Today on RetroBasson, we're going to talk about the first plastic worm ever invented. In the 1940s, in an Aquino Hio Basement, aspiring lure inventor Nick Kreme was working on a new mold for a soft plastic worm. In 1940-90 founded Kreme Lures and introduced the Wigglebait. Originally designed to mimic a live night crawler, all Wigglebaits were originally sold on harnesses just like this. However, in the 1950s, Nick noticed that a number of orders for replacement worms were coming out of Tyler Texas. They're all Lake Tyler, angers were rigging the worm with a slip sinker and a hook inserted back into the body. And thus, the Texas rig was born. The Kreme Wiggle worm was eventually renamed to Scoundrel and it's still available today. If you're looking for more old-school content, like and follow, and until next time, keep the carpet side up. And definitely, Fishy Old School.
