Best ways to fish it (demo)

Swim Jig Trailer Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot Natural subtle glides
Description
Profile
4.5" bot-style finesse worm with a slightly thicker body for a steadier fall and more “presence” than the ultra-finesse version.
Best for
Smallmouth and walleye when you need a subtle worm that still holds its shape and fishes clean in wind, current, or deeper water.
Action
Less fluttery, more controlled—moves on tension changes and bottom contact instead of constant quiver.
Why it shines
The extra thickness rigs straighter, stays pinned better, and gives you a more repeatable “same fall, same glide” on every cast.
When to pick the Bot Worm over the Finesse Worm: If your finesse worm is getting pushed around (wind/current), tearing too quickly, or you want a calmer look that still tracks true—this is the step up.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Drop Shot (Controlled Shake)

A “do less” worm that still reads alive.
  • Nose hook for maximum freedom; light tex-posed when zebra mussels or rock eat rigs.
  • Work it with short line-tension pops, not a constant buzz—let it settle between moves.
  • Great on edges: sand-to-rock, current seams, and the up-current side of boulders.

Neko Rig (Bottom-First)

The thicker body makes the “stand up and tip” more consistent.
  • Pin a small nail weight in the head to keep the worm tracking bottom.
  • Drag 6–18 inches, stop, then give one crisp hop to re-set the worm.
  • Money in pressured water where fish want contact, not chase.

Shaky / Ball Head (Straight Swim + Stalls)

Simple, efficient, and very repeatable.
  • Thread it perfectly straight—this profile rewards clean rigging.
  • Slow swim just off bottom, then kill it to let it settle into the strike zone.
  • Best around scattered rock, sparse grass, and hard-bottom flats.
