When it comes to sheer fish-catching power, few patterns rival the Squirmy Worm—but durability has always been its Achilles' heel. Enter the Fulling Mill Olsen’s DNA Worm, a re-engineered twist on the classic that retains all the movement and attraction while eliminating the fragility.
Developed by competitive angler Lance Egan, this worm pattern is crafted with high-resilience materials that can withstand aggressive trout strikes without tearing apart. It delivers the same seductive wiggle that makes worm patterns deadly, but with the strength to keep fishing after the first, second, and even third hookup.
Ideal for high-water days, dirty flows, or anytime trout are feeding low and aggressive, the DNA Worm is your long-lasting answer to a proven trigger.
