Description

5 per pack. This bait imitates the Margined Madtom that inhabits rocky riffles in small and medium sized rivers along the Appalachian Mountain Range from Southern Quebec to Northern Georgia. This bait pairs great with the 4/0 and 5/0 Hayabusa Wide gap weighted screw lock, which is now available on our site! Can also be paired with a 3/0 Spider Wide Gap Hook from Slider or a 3/0 or 4/0 Swingin' Rugby Jig from VMC.

Field Notes

This is a soft-plastic bait designed to imitate a small madtom and work around rocky riffles and river structure. Rig it on a wide-gap hook or a swing head/jig and fish it along bottom, hopping or swimming it through current seams and rock cover.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish/bottom-forage profile
  • Good for rocky river cover and current
  • Versatile rigging options with hooks or jig heads

Cons

  • Soft plastic can tear after repeated fish
  • Best use is more specialized than a general-purpose worm
