The CAST Fishing Co. Nova 4.5" Worm is engineered for finesse anglers who want dependable rigging, versatile performance, and an extra edge when targeting pressured bass. Built from CAST Fishing Co.'s proprietary soft plastic, the Nova is designed to securely lock nail weights in place, helping prevent lost weights and keeping your presentation consistent cast after cast.

A built-in glass rattle adds subtle sound and vibration to the presentation, giving bass another reason to investigate and strike. Combined with its compact 4.5-inch profile, the Nova delivers the understated action finesse fishing demands while adding just enough attraction to stand apart from traditional finesse worms.

While the Nova was designed to excel on a Neko rig, its versatility extends far beyond a single technique. Fish it on a shaky head, Ned rig, finesse jig, vibrating jig, or rig it on a jighead for forward-facing sonar (FFS) presentations. Its compact profile makes it especially effective when bass are pressured, feeding on smaller forage, or reluctant to commit to larger presentations.

Each package includes 10 Nova worms, giving anglers a versatile finesse bait ready for everything from shallow cover to suspended bass and deep-water structure.

On the Water

The CAST Fishing Co. Nova 4.5" Worm is a great choice when bass demand a more subtle presentation. Insert a nail weight for a Neko rig and take advantage of the plastic's secure hold, or switch to a shaky head, Ned rig, or jighead as conditions change. The integrated glass rattle adds an extra element of attraction without overpowering the bait's finesse presentation, making the Nova especially useful around pressured fish and in clear-water situations.
