Engine RC Living 7ES

The RC Living 7ES takes the PVC-based RC Living 7 and reproduces it in an elastomer material, packed with salt to reduce its natural buoyancy and improve how it sits in the water, with an added scent formula built in. It measures 7in (approximately 178mm), comes 8 to a pack across a 10-colour range, and is a FECO-certified product. Engine recommends the SUPERIOR LO #1 or SUPERIOR MII #5 hooks for rigging it.

It's built mainly for a drop-shot rig, with a trout-style hook stitched through the body, or a free rig using an offset hook, producing a squirming, surface-hugging action when fished weightless. Thin straight worms fished on drop-shot and free rig set-ups have become a standard method on Boso-area reservoirs, and Engine positions the RC Living 7ES as its confident recommendation for that approach.
