you pause on the retrieve, the worm pretty much falls horizontally with the tail wiggling above. Can also rig it with a regular 6/0 hook texas style if you prefer a nose-first fall.Top 500 Contributor

Use a 4/0 EWG worm hook. Gamakatsu is the best brand and you can get a pack of them for $3-4. 4/0 is a little on the bigger side but they will give you better hook ups as long as you have developed a good technique for worm fishing. If you go to the 7" worm then use a 3/0. Good luck.Details:Â
can u use it for drop shot or use texas rig?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
Texas rig is a very common use for this style of soft plastic, and I have had success with it. However, I like using a stand up jig when I can. It makes the tail stick up off the bottom, and the water will make that anaconda tail wag. Instead of jerking 8-10 inches and pausing, I will just shimmy the tip of my rod and mage it move a few inches. This method gives it some action without removing it from strike zone too quickly.Top 250 Contributor

I have used this lure unweighted, drop shot, and texas rigged and they all work great. I think the drop shot or unweighted rig is better for open water and texas rig is better for cover. Hope this helps.Top 1000 Contributor

is this a topwater bait, can it be fished below and above the surfaceAnswers
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
I have never used it as a top water, may be possible on a wobbler rig. I think the intended purpose is texas/carolina rigged. But with any bait, creativity opens options :-)A:Â
You can fish it both ways. In the shallow I have luck using it with no weight.I have also used Texas rig.

Its a worm not a topwater bait. Texas rig it and flip itTop 250 Contributor
A:Â
It can be used top water if the grass-mat is thick enough. T-rig it with a light weight.Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
the answer is yes! You can fish it mostly top water, with a keep weighted hook, and you can fish it as a wake bait. It does not move a ton of water, but it does move some.A:Â
The Anaconda does not float. It is meant to be fished Texas rigged like other ribbon tailed worms.1 of 1
