Meredith JXC05 Shrimp-Scented Stickworm Soft Plastic – 140mm | 10-Pack Noodle Worm

Meredith JXC05 Shrimp-Scented Stickworm Soft Plastic – 140mm / 10-Pack

The Meredith JXC05 is a 140mm shrimp oil infused stickworm soft plastic built for finesse fishing techniques in both freshwater and estuarine environments. Three design elements work together to attract and hold fish: shrimp oil attractant is infused throughout the PVC body to release scent continuously through the session; multi-layered spiral rings along the body create visual texture and water disturbance on the drop and retrieve; and reflective laser discs embedded in the body produce flash and light refraction that draws fish from a greater distance. The soft, bouncy PVC body flexes and wriggles naturally on a wacky rig fall, hangs horizontally on a drop shot, and slides through cover cleanly on a weightless or Texas rig. 10 colour variants covering natural and attractor patterns. Sold in a 10-pack.

• Shrimp oil attractant infused throughout — shrimp flavour attractant is integrated into the PVC body rather than surface-coated; the scent releases continuously throughout the session and intensifies as the lure is worked and bitten; bream, estuary perch, and bass hold onto the lure longer after the initial bite, giving more time to detect the take and drive the hook home on light-biting estuary species
• Multi-layered spiral rings — segmented spiral ribbing runs the full length of the body, creating visual contrast and producing micro water disturbance as the lure falls and moves; the ribbing also increases the surface area of the bait, which amplifies the shrimp scent release and improves the soft texture feel when a fish bites and holds
• Reflective laser discs — metallic laser discs embedded in the body reflect and refract light as the lure moves and falls; produces flash and light scatter that draws fish to the bait from greater distance, particularly effective in estuarine conditions with moderate light penetration where purely coloured baits struggle to stand out
• Soft, bouncy PVC body — the PVC formulation is soft enough to flex and wriggle naturally under minimal tension on a wacky rig fall, and bouncy enough to return to shape after repeated bites; the material holds rigging hooks cleanly and maintains body integrity through multiple fish and re-rigs
• Multi-rig versatility — the JXC05 body profile and weight distribution suit wacky rig, weightless, Texas rig, Carolina rig, and drop shot presentations; the 140mm length is matched to bream, estuary perch, and bass in finesse applications where a larger bait is needed to push through cover or reach deeper in the water column
• 10 colour variants — covers natural earth tones and translucent patterns for clear estuary water through to bright, high-contrast attractor colours for dirty or tannin-stained conditions

Recommended Rigs

• Wacky Rig — hook through the centre of the body on a size 1–1/0 worm hook; allow the lure to fall horizontally with both ends wriggling; most effective for bream over shallow structure and rock walls
• Weightless — nose-hooked weightless and cast across surface weed and shallow structure; slow sink rate covers the entire water column on the fall with maximum natural action
• Drop Shot — nose-hooked above a drop shot weight; holds the lure horizontally at a fixed depth and allows it to be shaken in place over structure without moving the weight; highly effective for suspended estuary perch and bream in deeper water
• Texas Rig — weedless presentation for fishing through heavy cover, weed beds, and timber; the shrimp scent continues to work even when the lure is stationary in the cover
• Carolina Rig — bottom fishing presentation with a sliding sinker above the lure; allows the JXC05 to hover naturally above the bottom between hops, ideal for bream and flathead on sandy estuary bottom

Recommended Applications

• Estuary Bream — wacky rig over rock walls, bridge pylons, and shallow flats; allow the lure to fall slowly through the strike zone; pause for 2–3 seconds on the bottom before the next cast
• Estuary Perch — drop shot through deeper estuary water and over rocky structure; shake in place at the target depth and allow the scent to do the work on neutral fish
• Bass (Freshwater) — weightless or Texas rig through impoundment timber and weed edges; slow sink and occasional twitch to trigger follows
• Flathead — Carolina rig dragged slowly across sandy estuary bottom; the shrimp scent trail left by a slow drag is highly effective for flathead holding on the bottom
