The Westin Ned Worm is designed for anglers who need a reliable finesse lure to trigger strikes on difficult, slow fishing days. Its primary benefit is its super-elastic, floating TPR construction that provides a realistic stand-up action to mimic wounded or feeding prey. One important caveat for users is that the material is reactive to other plastics; it must be stored separately from standard lures to prevent chemical reactions that will melt the bait.

No, the TPR material will react with standard plastisol lures and melt if stored together.
A size 1 or 1/0 mushroom jig head is typically recommended for the 9cm size.
No, the Westin Ned Worm is made from durable TPR and should be disposed of properly in the trash after use.
The buoyancy of the worm can be overcome by heavy lead. Use light wire hooks to maximize the stand-up action.
While designed primarily for freshwater, the material is durable enough for saltwater, provided the hook is saltwater-rated.
Apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate-based super glue to the hook collar before threading the worm.
Store the worm in the original sealed package with its natural oils, or use a dedicated scent-enhancing spray designed for synthetic plastics.
Unfortunately, melted TPR cannot be restored. Always store in a separate, non-reactive plastic container.
To rig the Westin Ned Worm, use a mushroom-style jig head for a traditional Ned presentation, or a circle hook for Wacky-style fishing. Due to the high elasticity of the TPR, you may need to use a drop of super glue on the jig head shank to prevent the worm from sliding down during aggressive casts.
Crucial Care Instruction: Because of the chemical composition of TPR, you must store these lures in their original packaging or a dedicated lure box. Do not allow them to come into contact with standard plastisol lures, as this will cause both materials to degrade and melt into a sticky mess.
