Doug’s Custom Lures 7.5-Inch Ribbontail Worm is a classic soft plastic bait with a twist—literally. The ribbontail design adds a seductive swimming action on the fall and during retrieves, making it a go-to bait for anglers targeting bass in a variety of conditions. Its long, tapered body and curled tail create vibrations and movement that draw fish in from a distance, whether they’re cruising shallow flats or holding deep in the structure.


This worm excels in a variety of conditions, from deep ledges to shallow grass flats. It’s especially effective when bass are lethargic, thanks to its lifelike tail movement that requires minimal effort on your part to keep it moving in the water.


The Doug’s Custom Lures 7.5-Inch Ribbontail Worm is the bait you need to tackle finicky fish or unlock a big bite when nothing else is working. Toss one on your favorite rig and watch your fishing game level up!

How to Rig Them:

  • Texas Rig: Add a bullet weight and fish it weedless in heavy cover or along structure.
  • Carolina Rig: Perfect for dragging this worm along the bottom on deep ledges or points.
  • Weightless Rig: Throw it around shallow grass or docks and let the natural fall trigger strikes.
  • Wacky Rig: Hook it in the middle for a fluttering action, especially in clear water.
  • Shaky Head: Pair it with a finesse jig head for a subtle presentation on rocky bottoms or beds.

This ribbontail worm imitates a wide range of forage depending on the environment and retrieve. It can mimic a swimming eel, a large leech, or even a baitfish with its sinuous tail movement. Its profile and action scream “easy meal” to any bass in the vicinity.


How to Fish It:

  • Slow Drag: Drag it along the bottom to kick up debris and mimic a worm or eel scurrying through the substrate.
  • Hop-and-Fall: Let it sink, then hop it off the bottom with sharp rod lifts to activate the tail’s enticing movement.
  • Steady Retrieve: Swim it slowly through the water column to imitate a baitfish or leech.
  • Dead-Stick: Let it sit still on the bottom, allowing subtle current or rod twitches to make the tail move enticingly.
  • Skipping: Use the weightless rig for skipping under docks or overhangs where big bass like to hide.
