Okay, I’ve had some requests to post another Name That Bait blog so here it is. As with the other Name That Bait contests, you win nothing but the fact you knew what something old and obscure – wait, I’ve been called that recently – is.
Here’s this edition. This is a worm that was very popular as one of the first flipping worms but also held a very soft spot in the socal anglers’ hearts on Castaic in the smoke color. The worm has been out of production since the really early 80s (I’m talking maybe 1980) and my old boss at Bob’s Tackle in Norwalk actually went in partnership with a guy to bring the worm back around 1982. I remember this because that was the year I graduated high school. Anyway, that venture went “Chicken Fillets” up and never got off the ground, unfortunately.
Now, the problem with this is I know the name of the worm and I “think” the name of the company is the same – but I could be wrong. So, what I’m looking for here is only the name of the worm. Have at it!!

Mark….you suck…lol
DING DING DING…..We have a winner! markg you are absolutely right! Although I don’t remember the crawfish, they did have a 4-inch grub and a 5-inch worm. Good job Mark!
Hey Tater,
My guess is that it”s a bait called the “Action Lures Breathing Worm”. I’m not sure if they came in different sizes but that one, I think that one is a 6″. From what I remember, they also made a Breathing Crawfish which came with a weighted hook……

i QUIT!!!!….I call B.S.!!!!!LOL
Loathe is good at time Erick.
You are right, though, Rebel did make the ringworm.
the only thing i know is that rebel produced or invented the “ringworm”….man tator…some times i loath you LOL!!!
LOL, Turd, you sure do sound familiar with that babtisti comment. Well turd, you’re wrong. It’s not a ringworm. You, on the other hand, have ring worms. You better see the Dr for it.
Yendor, Bait Breath wasn’t even around at the time. These worms were manufactured in the 70s and the company went out of business in/around 1980. Sorry.
it is a ring worm numb nuts babtisti
‘bait Breath’
LOL! Sorry Erick but that’s the purpose of these blogs.
Man, someone out there must know what these baits are???
Keep tryin’ guys and gals!
Well ya got me…dude i cant even fake it LOL!!!
Hey xtrachewy, it is a “ringworm of sorts” but not an actual ringworm.
I have to say it looks like a ringworm of sorts…how about Curl Tail Ringer?
