Have not fished much with clams lately but there was a blurb in this weeks "fisherman" pg -10-11 talking about the "deadly purple Stimpson clam..."so good it's almost unfair" and also a bit called "Reinventing the clam" and the "amazing Stimpson clam"
These are frm NY I think. I was a commerical clam digger for about 10 years in the late 70's saw them from time to time but I think they come from the really soft black mud areas and are old. The black mud I think stains the calm purple. They are really not suitable for eating, just bait. I never really used them but I sound like they stink to high hell.
You're finding they don't work as well as the sea-calm? I think a bass will eat anything but I would not be surprise to see a smelly clam attract more "trash" fish.
