A piece of fishing history brought back

The 4.5″ KILR Worm is a true classic — a three-hook worm first made by David DeLong in 1946. For decades, this small worm helped define bass fishing, and to this day we still receive calls every week from anglers asking for it by name.

That demand is why we brought it back in the same old-school colors that anglers trusted for over 75 years.

If you’ve ever fished with an older angler, chances are you’ve heard stories about this worm — and how many fish it caught.


How to fish the 3-hook worm (the forgotten art)

Fishing the KILR Worm is often called “do nothing fishing”, and that’s exactly what makes it so deadly.

This technique teaches patience and control of the entire water column:

  • Cast and allow the bait to free-fall

  • Watch your line closely

  • Retrieve slowly or use countdowns

  • Fish it anywhere from top to bottom

This method is especially effective pre-spawn, when bass are staging and looking for easy meals. Watching your line jump on the fall never gets old — and it still works as well today as it did decades ago.


Why three hooks matter

The KILR Worm features three size 2 hooks molded into the body, dramatically increasing your odds of hooking fish whether they strike short, grab the middle, or inhale the bait.

This design was built for:

  • higher hookup ratios

  • slower presentations

  • finesse and patience fishing

It’s underrated, almost forgotten — and incredibly effective.


Built the DeLong way since 1946

Every 4.5″ KILR Worm is made using the same commitment to quality DeLong Lures has been known for since the beginning:

  • Hand-poured soft plastics

  • Hand-tied internal rig with 15 lb braid for durability

  • Anise scent mixed directly into the plastic

  • Designed to last far longer than standard worms

Our goal isn’t flash — it’s to earn lifelong customers who pass these lures down just like the stories.


A worm for anglers who know

This bait isn’t about trends or social media. It’s about results. The anglers buying this worm already know what it does — and now the next generation gets a chance to learn why it earned its reputation.
