The “‘Ed” in Pumpkin’Ed is for Edwin Evers, who created the bait. Evers wanted a jighead that stands up the biggest worms. Weights range from 3-16- to 5/8-ounce and the hooks range from 3/0 to 6/0. The worm shown is Edwin’s 11-inch MightEE Worm.

The extra-wide-bend hooks are available in sizes from 2/0 to 6/0.

Part of Planoâs Guide Series, the Hydro-Flo Tackle Bag features a clever system that allows water to flow right through the back instead of collecting and damaging contents.
