Trigger Worms
🔥Baxter’s Trigger Worms™
🎯“Built to trigger bites when fish won’t commit.”
“Fuzzy movement. Subtle profile. Tournament proven in NJ & PA.”
🧠 WHY THEY WORK
- Fuzzy strands create micro-movement even when sitting still
- Looks alive without over-action → key for pressured fish
- Breaks the ‘clean plastic’ look bass see every day
- Triggers reaction bites from neutral fish
🎣 HOW TO FISH IT

👉 WHY:
- Keeps bait hovering → fuzz breathes constantly
- Deadstick = still looks alive
- Perfect for clear to lightly stained NJ lakes
🔹 Neko Rig (SLEEPER)
