Storm Wiggle Wart MadFlash 2" 3/8oz Blue Steel Shad

The Storm Wiggle Wart MadFlash is a 2-inch, 3/8-ounce diving crankbait built on a reputation for delivering results across freshwater species. If you've heard the fishing stories about this lure, there's usually a reason—it's been a go-to choice for anglers targeting bass, pike, walleye, and panfish for decades. The MadFlash version in Blue Steel Shad combines proven action with a color pattern that mimics natural baitfish, making it effective in a range of water conditions and light levels.

What sets the Wiggle Wart apart is its side-to-side action and built-in rattle. Cast it out and work it at any speed—slow, medium, or fast—and the lure's characteristic wiggle stays consistent, drawing strikes from finicky fish. The rattle adds an auditory trigger that helps fish locate the bait, especially useful in stained water or low-light periods. This is a crankbait that works when you fish it correctly, but also when you're simply retrieving and covering water.

Storm backs this lure with premium VMC super-sharp hooks, which means better hooksets and fewer lost fish. The compact profile and moderate weight make the Wiggle Wart easy to cast and control, whether you're working shoreline cover, weed edges, or open water. It's a straightforward, effective tool for your tacklebox—no gimmicks, just a proven design that catches fish.
