Description

The 4.6” TapWorm is another fantastic collaboration bait between Epic Bait Molds and Marling Baits. The body is both ribbed and tapered. The short, curved tail is very unique, featuring a slit in the thickest portion promoting extra, yet subtle, action. Combine it all and you get a beautiful “ribbon tail worm/curly tail grub” crossover! Rigging options include (but are certainly not limited to) shaky head, ned rig, neko rig, texas rig, split shot rig, full size Carolina rig… even a drop shot (who says you can’t drop shot a curly tail worm?)! Another great option would be cutting down the body 1-2” before the tail and rigging it on a small jig head (just like you’d fish a curly tail grub).
