SKU: BW8-STRIKE KING
Overview
Built for anglers targeting larger bass, this soft plastic worm keeps the same round-ribbed profile, flat bottom, and beveled bubble tail associated with the original design while offering a slightly smaller, softer presentation. The Open Pour Technology construction is described as producing crisp, multi-layer laminates and a supple feel more often associated with hand-poured baits. With coffee scent technology and added salt, it is suited for fishing around ledges and other structure where a subtle but substantial profile is desired.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The OPT version is described as softer and slightly smaller than the original Bullworm, so anglers who want the exact original profile may notice a change in feel and size.
- Its super-soft construction is a deliberate trade-off: it may offer a more supple presentation, but it also means the bait is built differently than firmer plastics.
- The product is presented as a big-bass/ledge-fishing option, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose soft plastic.
- The coffee scent and salt are part of the design, but they do not replace the need to match the bait to the right presentation and conditions.
