Everything You Want To Know About The 10,000 Fish Yoto Worm

Watch SB Fishing break down the 10,000 Fish Yoto Worm

The soft plastic worm is a staple for bass anglers and has been catching bass for decades. Over the years, they have expanded from simple ribbon or curly tail worms to a host of different shapes, sizes, and profiles. Most baits on the market look pretty similar, and that’s what makes the 10,000 Fish Yoto Worm stand out; it’s a unique looking bait that you can fish in many different ways.

What Makes it Different?

The 10,000 Fish Yoto Worm works wonders on the back of bladed jig or spinnerbait.

If you’ve fished soft plastic baits, you probably have some favorites. The soft plastic stick bait, the beaver style flipping and pitching bait, and finesse worms may come to mind first. They are proven shapes that catch fish everywhere, but everyone knows it and the bass see a lot of them.

The 10,000 Fish Yoto Worm is unlike all of those typical baits. It has a body that has ribs on the side and a tail that tapers down. The shape of the bait creates a great baitfish profile and has a texture that will ensure the bass hold onto it longer. It looks and feels like a small bluegill, shad, or other small fish when a bass eats it.

The bait measures 4.75” long and is small enough to be considered a finesse plastic, but with the added bulk and profile that will appeal to the biggest fish in the area.

How To Fish The 10,000 Fish Yoto Worm

One of the best things about the Yoto Worm is that you can rig it and fish it tons of different ways; it’s a versatile bait only limited by your imagination. Starting with the typical ways to rig it, you can fish it on a Texas-Rig either weightless or with a worm weight. The Yoto Worm has four hook channels down the body that help with correct rigging.

You can also fish it on a drop-shot rig, either nose hooked in a traditional way or with a larger worm hook. Fishing it Texas-rigged on a drop-shot will allow you to fish around grass and brush and not hang up as much as an exposed hook will. Another way to fish the Yoto Worm is on a shaky head and this will give you a compact profile that you can fish right along the bottom.

The Yoto Worm also makes an excellent trailer and you can put it on the back of a jig, ChatterBait, swim jig, or spinnerbait. One trick is to rig it vertically to give it the appearance of a small fish or rig it horizontal to get an up and down swimming action like a crawfish. Both ways to rig it work and will get bit.

There are many types of soft plastics out there and sometimes, it pays to show the fish something a little different. You can fish the Yoto Worm in plenty of different ways depending on the conditions and how you like to fish.


The shape, action, and profile from the Yoto Worm allow anglers to fish this bait using multiple rigging methods.

  • Spinnerbait- The Tickle Tail will dash and dance as your spinner blades rotate
  • Shaky Head - The profile resembles a feeding or dying baitfish hanging near the bottom
  • Texas Rig- The streamline body allows the Yoto Worm to slip in and out of cover and grass when fished flipped and pitched on a Texas Rig
  • Drop Shot - The soft and subtle body provides the Yoto Worm with enough action to work on a drop shot
