Choosing a soft plastic worm starts with the presentation you want to make. A stick bait that falls on a weightless rig serves a different purpose from a long worm with a moving tail. The V&M Chopstick, Pork Pin and Wild Thang give you three distinct profiles to work with.
Chopstick: a stick bait for several rigs
The 5-inch Chopstick is a straightforward choice if you want to switch between weightless, wacky, Texas and Carolina rigs. Its salt-balanced construction supports a controlled fall. That makes the fall itself part of the presentation, rather than something to rush through before retrieving the bait.
Choose it when you want one familiar stick-bait profile that can move between several rigging approaches. The current 5-inch offering comes in a 10-pack. Select your color on the product page.
Pork Pin: a slender finesse profile
The Pork Pin comes in 6-inch and 8-inch sizes. It pairs a slender, buoyant body with a pin tail that moves with small twitches. If the Chopstick's straight stick-bait shape is not the profile you want, the Pork Pin offers a longer, finer option.
Choose between its two lengths according to how much bait you want to present. Keep the length and tail style separate in your decision: a longer bait does not automatically have a broader or bulkier profile.
Wild Thang: a longer worm with tail movement
The Wild Thang Worm is available in 8.5-inch and 10.5-inch sizes. Its distinctive tail produces a tight, rippling action. Choose it when you want a longer worm with movement coming from the tail.
