The Worm That Started It All
The 6″ Weedless KILR Worm was the first weedless soft-plastic worm ever made, created by David DeLong in 1946. Long before modern rigs and trends, anglers were catching bass by keeping things simple—and it still works today.
This is the same style of worm many anglers grew up fishing. When it became hard to find, we didn’t just look for another option—we bought the company to keep it alive.
When fish eat worms, this is the worm they eat.
Simple, Weedless, and Proven
Pre-rigged worms have been used successfully for over 75 years for one reason: they work.
The 6″ Weedless KILR Worm lets you:
-
fish weeds and lily pads without constant snags
-
spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging
-
keep things simple while still catching fish
K.I.S.S. — Keep It Simple, Stupid.
How to Fish the 6″ Weedless KILR Worm
This bait excels when slowly worked along the bottom. Drag it, pause it, and give it short jerks to mimic a worm moving through cover.
In the summer, it can also be fished faster near:
-
weed edges
-
lily pads
-
shallow cover
Quick jerks and pauses around cover often trigger reaction strikes from bass.
Built to Hook and Hold Fish
Every 6″ Weedless KILR Worm comes ready to fish with:
-
Two molded-in 2/0 hooks for higher hook-up rates
-
Hand-tied internal rig made from 40lb braided Kevlar line
-
Hand-poured soft plastic for durability
-
Anise scent mixed directly into the plastic so it lasts longer
When a fish hits, the odds are high it gets hooked—and stays hooked.
