The Crème Angle Fly Rod Worm 2 1/4″ Purple is a classic soft plastic fishing lure, particularly popular for panfish and trout fishing. Here’s what you should know about it:
Key Features:
– Size: 2.25 inches (small, ideal for finesse presentations).
– Color: Purple (a versatile color that works well in various water conditions).
– Design: Resembles a wiggly worm with a segmented body for lifelike action.
– Material: Soft, flexible plastic with a subtle scent (original Crème lures had a unique “fish-attracting” aroma).
– Hook Setup: Typically rigged on a small jig head, light wire hook, or used with a fly rod under a float (bobber).
Best Uses:
– Target Species: Bluegill, crappie, trout, perch, and other small fish.
– Rigging Options:
– Fly Rod: Works well with a light fly rod (2–4 weight) under a strike indicator.
– Ultralight Spinning Gear: Paired with a 1/32–1/16 oz jig head for slow retrieves.
– Bobber Rig: Suspended under a small float for still-water fishing.
– Techniques: Dead-sticking, slow retrieves, or gentle twitches to mimic natural movement.
Why It’s Effective:
– The small size and subtle action make it perfect for finicky fish.
– Purple is a great low-light or stained-water color.
– Crème’s soft plastic has a natural feel that fish hold onto longer.
Pro Tip:
If fishing for trout, try adding a tiny piece of worm or a dab of scent gel for extra attraction.
