This thing is HUGE!!! I know they are new but have any of you tried these out? What do you think? Is a 12" worm too big?
The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!

No matter how much we know about fishing there is always more to learn!

I don't think they're too big. I have caught fish on worms up to 18 inches. I haven't tried these particular ones yet though so I can't offer an opinion.

12" worm is just about right. My fish like them very much. I never tried the Mister Twister Mag 12 Buzz Worm though. I'm a Culprit worm guy mainly but I have a pile of Power Worms in 10" I have used a few of lately just to use them. By all means give us your take on the Mister Twister Mag 12 Buzz Worm when you have some time with them.

I haven't bought any yet...waffling between those or the Strike King Rage Thumper 10".

I don't think it's too big. The big worm is summer time deal for me. Usually the 10 inch ol monster.

I like 10 and 12 inch worms for summer and for weed beds. I dragged a 12 inch Culprit through the grass in Guntersville this year. Big fish will tear them up. Only problem I had in Guntersville was a cold front and not being able to find big fish.  ~roflmao

I do the same for summer and weed beds but these larger worms work really well in very dirty or low vizability water. That bigger profile and flopping tail, to me makes it easier for them to find. Also the bigger 12" Culprit, Mann's Jelly Worm, and 10" Berkley Power Worms can take a 5mm worm rattle pretty easily and not destroy the worm. This has also been a great help in the dirty water.

I've had luck with zoom 12 inch worms. You have to let them swallow it good or you'll jerk back just a 6" worm.

I do not use the Zoom 12" or 10" the plastic is too brittle or something. The 12" break off on nearly every fish where the hook goes through. Doesn't take long to go through a pack when there are only like 5 to a pack. I really like some Zoom stuff but their big worms suck to me. Culprit last way longer for me.

Gambler has a 16"...similar to a trick worm...think monster has them.

Bass Pro has a 16" they call the Snake Worm.

Doc Irv makes a 17" worm called the Big Bad Boy that I have used with success. I have some with floatant in them that I like to swim like a snake through lily pads. Even the little dinks try and eat that big old thing.  :-*

I like a 10" worm. I will throw a 12" from time to time and at night.

Big worms attract big fish. But don't think for a moment that a smaller fish won't eat a big worm.

Big worms are big fish catchers that's for sure.

The 12 inch worm is a go to for the Sam Rayburn anglers in Texas. 7 of the top ten in the monster tournaments they have will have a very large worm on deck. The tail on the Twister version is unique and causes a lot of vibration.

I use larger worms all season, summer and fall are obvious, but winter you can  put on a heavy weight or a naked NuTech jig and drag it in deeper water along bluff or points or creek channels. Used to win many winter tournaments out west doing this. In the spring giant worms are awesome for picking off giant bass cruise the flats waiting to be hit on by a male with a ready nest  ~shade

You do have to watch the bite for hook sets. But don't be fooled, bass instinctively strike for the head of a target. Think about swallowing. Crawfish will go down tail first, but other species of fish go down head first so that the fins don't prevent swallowing. Same with frogs. head first and legs fold back. Snakes however try to go head first so they don't drown them before swallowing.

Always make your first hook set as soon as you feel them.
