BOTTOM WORM MUTSU
The Vexed “Bottom Worm Mutsu” might be a little bit different to anything you have seen before, but that’s because VEXED has only just created this new concept off the back of its extremely successful big brother “The Vexed Bottom Meat”. Bottom Meat revolutionised reef fishing for demersal species by presenting more attractive baits and by being able to deploy baits deeper and more efficiently using less weight on lighter slow pitch jigging outfits that modern anglers prefer to use.
The Bottom Worm Mutsu has been designed as a micro version of the Bottom Meat, but for lighter outfits and smaller inshore species. It can be used on its own, or on the bottom of a paternoster rig as a “Fish Catching Sinker”. 70% or more whiting are caught on the bottom dropper hook of a traditional paternoster rig. By using the Bottom Worm Hybrid as the sinker, you now have two prime fish catching baits down on the seafloor. During our testing sessions for sand whiting and king george whiting, we caught more fish on the Bottom Worm Hybrid fished as the sinker than we did on the bottom dropper hook.
With a super sharp BKK Mutsu circle hook and a durable, stretchy little scented Vexed Bottom Worm, this will present small soft baits such as worm, pipi, squid, prawn and mussel perfectly. The Vexed Bottom Worm will suit most fish species from boat, beach, estuary, jetty or river bank.
Vexed Bottom Worm can also be jigged through structure or slowly hopped across the bottom without bait for many inshore species such as bream, flathead and whiting.
