Storm Wiggle Wart MadFlash 2" 3/8oz Gizzard Shad
The Storm Wiggle Wart MadFlash 2" Gizzard Shad is a hard diving crankbait built for anglers who need a dependable all-purpose lure that catches fish across species and conditions. At 2 inches and 3/8 ounce, this compact crankbait delivers the hunting action and acoustic profile that have made the Wiggle Wart name synonymous with success on freshwater and inshore flats alike. Whether you're targeting bass, pike, walleye, or panfish, the MadFlash finish adds flash and profile variation to an already battle-tested design.
What sets the Wiggle Wart apart is its signature side-to-side wobble—a tight, aggressive action that triggers strikes even when fish are sluggish or selective. The lure maintains that rhythm at virtually any retrieve speed, from a slow crawl along drop-offs to a fast burn through shallow cover. A built-in rattle adds sonic stimulation without overwhelming the water, giving you an edge in murky conditions or when visibility is low. The gizzard shad forage pattern mimics natural prey in both natural waters and stocked impoundments, making it a logical go-to when you're unsure of local forage or water clarity.
Storm backs this lure with premium VMC super-sharp hooks—a detail that matters when every cast counts. The small profile and moderate weight make the MadFlash easy to cast, control, and fish all day without fatigue. Keep one tied on as your confidence lure for tough bite days or throw it as a search bait when you're exploring new water.
