Janitor Worm
for a pre-release collective $600,000 in tournament winnings for those testing it, including its win at the Red Crest. It is made with TPE for durability and buoyancy translating into a floater minnow that can hover in the water column, extending the strike zone time. A unique characteristic are the tail tabs that provide a high-frequency wag. It can be paired to a VMC jig head, dropshotted, Ned-rigged or a variety of other methods.
The goal of the compact Crush City Hedgehog was to create a plastic creature bait with fluttery appendage action, with a secondary action between the upper and lower extremities, even at slow retrieve speeds. The raised ribs of the main body allow for Tex-posing an EWG, round bend or straight shank hook to increase hookup capability and lengthen its life on the hook. The Hedgehog is brought to life with flake, salt and scent and set to be a killer in a clear water, challenging cover situation. Sixteen colors make up the four-inch Hedgehog fam and they are packaged six to a bag.
As the Rapala’s Crush City big bass temptation, the five-inch Pig Stick is specifically poured with an integrated slot for VMC Crossover Rings. The Ring will increase life duration of the plastic when wacky or Neko-rigged. Its attributes include a fast fall with weightless rigging from added salt. Again, flake, salt and scent are additions to this unique profile. The Pig Stick is produced in a wide array of colors that include Sprayed Grass, Watermelon Red, Green Pumpkin Watermelon and even Bubble Gum. The package holds eight Pig Sticks.
Another Rapala Crush City offering for the VMC Crossover Ring is the Janitor Worm – a small, finesse plastic worm. The tapered tail was a feature to provide an action-filled quiver imparted with the minimal movement. It is six-inches long, comes in 14 bass- catching colors such as Baby Bass, Ghost Morning Dawn and the always=popular Green Pumpkin. It comes eight
to a package. •
