Museum Archive: Mister Twister Buzz worm, red/black core fishing #18833

Red and black core coloration defines this vintage soft plastic set, a classic aesthetic choice for targeting bass in varying water conditions. These specimens remain in their original factory packaging, rated as unused (Condition 6), which has kept the 5 1/2" (14 cm) bodies supple and preserved. Each of the five Mister Twister Buzz worms showcases a deeply ribbed texture and a flat tail configuration typical of mid-1980s soft bait engineering. Manufactured in Minden, Louisiana, at P.O. Box 1152, the carding still carries an original retail price tag from Dunham’s showing $3.47 and a green discount label. Listed under product code 18833, the reverse side of the packaging features a nostalgic mail-in offer for a factory catalog and iron-on patch. The lures are neatly held in place by original white plastic clips against the yellow and white striped card, a signature branding element of the Mister Twister era.
