It features alien tentacle-style appendages that create a pulsing, lifelike action perfect for wacky rig and drop shot presentations. Best-selling finesse lure in the WM Bayou lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you rig the Wacky Alien?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary rigs: \u003cstrong\u003eWacky rig\u003c\/strong\u003e (hook through center body — primary presentation, classic fall with tentacle action), \u003cstrong\u003edrop shot\u003c\/strong\u003e (nose-hooked 12–18 inches off bottom for suspended bass), \u003cstrong\u003eNeko rig\u003c\/strong\u003e (nail weight in nose for a stand-up wacky presentation), and \u003cstrong\u003eshaky head\u003c\/strong\u003e (1\/16–1\/8 oz for clear water finesse).

Rich Whitaker's design gives the lure a living, organic look that triggers bites from the most pressured bass. The alien profile also gives curious bass a unique target they haven't seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen is the Wacky Alien most effective?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost effective in \u003cstrong\u003eclear, pressured water\u003c\/strong\u003e during \u003cstrong\u003espawn and post-spawn\u003c\/strong\u003e periods when bass are sight fishing.
