Todd Keaton – Roanoke, Virginia

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I have been using these worms for over 30 years. This is the only worm that will NOT twist your line when rigged with a straight shanked hook. I have tried other copies and molded my own like this and there's just something about the original that none can copy! Even helps if you boil them in water for about 30 seconds to soften them up and lay them straight to cool. Then put them in a box straight so they have the best action and no line twist. Best used with 2/0 hooks.

Caitlin Berchtold – Clayton, Delaware

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Almost Any Species

I've always used these lures, I even questioned an employee at Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday on why they no longer carry them. The other night some of the neighborhood boys were teasing me for using a rubber worm but a few minutes later I reeled in a 4lb largemouth bass which beat their 1/3 lb largemouth bass that they caught on a bobber with a minnow. Even a few nights ago I was fishing with one of these and the bass were going crazy for them, but not for what my 3 friends were throwing. I was the only one who brought in any fish that night. I absolutely love these lures and won't fish with anything else. I even just sent some to my boyfriend in the mail because he was asking me how I was always catching more fish than other people.

As a Fisheries Management major, as well as someone who works at an aquaculture facility, I endorse these lures 100%.

David – Houston, Texas

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I've used this work since the late 1980s. You will catch fish with these worms. Mister Twister used to be available in southeast Texas at Academy. They haven't been for a while.

I'm glad I can get them directly from Mister Twister. Otherwise I'd have to give up fishing and go back to hunting.

Alex Lopez – Manasquan Inlet, Manasquan, NJ, New Jersey

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Fish Caught: Bass, Striped

When fishing inlets in NJ, the 4" Sassy Shad on a jig head is my go to lure. I've caught striped bass and big fluke with regularity on it and have seen weakfish well over 10 pounds taken on this lure. I'm a believer for life.

John Kelland – Everywhere, Michigan

Lure: Sassy Shad®

I am a teenage angler in southeastern Michigan, and I've been introduced to hundreds of baits throughout my life. Among the immense amounts I seen, the Sassy Shad blows them all away. I've introduced the Sassy Shad to everyone I fish with, and they all love it. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you, Mister Twister, for blessing the fishing word with this amazing bait.

Ron Fletcher – Alabama River Coosa River Lake Chains, Alabama

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Striped - Catfish, Blue

I'm almost affraid to pass this on. Y'all will fish the lakes out. But here goes.
Take a three way swivel and tie to main line then tie one 12" 20 lb braid leader to swivel and one Sassy shad. Then tie an 18" leader same lbs and another sassy Shad.
Use the Shad with hooks only no weights.
Like shooting fish in a Barrel. Stripes and Large Mouth. Big Blue Cats at the Dams too.

Jody Harris – Lake Murray, South Carolina

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Fish Caught: Bass, Striped

After fishing for Striped Bass on Lake Murray in SC for 25 years I have found this bait to catch 50% of all the fish. We have fished 32 days straight and got fish 31 of those days. Pearl White is all I have tried but it works so why try something different. Keep up the good work.

Ali Poursafar – San Francisco, California

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Striped

I have been fishing for striped bass every spring and summer since I was 10( I am now 25). I noticed that the Mr.Twister phenom worm by FAR out produced any other worm trailer I had ever used. These are the best worm tails on the market especially when it comes to using them as trailers for striped bass !

Danny Harrell – Norris Lake Maynardville, Tennessee

Lure: Twister Classic Thunderworm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

One of my most favorite worms. I won a tourament with this worm fishing about 40 feet deep in 1993. 4 fish in four casts. I don't fish touraments anymore, but still fish this worm. I'm glad to see this worm back. It will help you catch some nice fish. I've caught alot of fish on these worms. I fished mostly at night. I only have two packs left and had to buy them in Middlesboro,Ky. 40 miles away. I hope Mister Twister keeps making them. Good luck fishing,...... Danny.

Kenny Ratliff – Kentucky Lake, Kentucky

Lure: Twister Classic Thunderworm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I haven't gotten to fish like I used to in the past year or so. The last time I was on Kentucky Lake, I had a great day catching bass using the Thunderworm. Prior to that, I had discovered how effective this plastic worm is. This is the ONLY plastic worm that I use and am overjoyed that it has been brought back! Thanks for doing so!

Chris – Lake Joe Pool, Cedar Hill, Texas

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, White - Crappie (Black) - Crappie (White)

This is an amazing product! I like to use with a 1/8 jig with a small bobber. I catch crappie and bass on almost every cast.

Rich Cal – 1000 Islands Region Of NY, New York

Lure: Twister Classic Thunderworm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Pike, Northern

Some time ago, a freind of mine and I were talking about how great the old Thunder Worm was to fish "way back then". Now that it's back, I've been fishing it more than other worms and have fallen in love with it again. The wide tail provides a ton of vibration whether you're working the bait in the weeds, on the bottom or swimming it slowly and it provides a nice slow fall. What a great bait.

Michael Gena – Canoe Lake, Hollidaysburg, PA, Pennsylvania

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I have been using soft plastic baits for over 20 years, but, when I decided to try the Phenom Worm about 8 years ago I was pleasantly surprised. It out-produced any worm I have ever used. Especially the pumpkin pepper. I fish it without any weight letting it sink slowly down. Usually the bass will strike it while it is sinking. Another tatic I like is skimming it across the water like a surface lure. Bass go crazy on this and attack it like its the last food they will ever get. It works especially well in weedy lakes when you sink it in the small clearing near the weed bed.

Mister Twister Saltwater Sassy Shad 4 inch Chartreuse Flake - this is my No.1 lure for walleyes. With the perfect round shape tail which produce a large turbulence, this lure is more efficient than other soft plastics. This spring I exclusive use only this lure for over 25 game fish!

Christian Cardona – Las Vegas, Nevada

I used the chartreuse Sassy Shad for 5 years now,
it's the best river and stream bait I have ever used in my life!!!!
I caught striper, small and largemouth bass, bluegill,crappie, sunfish, mackerel, bullhead, bullfrogs even and last year I landed huge 5 pound rainbow trout with it on 2 pound line,
This is always in my tackle box, and it will stay there as long as I live!!!!

Rodney Willis – Minidoka County, Idaho

Lure: Sassy Shad®

I have been using a 2 1/2 inch Sassy for many years. This bait has caught smallmouth, largemouth, walleye and trout along with carp and catfish. I've used it on rivers(snake) and many different reservoirs. When I'm not sure what to use I start with this bait or when things are slow I will go to this bait with great success.

Pat Chavez – Albuquerque, New Mexico

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Just returned from another successful fishing trip to Elephant Butte Reservoir, where my partner and I caught limits of white bass on the Pearl white 3" Mister Twister Sassy Shad, I rely on this lure for white bass, walleye and black bass. When I fish for Stripers or Lake trout I switch to the saltwater 4" & 6" Twister Sassy Shad and once again my favorite color, Pearl white.

Rusty Reiman – Yankton, South Dakota

Lure: Sassy Shad®

I found a couple years ago that using a Mister Twister Pearl White 3" Sassy with a northland 3/8 oz. either an orange and yellow or a pearl and blue stand-up jig off the Gavins Point Dam border waters is the way to catch 30 to 40 walleye or sauger a day starting the last week of Oct. to ice up. No one was using this until I showed them and now if they are quick enough they catch'em too. These things combined with the right jig and color rock thanks for an awsome product, without it I wouldn't be eating fish all winter long. Thanks again.

Larry Convery – EastBrady, Pennsylvania

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Caught every fish that is around here on a Sassy Shad from crappie to hybrid stripers. Love these things, good lure from Spring 'til Fall .

Bigmanbassin – Louisiana

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I have used Mister Twister 6" Curly Tails color: purple with white tail for years. I can honestly state that I have caught more bass on this worm than any other plastic lure I have used. Bass just love them. I normally throw this worm using a size: 2.0 offset hook with an 1/8 oz bullet weight rigged Texas stype. Just throw this worm in and around brush or fallen trees and hold on Mister Twister. Try these worms sometime you'll be glad you did.

Rich Calabrese – Rochester, New York

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

This is a great worm, simple is better many times.
I fish it two ways, slow and slower. Fish it on a 1/8oz jighead on the bottom shaking it while dragging it, or a 1/16oz swimming it slowly along the bottom or over deep weeds.
Texas rig it with a 1/8 or 1/4 bullet weight. Use your confidence color.

Peter Becher – West Milford, New Jersey

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth

I have been using Mister Twister Purple 6" Phenom Worms for the last 4-5 year now, it's the best preforming plastic worm that I use, it out preforms Zoom, Berkley Power Baits and Gulp. It's Plastic content is much more durable then its above mentioned competitors, yet it is soft enough not to loose its flexability and action. It will hold up to numerous Bass hookings and bite misses making it more economical
to use then the other brands. And Mister Twisters price per quanity is just another plus. Try them Texas or Carolina Rigged, "They Preform For Me!!"

alex loubere – DeKalb, Illinois

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth - Pike, Northern

Sassy Shad easily make my top five best lures of all time. Pike and smallmouth just love them in the four inch size. Largies also gobble them up like the are the real thing. The first bait I look to when I come across a deep hole in a river.

Alex Loubere – DeKalb, Illinois

Lure: Sassy Shad®

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth

The Sassy Shad is one of the best lures I've ever used. The two and a half and three inch versions are great for bringing up huge smallmouth and largemouth bass, and the four incher gets ferrocious strikes from northern pike. I'm looking forward to trying it out on musky this season, I don't think I'll be dissappointed. Certainly in my top five favorite lures, you need to try this lure!

Joseph Rizzo – San Francisco, California

Lure: 6" Phenom® Worm

Smoke pepper Mister Twister Tail I have found work the best in clear water lakes. I have been useing this worm for all of my bass fishing techniques. Nothing comes even close to the Phenom Worm. I am talking about a worm that produces multiple hits untill it is not able to be used anymore.
