Regretfully, a fishing legend has passed away. Tom Mann, of Alabama, was the inventor of the famous "Jelly Worms", the Little George tail spin and Humminbird depthfinders. Tom has his own fishing t.v. show for many years and was a popular seminar speaker.

Ahhhh, remember the Jelly Worm well. In fact, I still have some among my tackle. He will be missed but leaves behind a legacy, known by all who started bass fishing way back when.

Tom Mann was a pivotal part of Bass Fishing's progress and history.
And he was a good man, sad to see news of his passing.
As with other men of his stature, such as Virgil Ward, he will be missed.
