First off, BE SAFE, high water can present some serious life threatening hazards.. If the water is blown out bad and a raging river of death, don't chance it. No fish is worth putting yourself in danger!
I love the Squirmy Wormy, especially in high off-colored water. The problem is that Squirmies fall apart very easily and are not durable at all. My friend Devin Olsen came up with a solution, it's called the DNA Worm. About a million times more durable, and still has great movement. I may be switching over for good!
