Quick take
A 3.65-inch worm with a bulky yet finesse-rigged profile and thin tail that moves with subtle action.
The Baby D Bomb is a 3.65-inch soft plastic creature bait, a smaller relative of the D Bomb with a compact yet bulky profile. Its thinner ribbed body takes a 3/0 flipping hook for Texas rigging, and it works just as well on a shaky head or drop shot for finesse fishing. The green pumpkin red color gives bass anglers a classic pattern to start with.
Best for
- Texas rig presentation in heavy cover
- Shaky head rigs for sight fishing smallmouth

Skip if
- You need a large worm over 5 inches
- You fish saltwater
Strengths
- Thin tail provides subtle action that attracts bass

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
