About this piece
The Galapagos LashWave 6.5 inch is a straight worm designed to balance strong water displacement with a finesse presentation. It builds on the 4-inch concept of fall-and-shake attraction, adding an enlarged profile suited for Neko rig swimming and long pauses. The fat body with a pronounced waist taper generates a delayed roll on the pause and a wide wobble during the shake, while the salt-infused material provides both stiffness for action and easy hook penetration.
Key features
- Salt-infused material balances strong water push with flesh-tear resistance.
- Weakly flattened fat body with variable-pitch ribs creates strong water displacement.
- Forward fine-pitch ribs resist folding under hard shakes; rear wide-pitch deep ribs enhance response and roll.
- Tapered waist produces a time-lag collapse on pause and a wobbling action during shake.
- Center guide line on the body aids straight rigging.
Best for
- Finesse and power techniques with Neko rig, shakey head, or offset hook.
- Clear to moderately stained water where a subtle but voluminous profile triggers bites.
- Targeting bass in open water or around sparse cover with a slow fall and pause presentation.
