Motor Oil worm

[Wayne Ek]

This is kind of a survey. Deitz and I fished together for 2 days this week. When we would rig, I would fish a 7" Berkley motor oil worm, sickle tail. Now I got lots of fish on that worm, but lots of flack from the Deitz man. So I was wondering who else uses motor oil worms. Or am I the odd man out.

[SluggoMaster]

It's a good color, although I don't find it works as well here as it does down south.

[Tom Wilson]

Sluggo's absolutely right on that one.

Motor Oil down south is like Red Shad here. I have Motor oil colors in my box, but I rarely throw them. That and Purple or Grape were the primary colors when I grew up in Georgia. We used to use them exclusively at night on Reserviors like Westpoint, Weiss, and Seminole.

I have a few bags of the Berkley Powerworms in motor oil. It's been awhile since I used that color, but I have had decent results using motor oil as compared to using pumpkinseed, or purple/black, which have always worked well for me.

[Deitz Dittrich]

This was quite the topic the last few days between Wayne and I... While he was throwing MotorOil.. I was throwing Green Pumpkin(a color I think is pretty near) Or junebug, or redshad...

To be honest, I do not own a motoroil piece of plastic, and never have... However, I do see they catch fish!... If you woule like to see Waynes and my trip..

i throw motoroil worms when on clear weedline lakes and know a few others who do to.

I have had success with motor oil tubes. Pumpkin and craw or other natural colors are what I like for smallies.

Motor oil is one of my favorites. I was just up in the Woman Lake Area from Sunday through today and caught a bunch of bass on 7 inch motor oil worms. I ended up running out of the color and will have to buy more before I go back up. My box hasn't been void of motor oil for many years! It has been the best morning and daytime color for me over the past few years with tequila sunrise or purple being my evening and nighttime choice.

I'll have to back you on your choice of color completely.

I use both the Berkley 7" motor oil worm and Productos 7" tournement worms. The Producto works great hooked weedless and used like a jerkbait. Motor oil worms are my goto bait.

[SluggoMaster]

Red shad works here on any water clarity that I have seen. Size doesn't seem to matter as well.

[slopmaster]

motor oil is by far my favorite color to throw and i fish the alex lakes. if anyone fishes lobster lake i would definitly give it a try it has produced a lot of fish on that lake for me anyways

Maybe its an alex area thing, but i throw motor oil worms all the time on those lakes both t-rigged and on a jigworm. went through 2 bags of them last weekend alone. I also like the motor oil tubes.

[Central Bassman]

Im a red shad guy, but all this talk about motor oil is goin to make me give them a try... What the best time and water color to use motor oil in???

[ikeslayer]

i use motor oil bungy worms. They seem to produce better for me on a little bit clearer lake. ike

[ocf]

my ticket is a tequila sunrise on sunrise or sunset, during the day i like to use shiner colors

[Bobby Bass]

This thread reminded me to dig in my plastics box and restock my motor oil worms. I have been having good success using purple and my go to green..

I agree with Doufish2. The Producto motor oil worms have been a favorite of mine since the mid-eighties. It's a great bulky but soft worm.

Hey Wayne,

You still fishin that Wed night league up there? I sure do miss that!!!

[Wayne Ek]

Doufish2, yes I still hit the Wen and Tues night leagues. But with all the quide trips and bigger tournaments I only make about half of the nights. Sorry for the late reply, I was up on Pokagama for the BassMasters Series... I donated again

[Doufish2]

I like the change they made going to different lakes instead of just the chain. Too many ppl thought that a certain area was their spot on the chain and you better not be in it. Have not fished it for a couple of years but it was a good league to fish in. I see that Putty is back in town.
