The Vexed Bottom Worm Longshank Hybrid brings the innovative design of the hugely successful Bottom Meat to a smaller, finesse-style jig, purpose-built for targeting whiting, bream, flathead and other popular inshore species.
Designed to be fished independently or as a "fish-catching sinker" on a traditional paternoster rig, the Bottom Worm creates an additional strike opportunity right on the seafloor. With whiting commonly taking the lowest hook, replacing your standard sinker with a baited Bottom Worm puts another irresistible presentation in the strike zone. During testing on King George and sand whiting, the Bottom Worm consistently outfished the bottom dropper hook.
Featuring a razor-sharp BKK longshank hook and a durable, stretchy, scented Vexed Bottom Worm, this clever hybrid jig is ideal for presenting small, soft baits including pipis, worms, squid, prawns and mussels. Its compact design delivers a natural presentation while maintaining excellent bottom contact.
It can also be fished without bait, slowly hopped along the bottom or jigged through structure to entice aggressive strikes from whiting, bream, flathead and other inshore favourites.
