I have an old friend that says they are the best, the old ones that is, and he was always stopping by old hardware stories etc. looking for the old one. He said the new ones just were not near as good as the oldies. Just looking in BPS and Cabelas catalog and see they have them there with plastic lips or so it looks like, I thought they had metal lips, may be wrong, but do see the Hot'NTot has a metal lip.

Best I remember the Wiggle Worts had plastic lips. I used to have a few but I lot them dadgummit.

I figured I may be wrong about the Wiggle Wart as I never owned any. I did fish with Hell Benders, Water Dogs and Bombers, caught a lot of bass on the Christmas Tree Bomber. BPS and Cabelas has some Wiggle Warts, said to be the old original style.

Warts always had the plastic lips. The new ones run as good as the old one. It's just a lot of the old colors were great, but so specific to species that they quit making them.

I guess the 16 I bought for 32 bucks may not be money completely wasted. The colors were just ugly. I think I'll try a repaint on a couple and see how it works out.

You did good.....if you want your money back just hollar.
