    I agree with 8 thumbs, If a fur and feather equivalent was better than a plastic worm the big money bass tourney guys would be fishing zonker strip worms instead. I've used both and can say the plastics cast just as well or better than a fur/feather worms, have better action in the water (esp. with a fly rod), they also have taste and texture appeal. Ofcourse this is just my opinion and to each his own.

    Bp1952,

    Tie Clousers in 'worm' colors (my two favorites are olive and black). Fish it like a worm (let it sink, lift the rod tip, drag it with the rod, shake it, etc.).

    Works great.

    My biggest bass ever was taken on a 6" blue plastic worm cast on a 10wt. ShakeSpeare UglyStik Bigwater flyrod. I was just showing off to prove it could be done...the bass was 10 lbs. 4 oz. and hangs on the wall upstairs. Wish I'd never had it mounted, and will never mount another.
