Description
The best big‑bass lure for spring and fall
Use the 8″ Bass Witch when water is cold before the spawn or again as temperatures drop late in the season. This bait has a use that’s hard to beat for big bass: cast it into deep water that leads to shallower structure, work it slow, give it long, quick pulls, then pause. The lure rises, then drops straight down, looking like a large, easy meal when bass are trying to fatten up for the spawn or for winter. That slow, vertical fall is what triggers the truly big fish.
This same lure can also be worked as a jerk bait through the entire summer, so it’s not a one‑season tool — it becomes a year‑round big‑bass option.
A true classic, built the original way since 1946
The Bass Witch is one of the original rubber‑worm designs created by David DeLong in 1946. It’s hand‑rigged internally with 40‑lb braided Kevlar, and hand‑poured, not injection molded. That combination gives unmatched durability, action, and longevity — something today’s injection‑molded plastics can’t replicate. This design has been catching huge bass for over 75 years and remains unique in the market. Delong Lures
There’s even historical discussion in bass‑fishing circles noting DeLong’s early role in soft‑plastic worms and their long legacy among anglers. Bass Fishing Guide
