I have a pack of PowerBait 3" Trout Worms laying around, and I was just wondering if anyone has tried em' in the surf? Do they produce?

Thanks

My buddy Jeff has tried them and has done well on perch with them. I believe he carolina rigged them like you would grubs. Also, a 4 inch Assalt SaltShaker worm on a small round jighead is good for larger perch and yellowfin croaker. As with the powerworm, looks like a small sand worm or clam siphon.

No one was more surprized than myself when I Carolina Rigged a Motor Oil RF 3" curly tail worm for what I thought might fool some Spotfins and wound up beaching a 27" Halibut! :-)

I have used trout worms in the surf many times and traditional freshwater bass worms as well. My favorite color for trout worms is orange which also is one of my favorite colors for perch grubs too. I can't deny the fact that Motor oil and clear red flake are great colors but there are plenty of other colors that work just as good and often even better. However very few will stray from motor and if they do it's clear red flake or just another variation of motor oil. I have used plastic trout worms to catch yellowfin croaker, perch, corbina,and halibut but I wouldn't say they work any better than grubs or swimbaits. They can be better some days but fall short on others. If the conditions are right and the fish are there anything is possible.

I've been using 4" curl tail power worms in brown and they've worked very well for yellowfin croaker and, to a lesser extent, the larger perch. Even use an offset worm hook on it, with sliding sinker. You may as well try out the trout worms.
