Charlie's Worms 4.5" Flippin' Bug Swimming Worm Lure Watermelon Red

Charlie's Worms 4.5" Flippin' Bug soft plastic lure — Watermelon Red, flapping appendages and ribbed body for crawfish and baitfish action. For bass fishing in heavy cover and vegetation.

The Charlie's Worms 4.5" Flippin' Bug is a versatile soft plastic lure that imitates both crawfish and swimming baitfish with flapping appendages and a ribbed body that creates vibration and movement on the fall and retrieve. Watermelon Red is a proven color in clear to stained water — one of the most consistent bass producers across seasons and conditions. Durable soft plastic holds up to multiple strikes and rigging styles.

Key specs:

Why it works:

The Flippin' Bug's dual-action design — flapping legs that mimic crawfish claws and a ribbed body that pulses on the fall — triggers strikes from bass in two different feeding modes simultaneously. Watermelon Red is effective because it provides a natural green base color with red flake that mimics crawfish coloration in most water conditions. The 4.5" size is the right profile for largemouth and smallmouth bass across most fisheries.

Target species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass.

Ideal for: Flipping and pitching heavy cover, swimming through vegetation, Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, and jig trailers in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds.
