Trophies or Trees Baits
Trophies or Trees – 4.5" Coreshot Hellgrammites
Coreshot contrast + hellgrammite profile for river and finesse work.
This 4.5" soft bait matches a dobsonfly larva silhouette and uses coreshot construction for depth and visibility—great in current seams, riffles, and along rock transitions for bass that live on insects and invertebrates.
Rigging & Specs
- Length: 4.5" hellgrammite profile.
- Construction: Coreshot (colored core with contrasting outer layer).*
- Targets: Smallmouth, spots, river bass; trout crossover possible.
- Rigging: 1/16–1/8 oz finesse jig head, ned head, nose-hook drop shot, light Texas.
- Presentation: Crawl over gravel/rock, pendulum through seams, pause in eddies.
*Coreshot = a visible inner core encapsulated by a different-color outer skin for contrast and depth.
Why We Carry It
It solves a real problem: catching pressured river bass that ignore bulkier profiles. The coreshot core adds visibility without losing “buggy” realism, and the 4.5" length threads the needle between presence and finesse.
