jdhudsonoutdoors Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I just purchased a boat and was looking through the different compartments and I stumbled upon two of these swimbaits. Anyone know the make or era that these would have been fished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingbear8 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I've never seen one in person so I may be wrong, but I think that is a Worm King Dinosaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yep..looks like a Worm King to me. Interesting back story on the Worm King baits. Run a google search on Danny Gillespie interview for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynem Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Try running "Worm King Dinosaur" up on Google and it will link to lots of great reading of the very early days of swimbaiting. Interviews with some of the first guys successfully tossing big baits including an interview Brock did with Shaun Bailey, etc. All good stuff. Fishing CA in the early and mid 90s must have been a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
