The Vexed Bottom Meat is the original hybrid bait and jig system, revolutionising the way anglers target demersal reef species in deeper water. Developed by Paul "Willy" Willis while fishing off the coast of Western Australia, this innovative design combines the effectiveness of natural bait with the efficiency and presentation of modern slow-pitch jigging.
Designed to get baits to the bottom quickly and efficiently, the Bottom Meat allows anglers to fish lighter weights, thinner PE braid and more responsive jigging outfits, delivering improved bait presentation, greater sensitivity and a more enjoyable fight.
Unlike traditional paternoster rigs, the Bottom Meat offers a streamlined, direct presentation that keeps your bait in the strike zone while maintaining excellent contact with the bottom. It's a highly effective technique for targeting snapper, dhufish, coral trout, nannygai and a wide range of other reef species.
Since its introduction, thousands of Australian anglers have embraced the Bottom Meat system as a highly effective alternative to conventional bottom fishing rigs.
Available in 20g, 40g, 60g, 80g, 110g, 150g, 200g, 250g, 300g, 350g and 500g models to suit everything from shallow inshore reefs to serious deep-water fishing.
Vexed Bottom Meat – because good things come to those that bait!
