WM Bayou Whip Worm

The Whip Worm is a finesse-style worm with a whip tail that moves on light twitches, subtle shakes, slow drags, and pauses — visible action without an overworked retrieve. Built for pressured bass that need a slower, more deliberate presentation that still looks alive. Designed to float. Hand-poured in Texas by WM Bayou. $6.99.

How do you rig the Whip Worm?

Texas rig, Neko rig, shaky head, Carolina rig, drop shot, or weightless. For Neko rigging, pair it with the Wacky-Neko Ring. Pick the rig by cover and by whether you want it crawling bottom, standing up, falling slowly, or working through grass and wood. For Neko rigs use a light-wire Neko hook and a nail weight sized to the depth and fall rate you want; for Texas rigs pair it with an EWG hook and the lightest weight that keeps bottom contact and control.

When should I fish the Whip Worm?

When bass are pressured, following but not committing, holding around cover, or feeding where a slower, more natural worm presentation triggers bites. Work it around grass edges, laydowns, brush, docks, points, creek-channel swings, and rock transitions — largemouth around the shallow cover, smallmouth around rock and clear-water structure.

How do I pick a color?

Start with water clarity and light. Natural, subtle colors in clearer water; darker, bolder, higher-contrast colors in stained water, shade, wind, or low light. If bass show interest but won't eat, change color before abandoning the presentation. Current colors: Watermelon Red, Night Sky, Oil Slick, Guacamole, Black and Blue, Green Pumpkin, Old Earl, Tilapia Magic, Bayou Ember.
