I just started fishing this big bait a few weeks ago.
When they become available, all Big Bass Boys need
to pick up a few bags. This is a soft plastic that will
never produce numbers, it's intimidating! For those
focused on big fish, this is going to be one of your
"go to" baits. I have only caught ten bass fishing the
Anacoda for a total of around six hours, but only one
was a "tournament bass", the rest were nice fish!

Nice to hear they're workin for you RW. When Shaw Grigsby and I did the show on them, we caught all sizes of fish from 12" to 25" and all came on the 10" model.
The 7" model is very appealing as well and actually appears slightly larger with the action....
Which color Anaconda are you fishing?
Big O
Green Pumpkin with black flakes.
I'm not saying small bass won't attack big baits,
but there is an advantage of getting past the little
guys, sometimes.
BTW, I will post something on the 7" when I run
out of the 10" Anaconda. I have not fished the
smaller version, yet.

Will it fish on top if you rig it weightless?
QuoteWill it fish on top if you rig it weightless?
No, not unless it's supported by lilly pads or thick moss.
The Anaconda is a monster!

Do you fish it like a 10 inch Berkeley power worm hop, hop drag?
Lift and drop with extended pauses.
Initially, the 10" Anaconda makes a big splash which might attract some attention, so I let it sit on the bottom for at least 30 seconds, maybe a minute. After taking up slack, I raise the rod slowly from water level to about 10 o'clock, then let the bait fall on slack line. I then take up slack and raise the rod from water level to 1 o'clock, then fall on slack line. After these two movements, I let it sit for a minute or so, then repeat.
Like any other worms or soft plastics, working the bait is only limited by your imagination!

I have seen the videos. I have heard Roadwarriors praise. Theres no doubt in my mind that I'm gonna catch some big bass with these things the action is just too sexy!
Those are some sweet lookin worms. If I can find some local I'll give'em a shot.
Yea if I could only find some place to get some before Friday night
The anacondas are some sweet worms, I had a tournament friend give me a couple to try. I haven't caught any bass with them yet but when I do I know it will be a good size bass.
The 7" is a go to when I am just fishing. The 10 inch is one of my favorite big bass baits. It has gotten to the point to where I won't target larger fish unless I have big Anacondas and Lobsters. The Lobsters are a sight to behold as well.

RW are the Anacondas available in your area right now? I want to get my hands on some Plums
Nope, not available yet, but should be soon!

Lift and drop with extended pauses
Hmmmmm. by the looks of it one would think of it as more a swimming type worm. Have you tried a bullet sinker and a steady retrieve with it?
QuoteLift and drop with extended pausesHmmmmm. by the looks of it one would think of it as more a swimming type worm. Have you tried a bullet sinker and a steady retrieve with it?
No, I haven't tried anything else unless you count the relatively short retrieve when I feel I'm "out of the zone". I'm sure other techniques would work, but I fish most soft plastics slow and on the bottom. Grubs and Kreatures are about the only exceptions.

With all this talk & videos when will we be able to buy them?
I go to the web site & nothing; It's getting to point I tired of hearing about something that you can't buy.

X2.
We've got to wait until October too!! Which means I probably won't be able to fish them much at all until next year!! That leaves a lot of time for a lot of talk and no results.
Sure wish they would have been available much closer to their "release" at iCast.
I know.
RW just like to rub it in our face.
That's all.
boy i hate to pay a dollar per worm, but i think i just might have to with these bad boys. they are just too tempting!!!!!

I hear ya man. The only thing is you can fish year 'round where you are.
I am gonna be waiting until March :-[
Rondef gave me one of the 10" Anacondas to try out today on a private lake and all I can say is....
WOW!!!!!
I caugh almost all of my fish on this bait. I only had one to use but it lasted me through about 7-10 nice bass. Only one of the bass went over 2 lbs. But I cannot wait until they come out. Great product!!!!!
You guys are teasing us...and we don't like it...I mean were jealous...I mean we can't wait to get them...I mean when in the heck are they going to be able to be purchased again????
Heck I'll ask
Surley we BR members can have access to them now, come on RW pull some strings :
I'm going to save some of my 10 inchers until fall. I'm betting it will be a killer striper bait, too.
QuoteHeck I'll askSurley we BR members can have access to them now, come on RW pull some strings :
I'm workin' on it!
Sure would like our members
to have an early shot at the bait.
You're really going to like it!

I ran into the Fishing Department Manager of our local BPS yesterday.
He told me the Anaconda should be stocked in a couple of weeks.
Check with your BPS and see when they will have their allotment.

Know canada #1 when the bait comes out it will be 7 dollars for a bag from the people who usually get the stuff first or #2 bps will get it for spring next year.

I cannot wait to get some more of these baits to slam some more nice LMB!!!!
-Nitroman
Well if its got RW talkin', then its something I need to look into ;D. The action in the video is amazing on these.
Yes they do look cool or amazing in the video. Sometimes its what catch fishermen not the fish. So lets see if a fish like it or not.
Neat concept nonetheless.
They are some sweet baits. My son and I have caught a few nice lmbs with them.
everyone says that they cant get there hands on these and every where i go they have these in 7 and 10 inch but dont know how i would fish these so; RW do u texas them? or how do u hook them?

-Nitroman
