MADNESS Ulti Ned Worm Softbait - 6.5 cm - pack of 8

Product highlights

The MADNESS Ulti Ned Worm is a floating softbait designed to succeed where other rigs fail. Whether you face icy winter waters or heavily pressured summer spots, this worm retains a natural, ultra-discreet presentation that triggers strikes from the most educated fish.

Its buoyancy allows it to stand up off the bottom when paired with a proper Ned-style head. The body of the bait remains vertical, offering an immobile yet lifelike prey, particularly attractive to predators in a wary or low-activity phase.

When retrieved slowly, held on the fall, dragged or given small twitches on the bottom, the Ulti Ned Worm generates a subtle vibration ideal for technical fishing. It is especially aimed at anglers targeting perch, zander (pikeperch), black bass and sea bass in delicate situations.

Technical specifications

• Floating worm-type softbait for Ned rig setups and other finesse applications.


• Subtle, natural action designed to entice wary or inactive fish.


• Designed to be mounted on a specific head such as the Ulti Ned Head or equivalent.


• Stable pose on the bottom with the body upright, mimicking a small invertebrate in a defensive posture.


• Suitable for freshwater predators such as perch, zander and black bass.


• Also appropriate for sea bass and other coastal predators.


• Effective in cold, temperate or heavily fished waters where discretion is essential.


• Compatible with many slow presentations: dragging, controlled drifting or on-the-spot animation.

Advantages and strengths

The main strength of the MADNESS Ulti Ned Worm lies in its ability to provoke strikes in the toughest conditions. Its vertical presentation above the bottom creates a perfectly readable target for the fish, without exaggerated movement or aggressive signals. This finesse approach is deadly on pressured spots or fish already targeted by other lures.

Its subtle action makes the difference: on the fall the bait stays "held" and does not flutter erratically, reinforcing the impression of natural prey. When dragged slowly, it follows the contours of the bottom without easily snagging, while small on-the-spot animations let you fully exploit the emitted vibrations and, if desired, a complementary rattle.

The Ulti Ned Worm also expands your prospecting options: use it to work a specific area thoroughly (breakline, obstacle, gap in weed) or to sweep a larger sector methodically. Its discretion allows you to pass over the same fish multiple times without spooking them.

Another advantage is that this bait fits perfectly with modern predator finesse fishing trends. It meets the needs of technical anglers seeking solutions to make inactive fish react, in all seasons, with maximum control and precision.

How to use

To exploit the full potential of the MADNESS Ulti Ned Worm, rig it on a Ned-style weighted head, choosing a weight adapted to depth, current and wind. The goal is to maintain constant contact with the bottom while preserving a slow, controlled animation.

Cast your rig, let it fall to the bottom, then control the line. You can then:

• Keep it under tension on the fall for a controlled, natural presentation.


• Drag it slowly along the bottom with the rod low to follow irregularities and trigger reaction bites.


• Twitch it on the spot with small rod-tip movements to make the worm vibrate without moving it several meters.

Don’t hesitate to include long pauses: the worm’s buoyancy makes it particularly attractive when the bait remains motionless, merely animated by micro-movements of the line or the current.

This floating softbait for perch, zander, black bass and sea bass can be used with light to medium rods with a sensitive action to feel the slightest bite and the bait’s behavior on the bottom. Use a relatively thin, discreet line to fully exploit its potential in clear waters and highly pressured areas.

Testimonials

“Since I added the MADNESS Ulti Ned Worm to my boxes, I don’t go on a session without it. In winter as in full summer on pressured spots, it’s often the only bait that manages to convince the big fish. Its vertical presentation and discreet action clearly make the difference.”
