5” Stick Worm — The Ultimate Do-Everything Bass Worm
Subtle fall. Natural shimmy. Non-stop versatility.
The Baitlicious 5” Stick Worm is the classic bass-catching shape that works anywhere, anytime. Hand-poured in small batches and salt-bagged for ideal fall rate, this worm delivers the natural shimmy and lifelike sink that triggers bites even from the most pressured Florida bass.
Perfect for finesse anglers and tournament fishermen alike, the 5″ Stick Worm excels in clear water, shallow flats, grass edges, and around docks. Whether you fish it weightless, wacky, Texas-rigged, or on a Neko setup, this worm produces consistent strikes day in and day out.
If you need a reliable, confidence-building bait when the bite gets tough — this is it.

“Catches fish anywhere — ponds, canals, and lakes.”
I’ve used a ton of stick worms, and these absolutely compete with the big companies. The salt content and softness feel just right. I’ve caught bass in shallow ponds, canal seawalls, and grass lakes. It’s become a confidence bait for sure.

Picked up a few packs at the mobile tackle shop — they flat-out work.
Stopped by the Great Outdoors Shops trailer and grabbed a couple packs. Fished the 5” Stick Worm weightless around the pads and caught 7 bass in an hour. Great quality plastics and Drew is great to deal with at the mobile shop. I’ll be back for more.
