“A must-have for any serious angler!”
I’ve been using the Original Wiggle Wart for over a decade, and I can confidently say it has outperformed almost every other crankbait I’ve tried. Its erratic swimming motion mimics a distressed baitfish perfectly, making it irresistible to bass. I recently took it out on a lake known for finicky fish, and within minutes, I had a solid strike. The hooks are razor-sharp and hold up well, even after multiple catches. If you’re looking for a lure that consistently delivers results, this is it!

“Deep water fishing just got better!”
I recently added the Original Deep Wiggle Wart to my tackle box, and I’m blown away by its performance. I often fish deeper lakes, and this lure reaches the right depth effortlessly. It has a unique wobble that drives fish crazy, and I’ve landed some of the biggest walleye of my life using it. The durability is excellent, even after hitting rocks and logs. It’s now my go-to lure whenever I need to get down deep and trigger a reaction bite.

“MadFlash makes all the difference!”
I fish a lot of stained water, and visibility is always an issue. That’s why I picked up the Wiggle Wart MadFlash, and let me tell you—it’s a game-changer. The reflective finish and 3D eyes make it stand out, and the fish just can’t resist. I’ve caught steelhead and salmon with this lure in rivers where other baits have failed. It’s incredibly well-built, and the hooks are top-notch. If you need a lure that performs in low-visibility conditions, you won’t regret getting the MadFlash.
Wiggle Wart FAQ
What makes the Wiggle Wart different from other crankbaits?
The Wiggle Wart is famous for its “hunting action,” an erratic side-to-side darting movement that occurs naturally during the retrieve without the angler needing to twitch the rod.
Which fish species are most commonly caught with Wiggle Warts?
While they are primarily a staple for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass, they are also highly effective for targeting walleye and salmon due to their aggressive vibration and crayfish-like profile.
What is the best season to fish a Wiggle Wart?
These lures are legendary in the spring and late fall when water temperatures are cooler and fish are actively feeding on crawfish near rocky shorelines and secondary points.
How deep does a standard Original Wiggle Wart dive?
The standard model typically dives between 7 and 12 feet depending on the line weight used, though thinner fluorocarbon lines can help the lure reach its maximum depth more efficiently.
Why do anglers look for “Pre-Rapala” Wiggle Warts?
Serious collectors and tournament anglers often seek “Pre-Rapala” versions (made before 2001) because they believe the older plastic molds and specific rattles produced a unique sound and hunting action that is difficult to replicate.
What line setup is recommended for these lures?
Most pros recommend using 10lb to 12lb fluorocarbon or monofilament on a medium-action cranking rod to allow the lure to move freely while providing enough “give” so the fish can fully inhale the bait.
