Re: 4" Gulp Turtleback worms
I'm sold. Any value in a stinger (which I find useful on the 6in jobs) or no need?

Re: 4" Gulp Turtleback worms
Generally no stinger is needed, however if you are fishing for whiting and they are following the lure in and bumping it, a stinger just at the base of the tail will pay dividends!

Used them for the first time last week (pumpkin seed) and caught my first ever whiting x4 at 2 different locations,so they have won me over.Flatties liked them too.

I have a pack in the tackle box now, they just might get a run on Saturday at Somers.
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

Caught the largest grass whiting on the red & black one. I had actually just left the sp sitting on the bottom not moving it at all.maverick wrote:I have a pack in the tackle box now, they just might get a run on Saturday at Somers.

Re: 4" Gulp Turtleback worms
I fish them differently for different species. The squidgy ones have a nice action when used with the appropriate weight jig head, usually a 2-5gm head on a #4 hook for the whiting, just give it small but firm jigs off the bottom between long pauses. Flatties I use a 3-9gm head and use the burn and kill technique. Trevally I use a 1-3gm head and keep it just up off the bottom hopping it along.
Hope this helps
