Been putting some work in with Cultiva Microworm in recent days. Paired it up with a 1g Shimano Soare Skip Head.

Even though the cooler weather (some nights below freezing again) and some rain slowed down the bite, the worm seems to work on gills pretty well, whether jigging or under a float.

I have an even skinnier worm from Nikko I want to try next.
Bet those would work great on a drop shot rig .
Good call. Might have to give that a try!
Pretty fish. I’ve had both the jig head and Cultiva worm for years. I’ve tried a lot of JDM micro plastics. Personally I’ve not had a lot of success with them. One exception was the Cultiva Ring Kick Tail. Sometimes I just open up my box of JDM plastics just to look at them….LOL. They do make a quality plastic for sure.

Certainly gets the job done
I have used the Nikki worm, very similar, with great success on Crappie and Bluegill. Good catches.
Cool looking worm and it clearly does the job. Looks to be a curl tail with no curl? Pretty neat.
The fish certainly liked it
Beautiful looking catch. Thanks for the report on what you were fishing with.

Nice colors on those, looks like a great day !
With the success of the Cultiva Microworm, I thought I'd give the Nikko Pin Straight worm (I guess) 1.9 inch a try the last few days.

This lure is even thinner than the Microworm but very durable. I had a few tail bites by small ones and no tearing. All the Nikko lures I've used (like the Hellgrammite) are good for dozens and dozens of fish.

Quite a few caught and some of good size (and several Crappie, not pictured).

Almost felt bad catching this one. He's had some tough times previously!

Nikko calls these ultra-finesse soft plastics. I call them fish catchers!
I've fished the Nikko pin worm a lot and it's great. Super durable and the fish love it. Looks like your fish liked it too.
Nice fish and pics.
I have a mold for a 1.8 Troutino worm. The gills really seem to like it.
Nice ketches , interesting stuff , congrats and KABOOM
Yeah, that one injury was pretty bad. Something took a big chomp right there.

I got the Nikko delivers today. Postage was a joke through Amazon. But they are cool looking. What weigh jig would you use?
Kinda looks like a Cubby Mini-Mite without the cone end on the tail. :scratchhead
He's using a 1gram jig ... so your closest bet would be 1/32oz (I think) :scratchhead (or a 1/24oz, which is slightly heavier than 1gram)Quote:

Nice catch. I've never fished for bream on a jig before. That's interesting.
These look interesting

The panfish bug I tie looks similar to that worm when it is wet. No wonder it works so well for me.
