Gear Review: Storm Original Deep Wiggle Wart

WHAT IS IT?

Storm Deep Wiggle Wart

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Boasting the Original Wiggle Wart’s time-tested, proven action, Storm’s newest iteration of its classic diver runs at depths from 11 to 13 feet. Created from Storm’s original molds, the Deep Wiggle Wart features the inimitable wide-wobbling action and rattle that mimics the movement and sound of crawfish. The Deep Wiggle Wart measures 2 inches and weighs 7/16 ounce. It comes armed with two No. 4 premium black-nickel VMC treble hooks. Available in 25 color patterns. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

Wiggle Warts are a staple of spring fishing, when bass move shallow and are feeding on crawfish. Cranking the bait to deflect off rock and wood add even more strike appeal to its already enticing action. Now, Wiggle Wart fans have a deep diver that adds a new dimension to fall and winter tactics.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

Because most crankbaits run true and straight, they trigger strikes best when bounced off cover. The Wiggle Wart replicates that action without needing cover, making it an ideal open water choice for suspended bass in the winter. Come spring, you can probe deeper depths never before reachable with a Wiggle Wart. Either way, this new release gives the bass a different bait profile and look.
