The Galapagos LashWave 6.5" is a thick straight worm from the Japanese maker Galápagos and the bigger brother of the LashWave 4". It was developed for sharper presentations such as swimming a neko rig or working the bait with long pauses. When shaken, the slightly flattened, fat body pushes a lot of water, while a tapered neck folds with a small delay, giving fish a subtle collapse to strike at. The firm salt-impregnated material adds durability.
- Length: 6.5 in
- Pack count: 7
- Ribs: fine pitch at the front to hold shape under hard shaking, wider and deeper at the rear for a softer tail response
- Recommended hooks: #1 to 1/0 trout-style (masu) hook for neko and wacky rigs, or #1 to 2/0 offset hook
- Rigging guide lines molded into the body; hook it so the flat side catches water
