Description

The Engine Like Five ES is an elastomer evolution of the original Like Five, not simply an elastomer version of the existing mould but a body reshaped for the format. ENGINE elastomerises its Like-series worms for their buoyancy and drifting action, but found the original Like Five shape floated too strongly on a jig head, making it hard to hold depth; the ES reshapes the body to keep the elastomer's benefits while taming that buoyancy for easier range-keeping. The line's signature shibo (textured) surface, combined with the elastomer material and flat side panels, gives it a pronounced glossy shimmer, with salt mixed only into the belly.

Its action rolls through the front of the body, with the rear following in a wafting motion driven by that front roll — a tail action ENGINE designed to draw bites from bass grown wise to a straightforward roll. At an approximate self-weight of 7.8g, ENGINE recommends a #1/0 to #3/0 jig head or a #1 HS hook. It's sold in packs of 5, is FECO-certified, and because of its elastomer construction should be stored in its own dedicated tray to avoid shape distortion or melting from contact with other plastics.

Information

The swimming action

An elastomer reshaping of the original Like Five, tamed to hold depth better on a jig head; action rolls through the front of the body with the rear following in a wafting motion, designed to draw bites from bass grown wise to a straightforward roll.

When to throw it

Suited to bass that have seen plenty of standard roll-action worms and need the more nuanced front-roll, rear-waft action to commit. It also holds up across a full bass season, from pre-spawn staging areas through summer cover and into the cooling water of autumn, rather than suiting one narrow window.

How to work it

Fish on a #1/0 to #3/0 jig head with slow lifts and falls, letting the front-to-rear rolling action develop rather than working it fast. Vary the cadence and the length of the pause between casts until you find what is drawing bites that day, since bass response to speed can change through a session.

The setup it likes

A medium spinning or baitcasting rod, 10-14 lb fluorocarbon and a #1/0-#3/0 jig head or #1 HS hook suit this elastomer worm; store it in its own dedicated tray away from other plastics. Round the outfit off with a smooth drag and a rod tip soft enough to load up properly before the hookset drives home on a finesse presentation.
