Description

The Trouser Worm – created by Trevor Tanner, stands out as a robust alternative to the traditional San Juan worm, specifically crafted for durability. With a unique design that ensures it falls and rides hook-up, this worm headstands on the bottom, presenting an irresistible allure to finicky fish. Its versatility shines through, allowing anglers to experiment with various techniques – whether on the strip or in a swim, the Trouser Worm proves its effectiveness.

Pro Tip

Fish McTag's Trouser Worm as the anchor fly in a two-fly rig, letting it drift naturally along the bottom where fish are actively feeding. Use it during high runoff or rain events when worms are abundant in the drift. Experiment with slight twitches during the drift to give it lifelike movement, and vary the colors to match water clarity and fish behavior.
