Bass Fishing Tackle| Getting Medieval on Your Bass

It looks like a weapon a knight would choose for medieval battle. Maybe an old-fashioned farming utensil like a scythe. Whatever it was made to mimic, it does a better job suggesting a variety of forage profiles. We’re talking about the tail. The tail of a new worm from Get Five Lures called the Dinero.
The worm has a unique, tail and action, and we like that it was made from scratch so that it wasn’t a copy or improvement on an existing bait. Back to the forage profiles. This bait can mimic a baitfish, a crawfish and even something like a leech. While it doesn’t look exactly like any one species, it gives the appearance of many different living creatures.
When we first got the bait we were immediately thinking shaky head. It’s a dynamite size for a shaky head, and the tail really has some whip appeal when hopped or shook around cover. It’s also a great profile on a Carolina rig and Texas Rig. So now you have a curl tail, a straight tail, a ribbon tail and a Dinero claw tail to offer the fish.
The worm is 6 ½ inches long but we here rumors that a larger version for ledge fishing is coming that we’re chomping at the bit to try. The other great thing we found is that Get Five has some staple colors that every good plastic shape needs, but they are also trying to be very original in colors. We shot the owner, Andrew Oliver, a note about a color we’d like to see, so be on the lookout for our new concoction soon.
“There are several type worms on the market now,” Oliver said. “There are U-tail worms, curly tail worms and ribbon tail worms. But there isn’t anything like this tail currently out there. It’s like saying there are Phillips head and straight edge screwdrivers but then came the Allen heads. The Dinero is sort of the Allen head of worms.”
The worm has a very unique scent, and the fish seem to respond very well to it. The plastic is very pliable and gives the bait a lot of action. The very intricate ridges also lend to water displacement and bubbling on the initial drop. We’re anxious to try it on a drop shot in deep water and for bedding bass next spring.
The worm is available in about seven colors now but will be available soon in all the following colors:
Watermelon Red, Green Pumpkin, Sludge (Watermelon/Green Pumpkin laminate), Diablo (Green Pumpkin//Red laminate), Junebugish, Gourdita (Amberish Gourd color with Green flakes), Time Machine (classic shade of Purple), Black Out (black), Curfew (Black and Blue Swirl), White Rose (white with red and black flakes), and Shizzad (shad laminate).
We’ve suggested the White Rose as a spinnerbait or chatterbait trailer.
The Dinero can be found at several retailers now with more being added daily. You can find the retailers and more information at GetFiveLures.com.
