Zoom Bait 4-Inch Dead Ringer Bait – June Bug Chartruese, 20-Pack

Zoom Bait 4-Inch Dead Ringer Bait — June Bug Chartruese

The Zoom Bait 4-Inch Dead Ringer is a modern take on the classic ring worm, designed to deliver a balanced silhouette with impactful water movement. At four inches, its design offers a versatile profile that performs from shallow grass pockets to deeper laydowns. The segmented rings trap and hold water, creating a noticeable presence in the water that helps the lure appear larger and more animated than its compact form while settling and during a twitch or shake. The Junebug Chartruese color blends natural tones with a chartreuse edge for visibility in a range of water conditions.

The lure features a ringed body paired with a curly tail that flutters on the fall and when twitched. This tail action, combined with the subtle resistance of the ringed body, creates a lifelike motion that can grab a bass’s attention during a pause or a steady retrieve. Salt impregnation adds a touch of scent and durability, offering an extra nudge in clear or stained water where a bass is sizing up potential meals. While not a guarantee, these traits are often cited by anglers as contributing factors when bass show interest in ring-worm style baits.
