Drop Shot Worm
4.25" Hand-Poured Finesse Worm (10-Pack)
The Butchers Baits Drop Shot Worm is a 4.25-inch finesse worm built for natural movement and subtle bites. Hand-poured in the USA by a small, family-owned maker, its rounded top and flat bottom amplify that tight, trembling action—perfect when bass are pressured, finicky, or the water’s ultra-clear.

Best Use & Conditions
-
Pressured fish & clear water: Subtle quiver shines when bass are line-shy or inactive.
-
Cold fronts & tough bites: Downsized profile maintains action with minimal movement.
-
Vertical or near-bottom work: Excellent for targeting smallmouth and largemouth relating to rock, grass edges, or suspended just off bottom.
Rigging & Tips
-
Drop Shot (primary):
-
Hook: #2–#1 drop-shot/nose hook.
-
Leader: 8–18" (shorter in cold, longer in clear water).
-
Weight: 1/8–1/4 oz for most lakes; go heavier in wind/current.
-
Presentation: Nose-hook and shake in place; let the worm tremble more than you move it.
-
-
NED Rig: 1/16–1/8 oz mushroom head; let it sit and quiver—most bites come on the pause.
-
Split-Shot: Slow-drag through sparse cover for a wounded baitfish look.
-
“Floating Worm” Presentation: Weightless on spinning gear; twitch high in the column for visual feeders (actual floatability varies by hook/line setup).
Origin & Maker
Hand-poured in the USA by Butchers Baits—family-owned, small-batch craftsmanship focused on dependable, fish-catching finesse action.
Care & Storage
-
Store flat in the original bag to preserve shape and color.
-
Keep away from heat and direct sun to prevent warping.
-
Avoid mixing with unlike soft plastics or heavily dyed colors to reduce bleeding.
