Zoom Ole Monster 12.5" 5/bag Red Shad

The Zoom Ole Monster 12.5" soft plastic worm in Red Shad is a heavyweight option for anglers targeting bass, pike, and other predators that respond to oversized prey profiles. At 12.5 inches, this big worm delivers the tail action and profile that draws strikes from larger fish in deeper structure, vegetation, and open water. Red Shad is a natural, translucent color pattern that mimics baitfish in various lighting conditions, making it a versatile choice across seasons and water clarity.

Whether you're fishing heavy cover, offshore structure, or open-water flats, the soft, supple construction of the Ole Monster tail generates realistic movement with minimal effort. The worm works equally well rigged Texas-style for precise placement in tight areas, on a Carolina rig for slower, bottom-contact presentations, or on a magnum shakey head for vertical drops and subtle jigging action. Its substantial mass gives you better casting distance and bottom feel, even in wind.

This pack contains five baits, so you'll have spares to experiment with different rigging methods or keep fresh plastic in the water without constant re-rigging. Anglers who regularly target trophy-class fish or fish competitive waters appreciate the combination of profile, color visibility, and proven action that Zoom has engineered into this big-worm category.
