Fishermen might be a little skeptical to hear that one of bass fishing's oldest and dearest lires has been improved. But that is exactly the case with Gambler's new Floating Worm, which was designed by 1999 Bass Masters Classic champion Davy Hite.

         The Gambler Floating Worm has all of the ingredients that have made these surface floaters a long-time favorite among bass enthusiasts throughout the country, with one important difference. Its body shape is more squared-off than round, which keeps the worm from rolling as it is retrieved from side to side through the water. This eliminates an age-old problem with floating worms, line twist.

          With the Gambler Floating Worm, you no longer need to use a swivel to combat the dreaded line twist. That means less bother rigging and more time spent fishing.

          "This bait is a joy to fish," Hite said. "It glides effortlessly through the water with incredible action, yet you can slow it down, and it will stay in the strike zone longer."

          In addition to its terrific action, the Gambler Floating Worm comes in 13 color patterns and features Gambler's world renown superior color and texture.
