Best ways to fish it (demo)
Swim Jig Trailer
Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig
Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head
Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
How, where, and why it excels
Carolina Rig (light • 1/8–1/4 oz • 18–30" leader)
When & where: Gravel points, saddles, outside grass edges.
How: Slow pull‑pause; feed slack to let the worm settle horizontally and breathe.
Why: Covers water with a natural worm glide that gets bit when chunkier plastics fail.
Drop Shot (nose‑ or wacky‑hooked)
When & where: Vertical rock, shade lines, bluff ends, and deep marks on electronics.
How: Hold in place with tiny shakes; long pauses; occasional slow swim‑backs.
Why: 5.5" adds presence yet remains finesse—great for pressured smallmouth and spots.
Neko Rig (1/32–3/32 oz nail)
When & where: Rock/gravel transitions and isolated hard spots.
How: Short pulls; let it nose‑stand; 2–4 sec pauses between moves.
Why: Nail weight drives bottom contact while the tail quivers on slack.
Standard (Ball) Jig Head / Shaky (1/16–1/8 oz)
When & where: Banks, transitions, and river seams; brush with open lanes.
How: Slow crawl and creep; subtle hops after deflections; keep bottom contact honest.
Why: Bread‑and‑butter finesse worm delivery that catches fish year‑round.
Texas Rig (weightless or 1/16–1/8 oz)
When & where: Brush, docks, grass lanes.
How: Skip; semi‑slack fall; gentle twitches to trigger the tail shimmy.
Why: Weedless control with a natural, horizontal glide.
Wacky Jig Head (1/16–3/32 oz)
When & where: Points, marina walls, and deep docks.
How: Count‑down; lift 6–12"; pendulum back on semi‑slack; pause.
Why: Balanced fall with a tighter “U” swim than weightless.
Wacky Rig (O‑ring recommended)
When & where: Docks, overhanging shade, calm pockets.
How: Skip; count 5–8; lift 6–8" and let it fall; repeat.
Why: Classic shimmy that convinces pressured fish in clear water.
Weightless Rig (situational)
When & where: Calm mornings and tight cover where silent entry matters.
How: Cast past target; glide; subtle shakes near the ambush point.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Length trim: Shorten 1/4–1/2" for ultra‑clear days or bedding fish.
- O‑rings: Use thicker rings for salty batches; nail weight to speed fall when needed.
- Hook sizes: Wacky #1–1/0; Texas 2/0–3/0 EWG/straight‑shank; Neko #1–1/0 with 1/32–3/32 nails.
Color Classes
Naturals (Green Pumpkin / Watermelon / Browns) — clear, sunny, pressured
- Why: Mimics bluegill/craw cues without flash.
- Use: Wacky/weightless around docks and grass edges; Neko on gravel.
Shad / Pearl / Smoke — baitfish, bright days, suspended fish
- Why: Clean baitfish silhouette that flashes on stalls.
- Use: Wacky jig head (count‑down) or light Texas swim‑and‑glide.
Craw / Reds / Oranges — wind over rock, spring/fall transitions
- Why: Bottom‑contact craw signal for Neko/Texas on rock.
- Use: Neko with pauses after deflections; spot‑dye tail in stain.
Dark / Silhouette (Black Sapphire / Junebug) — mud, low light, night
- Why: Maximum contrast for tracking.
- Use: Texas/weightless with longer pauses; add scent.
Specs & Build
- Length: 5.5" (140 mm)
- Profile: Straight‑tail finesse worm with balanced salt for horizontal fall and subtle shimmy

Proof & Community
On‑the‑Water Notes
- High pressure, bluebird: Weightless wacky under shade—count longer on the initial fall.
- Wind on rock: Neko with short pulls; many bites come right after a deflection.
- Shallow grass lanes: Texas weightless; glide and kill near holes in the grass.
Q&A
Q: Why 5.5" instead of 4.5" or 6.5"?
A: It’s the do‑all finesse size—casts easily on 6–10 lb line, shimmies on the fall without overpowering finesse hooks, and appeals to both numbers and quality fish.
Q: What hook sizes pair best?
A: Wacky #1–1/0 (O‑ring recommended). Texas with 2/0–3/0 EWG or finesse straight‑shank. Neko with #1–1/0 and 1/32–3/32 oz nails.
