ringworms/paddletails

Hey guys I know you guys do well on these on the rivers and stuff but I don’t ever fish any rivers. I fish all man made lakes and resevoirs. Would these work good on these types of waters.

Yes, they’re made to imitate baitfish. They should do the job nicely.

I fish Lake Michigan and inland lakes for several species using plastics with good success…as does Eric Haataja (see him in the latest video)The pics show a nice Brown Trout I caught pitching for Walleye last spring out on Green Bay…notice the jig with Firecracker/Chartreusetail Paddle tail in her jaw.

Work great on Rainy Lake and River!!

Smallmouths absolutely destoyed a whole bag of firecracker/chartruese tailed ringworms last summer on Red Cedar Lake,Wi.
Several fish fish at 20″+ and all released!
Won’t use anything but those on that lake

I spend 90% of my time on the water guiding on Lake Wisconsin, which is a resevoir on the Wisconsin River. Paddletails & Ringworms work awesome here. They are my “go to” bait during the spring & fall seasons.

I run BFT Ringworms on Spinner or non-spinner rigs on lakes.

They work VERY well! The key is in hou you hook them. You want the worm to tun straight, and you do not want the rubber to impede the hookset. So it is best to have the head facing you…and grab the hook by the gap with the barb pointing towards the tail. Go in the very tip of the head and come out quickly, without hooking too much rubber. The tail hook must hood right at the tail, before it hits the twister. This is critical. And again, do not hook too much rubber. You will be amazed how many light biters get nailed this way!
