Description
A simple solution panfish can’t resist
The DeLong Corn Borer fills a gap every casual angler runs into — when you need a wax worm-style bait but don’t want to deal with live bait.
Designed to resemble a wax worm, the Corn Borer is pre-rigged and ready to fish, making it one of the easiest bluegill and panfish lures you can use.
Just tie it on, add a bobber, and start catching fish.
Perfect for kids and casual fishing
The Corn Borer is ideal for:
-
fishing with kids
-
quick trips to the pond
-
anglers who don’t want to rig bait
-
situations where live bait isn’t available
Its simplicity keeps kids engaged and helps new anglers catch fish fast — which is exactly how lifelong anglers are made.
How to fish the Corn Borer
Fishing the Corn Borer couldn’t be easier:
-
Tie directly to your line
-
Add a bobber
-
Optionally add a small split shot
-
Cast and wait
For even more bites, tip the hook with a small piece of real wax worm. This often outperforms live bait alone and gives you the best of both worlds.
Built to last and catch more fish
Like all DeLong Lures, the Corn Borer is built using proven methods that have worked since 1946:
-
Hand-poured soft plastic for durability
-
Pre-rigged with a size 8 hook
-
Anise scent mixed directly into the plastic so it lasts longer
-
Designed to outlast live bait and standard soft plastics
It’s also a great backup bait for catching cut bait when wax worms aren’t available.
A better alternative to live bait
Unlike live wax worms, Corn Borers:
-
don’t die
-
don’t rot
-
don’t require refrigeration
-
are always ready to fish
Keep a pack in your tackle box and you’ll always be prepared.
