The WM Bayou Wacky Alien is a one-of-a-kind soft plastic finesse lure designed by legendary SoCal bass angler Rich Whitaker and hand-poured in Texas. Its alien tentacle-style appendages create a pulsing, lifelike action on both the fall and the retrieve — unlike most worms that only produce action on the fall. The result is a living, organic presentation that triggers bites from the most pressured bass. Best-selling finesse lure in the WM Bayou lineup. Designed to float and especially well-suited to the floating worm technique. Available in 12 colors.
How to Fish the Wacky Alien
Most effective in clear, pressured water during spawn and post-spawn when bass are sight fishing, and for suspended bass on drop shot in summer. Use light spinning gear (7–8 lb fluorocarbon) with a 1/0–2/0 finesse hook. For a weighted wacky presentation, pair it with the WM Bayou Wacky-Neko Ring.
