The Stutzie Bass Killer artificial crank bait worm is a premium handcrafted fishing lure engineered for bass anglers who demand performance, realism, and strike reliability. For over 30 years, this lure has been a best-kept secret among Midwest tournament fishermen, consistently producing bites where standard soft plastic worms and crankbaits fall short.
Unlike conventional soft plastics, the Stutzie features a unique profile — less than ¼" thick and 5" long — that mimics natural forage and triggers aggressive strikes from both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Its super-soft floating design enhances underwater action, while the hand-tied 12lb Stern leader and rust-resistant mustard hooks give you strength and reliability on every cast.
Available in 25 vivid colors and two precision hook sizes (#6 Tournament Series and #8 Original Series), the Stutzie Bass Killer is adaptable for multiple techniques — whether you’re fishing open water, grass flats, heavy cover, or deep structure. Its handcrafted quality places it in the same category as premium soft plastics such as Berkley PowerBait, Zoom Trick Worms, and Roboworms, yet with a distinct action and feel that keeps seasoned anglers coming back.
Perfect for lure anglers who rely on technique and presentation — including Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, crankbait retrieves, and finesse presentations — this lure is ideal for those seeking an edge on tournament day or during slow bite conditions. With its proven track record and wide range of color options, the Stutzie Bass Killer remains a staple for serious freshwater anglers.
More Information
As soon as you see a STUZIE, you will realize this is a very different and unique artificial bait. Measuring less than a ¼ thick and 5” long, the STUTZIE is much smaller than those sold in the sporting goods and bait stores, making it more realistic to bass.
Hoosier Bait Company has a long and successful history in the artificial bait business. The “STUTZIE” HAS been made for over 30 years and has been catching fish, lots of fish, ever since.
Each STUZIE worm is hand-poured and rigged in an Amish shop with a hand-tied 12lb test Stern leader with Mustard hooks.
STUTZIE is available in two hook sizes: the Original Series with a #8 hook and the Tournament Series with a #6 hook. Both sizes come with 12 worms per bag.
“When conditions are tough, you can still catch fish with the Stutzie. Without a doubt, the Stutzie worm is the best pre-rigged worm ever made.”
