i've fished this on the surface like a snake or in the middle of the water column, like a minnow or worm. It rocks. I saw the exclusive coffee scent and had to go for it. the rage tail series are all good. These lures really got me into strike king, now i love all strike king lures.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BassWhackersPO Great Worm, Big Profile
I am usually fishing fairly deep water in open areas and this is the worm that I always go to. The way the body is noched and tail flare caused the bait to do spirals on the fall which often attract strikes or get the fish interested. They come in great colors, especially the Red Shad, and are also durable. However, I like the 10inch version better because it has a really nice profile in deep water. Good job Strike King!

Can't say I bought any of these but I have had many given to me. Steve Parks did a wonderful job designing these baits. This bait really doesn't even need an explanation. Just put it on a 4/0 or 5/0 hook and hang on, The fish will slam this bait!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 it
Top 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.
