The so-called “trick” worm is a straight soft-plastic worm that measures 6 to 7 inches long. Unlike traditional worms, it does not possess a tail designed for swimming action. It comes in natural-appearing colors, but is also often seen in bright hues like bubblegum pink, yellow, white, and chartreuse. Originating from a specific brand name for a type of lure, the term “trick worm” is now widely used for similar products across various manufacturers. This type of worm is effective in catching largemouth bass in lakes and ponds, particularly during the post-spawn season.
