Hughesy Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't recall wiggle warts having 3 chambers. Just 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Bass Baits Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Right, the 3rd chamber is the figure 8 hook hanger holder, it has a peg in it to hold the figure 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Here in the Ozarks if your not throwing an old Wart you're usually not in the money. I can't say if is the bait or the guy throwing it or both but you see the best bags at a lot of tourney's come on the old warts. Not all colors are equal and it seems the best are the hardest to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Not all colors are equal and it seems the best are the hardest to find. So what are the colors that are so coveted? And since I am not a WW expert... what is the most popular size or model you guys in the Ozarks like? Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAWGFAN Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 There is 3 chambers, the chamber closest to the lip is the figure 8 hook hanger holder. I was thinking the hanger was the middle chamber, with a weight/rattle on either side. Maybe I'm mistaken. Not all colors are equal and it seems the best are the hardest to find. So what are the colors that are so coveted? And since I am not a WW expert... what is the most popular size or model you guys in the Ozarks like? Skeeter V37 Brown Craw is the one I hear the most buzz about. I've never understood the name, because it looks more red to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) The suspending models had 3 ball. The regualrs warts had 2. I think the front one was silent and the rear one rattled. Both of them lead. The suspending one had a third ball that floated around in the body cavity. Not sure what it was made of but i've seen some of them turn to powder. I cleared one out this morning and its the front chamber that has the larger lead ball and it is the one that rattles. I was mistaken on my earlier post. Skeeter, the best colors in the ozarks are v86 phantom green craw, v63 green craw, sp60 missouri craw currently on ebay for $115, v209 red craw, v62 natural brown craw, v37 brown craw, and v38 green craw. I'm sure that other people have some other favorites but these are the most popular on Table Rock. As far as size, most everybody throws the regular wart not the magnum.

bobv Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Besides the craw patterns there is a dark brown with orange belly many use in stained water. Green craw is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 If you look at your wiggle warts you can tell the front chamber has the hook hanger, there is no room to have a chamber in front of the hook hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 You're right on Jim. First chamber is the hook hanger. The the next one has the larger lead ball that rattles, and the last chamber has the smaller lead ball that is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I forgot the # of this one, I am trying to find it but this is the one used to make the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedyarb Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have another question. I've noticed on ebay, that some lures have an o ring some have oval rings and some have snap swivels, on the line tie. What's the deal? And what was the original wart supplied with?

Skeeter Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 To my knowledge, WW came with a snap. Folks have probably changed those out for split rings. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Back in the day of the original warts, the mold became worn to the point that storm tried to repair it. You can see this repair on some of them by looking for a square border or square bump around the line tie. In doing so the figure 8 line tie became somewhat buried. This did not allow the split ring free movement so they started using the snaps. I think when they started making them in Mexico they redid the mold again and went back to split rings.

And since I am not a WW expert... what is the most popular size or model you guys in the Ozarks like? Skeeter Most coveted that I know of is a "red prismflash crayfish". I think it's v196 but not certain. The colors mentioned are the best to use though as nobody in their right mind would throw this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltshaker Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Not too long ago, there was a Wart lot on eBay containing 35 or so lures. Most were common everyday colors except for the 9 Mizery Craws that were included. The lot sold for $1200. The buyer told me, "I got the others free"!!
