Mummified wax worms

[Sculpin]

Has anyone popped for $6.00 to try the "mummified wax worms" I saw up in Scheel's the other day. They look nice, nice colors, nice packaging, and I think they came from France.?? I could be convinced, but someone else has to go first.

??? Have no idea what they are???

I have some mummified ones you can have for free.. Only come in black I'm sure I have some in one of my jacket pockets I could look for you 

 

On a serious note I have never seen them 

[Getanet]

Yeah, I dropped $6 on a pack at a bait shop in Shakopee.  Don't judge me!

 

I was planning to take my some youngsters out for sunnies or perch and assumed they were plastics like Gulp or something. Thought it might save me some time baiting hooks if the bite was hot.

 

Didn't use them that day and never looked that closely at them. When I did I thought - geez these look real life-like for artificial - they almost appear to be moving. The word "mummified" was almost rubbed off on the plastic case so I didn't know what I had until I really looked close.

 

I will hopefully get out tomorrow, and if so, I'll give them a try and report back. I can't image they wouldn't work...after all, they caught me.

 Getanet: Can't wait to hear how they work, or don't.

To your point, bait is designed to catch anglers most of the time, not fish. 

 

Good Luck, report in

If they don't work you could ask for you mummy back.

Hey getanet, can you take a pic of them for us. As i have no idea what they are.

Is this the right stuff? 

[Getanet]

Well I can state unequivocally they don't work! But apparently neither do crappie minnows or live wax worms on the lake I fished near Deerwood. Helped my dad put his house out this weekend - we fished from about 2:30 to 6pm and didn't catch a fish.

 

The picture Jim posted above is the brand and packaging I bought - except it was a variety pack of colors. The mummified worms are a little tougher and not quite a "juicy" as a live wax worm.

 

Wish I had more to report guys. I would think if the fish are biting they would work - and might stay on a little longer than live wax worms. At the very least you wouldn't have to worry about them freezing, or finding a tin of dead ones in your coat pocket or truck a month after season.

I tried them last year for crappies cause thats all they had at the bait shop for worms. I didn't have much luck on them for they sure do look real.
