Our 6.5" Slinky Worm is built to flat-out trigger strikes when other worms get ignored. This is the ultimate “Trick Worm” for shaky head fishing — long, lean, and full of life. Poured with our super-soft, ultra-buoyant plastisol, the Slinky Worm stands tail-up and taunts fish with a slow, seductive quiver. Even at rest, that thick, bulbous tail never stops moving — it just dares a bass not to bite.
Because we use a low-resin plastisol blend, every worm is softer, more supple, and naturally buoyant. That means cleaner hook penetration, more lifelike action, and a floating posture that makes the worm look alive on the bottom. When you need a bait that gets noticed — and gets eaten — the Slinky Worm brings the heat.
Rigging
Rigging
The ideal rig we've found for these is fished on a Shaky Head. 7' Medium light fast tip spinning rod, on 12lb braid to a 6 or 8lb florocarbon leader. 1/4oz Shaky head jig. Cast the bait out, let it fall on semi slack line until it hits bottom, than slowly drag the bait back, keeping contact with the bottom at all times. Periodically stopping the bait, and shaking the rod tip, making the bulbous tail of the bait undulate and flutter as it stands up at a 70 degree angle off the jig head.
Additional Rigging Options:
Texas
Carolina
Shaky Head
EWG Weightless
Dropshot
Wacky
Neko
Free Rig Trailer

When thrown on a Shaky Head, cast the bait out, let it fall on semi slack line until it hits the bottom, than slowly sweep the rod, left to right, dragging the bait along the bottom. As you make contact with structure, leave it in place, and shake the rod tip ever so slightly. This will cause the tail of the worm to undulate in place as the worm is sitting tail up on the bottom. The bite usually comes while the tail is undulating.

What little bit I have used them has been rather productive. They perform much like their predecessors however I do think these are more buoyant. I have not fished it weightless yet so I can’t speak for the majority of its action. I can say without a doubt , if I’m having trouble getting bites. I can tie one of these on a Texas rig with a 1/8 oz weight and get bit. I’m love my this 20pk
Order 3 different colors and so far have used 2 and caught fish with both. The baits hold up well and aren’t destroyed after several catches.
They work great for neko rig a lot of action on the tail
Phat Pak baits are definitely the Real deal.
They make Zoom Super Flukes second rate. And if anything is wrong with order Phat Pak takes care of their customers quickly.
Definitely give these guys as much business as possible
I really like the baits. I like that they are made in the USA. I like that they float. Ilike all the colors that you have. Will buy more. Thanks.
