Description

DeLong Lures 10” Weedless Twister Tail KILR Worm – Built for Big Bass and Heavy Cover

For over 70 years, DeLong Lures has set the standard for hand-poured American-made fishing baits. The 10” Weedless Twister Tail KILR Worm combines soft-plastic flexibility with Kevlar reinforcement to create a worm that moves like a real baitfish and lasts longer than any other soft plastic on the market.

Each bait is infused with natural anise oil, a scent that drives bass wild and keeps them holding on longer for a solid hook set. Whether you’re flipping into thick weeds, fishing deep ledges, or working topwater grass mats, this lure performs when others fail.

🎣 Why Anglers Choose the 10” KILR Worm

• Tournament-proven for catching trophy bass

• Kevlar-reinforced for unmatched durability

• Rigged weedless to glide through lily pads, grass, and timber

• Anise-scented to attract more bites and keep fish hooked longer

• 🇺🇸 Made in the USA using traditional hand-pouring since 1946

🌤️ When and Where to Use It

• Whether you’re fishing on sunny days or under cloudy skies, color choice matters — use Watermelon, Baby Bass, or Minnow Silver in clear water where light penetration is high, and switch to Black/Blue, Junebug, or Firetiger when the water turns stained, muddy, or after a rain for maximum visibility and reaction strikes.

• Cloudy or stained water: Go with Black/Blue, Junebug, or Purple Firetail

• Clear or sunny days: Choose Watermelon, Green Pumpkin, or Cisco Blue

• Heavy cover: Rig weedless with a light bullet weight for natural action

• Open water: Fish weightless or Texas-rigged for long, slow falls

Frequently Asked Questions — DeLong 10″ Weedless Twister Tail

🎣 How do you fish the 10″ Weedless Twister Tail?

The DeLong 10″ Weedless Twister Tail can be fished several ways depending on conditions.
For topwater, retrieve it slowly across lily pads, grass, or shallow water for explosive surface strikes.
For subsurface fishing, reel it steadily along weedlines or near structure to imitate a large worm or eel.
It’s also effective crawling on the bottom when bass are feeding before or after the spawn.

🌿 What makes it weedless?

Each 10″ Twister Tail comes pre-rigged with a custom weedless hook system, allowing it to slide through grass, pads, and debris without snagging.
This lets you fish in heavy cover where other big baits can’t go — perfect for trophy bass hiding in thick vegetation.

🇺🇸 Is it made in America?

Yes — every DeLong lure is hand-poured in Akron, Ohio, using soft plastic baked in molds for unmatched durability.
Each one is infused with anise scent to attract strikes and made with pride in the USA since 1946.

🐍 What makes the DeLong Twister Tail different from other soft plastics?

Unlike machine-molded imports, DeLong’s 10″ Twister Tail is hand-poured, anise-scented, and pre-rigged for perfect action out of the package.
The durable soft plastic holds up to dozens of fish while keeping a natural swimming motion that triggers strikes even from pressured bass.

⚡ When does it work best?

This lure performs best in warm water above 70°F, when bass are active near shallow cover.
It’s ideal for summer tournaments or calm mornings when fish are feeding on large worms and eels.
For colder water, fish it slowly along the bottom to imitate a sluggish meal.

🐟 What species can I catch with it?

While designed for largemouth bass, the 10″ Twister Tail also catches pike, musky, and even saltwater species like redfish and snook.
Its lifelike profile and scent make it irresistible to any predator looking for a big meal.

💪 How long will it last?

DeLong’s hand-poured formula is built for strength and longevity.
Most anglers report catching multiple fish on a single lure without tearing or losing action — a durability that outperforms mass-produced plastics.

💡 Pro Tip:

When fishing in heavy vegetation, try pausing the retrieve for a few seconds — bass often strike as the lure starts to fall again.
Pair it with a DeLong 16″ Snake or 8″ KILR Eel to cover both topwater and deep structure presentations.
