FLOATING BLACK GRAPE WORMS
FLOATING BLACK GRAPE WORMS ARE A STANDARD COLOR CHOICE
By Ken Liebeskind
Yalesville, Connecticut
When it comes to worm lures, there are scores of colors to choose from and floating black grape worms remain the most popular because they work in a variety of water conditions. The bulk of the original plastic worms were purple because purple is dark enough to contrast well in stained water and light enough to be highly visible in clear water.
Many anglers think light colored lures work best in clear water, but that doesn't explain the success of floating black grape worms in clear water. Still, many anglers prefer floating black grape worms for dark water, where dark worms perform best.

One angler who uses floating black grape worms almost exclusively to target muddy waters, said, "I really don't subscribe to the bright colors they come in. I like the plain floating black grape worms."
Another angler said floating black grape worms are really a deep blue/purple combination that is especially popular in Lake Elsinore in Southern California. He also says other color combinations, including black grape with green flake and grape with neon blue over brown are also popular.
The Walking Worm, www.scientificfishing' famous worm lure, isn't one of the floating black grape worms. It's not available in black grape, but comes in a variety of similar popular contemporary colors, including black with red fleck and electric blue. The Walking Worm is the lure that's based on patented aeronautical flutter technology that traps air between tail segments, causing it to constantly curl in the water like a live worm. In a fishing test, it beat a crank bait and another worm lure because the crank bait moved constantly but wasn't a worm and the worm lure stopped moving when it hit bottom. The Walking Worm generated repeated strikes because it moved constantly and resembled a live worm.
