Description
A big worm built to catch big fish
The 9″ KILR Worm is a true big-fish magnet. Designed with three hooks molded directly into the body, this large pre-rigged worm dramatically increases hook-up percentages and durability compared to standard soft plastics.
Outside of the legendary 16″ Snake, this is the largest pre-rigged bass worm on the market today.
Why pre-rigged worms still work
Bass lures with hooks molded in have stood the test of time for a reason:
-
higher hook-up ratios
-
slower, more natural presentations
-
longer-lasting lures
-
fewer missed fish
The KILR Worm uses two 3/0 hooks near the front and one size 1 hook in the tail, helping hook bass whether they strike short, grab the middle, or inhale the bait head-first.
Fish it year-round with confidence
The 9″ KILR Worm can be fished any time of year, but excels when bass are looking for a large, easy meal.
Effective techniques include:
-
slow retrieves
-
free-fall presentations
-
countdowns through the water column
-
fishing staging areas before the spawn
This is a classic “do-nothing” style worm that rewards patience and line watching — a forgotten but deadly approach.
Built the DeLong way since 1946
Every 9″ KILR Worm is made using the same proven methods DeLong Lures has used for generations:
-
Hand-poured soft plastic
-
Hand-tied internal rig using 40 lb braided Kevlar line
-
Anise oil mixed directly into the plastic for long-lasting scent
-
Designed to outlast standard pre-rigged worms
This is not a disposable bait — it’s built to keep fishing.
A legacy worm anglers still seek out
Anglers continue to find and buy this bait organically because it works. Many discover it the same way others have for decades — through word of mouth, old-timer recommendations, and proven results on the water.
