The Vexed Bottom Meat Deluxe is the third iteration of the Bottom Meat concept, offering a hybrid jig/bait system designed to enhance your fishing experience. Its triple hook configuration allows for secure bait presentation, ensuring longer strip baits, whole squid, or octopus legs remain straight for a streamlined descent. The super stretchy, high-intensity glowing scented Occy Head Skirt with UV flash adds an extra layer of attraction, making it an effective choice for targeting demersal species.

How to work it

The Bottom Meat Deluxe is a hybrid jig/bait system built to fish hard on the bottom in water 30m and deeper. Rig it with a fish fillet strip, whole squid, or octopus leg across the triple hook setup, keeping longer baits straight so the whole rig descends streamlined and fast-sinking to the seabed.

Drop straight to the bottom and let the fast-sinking design take it down quickly, minimising drift in current or deep water. Once down, work it with slow lifts and pauses to let the scented Occy Head skirt and UV flash do the attracting, then hold it near the bottom where demersal fish feed.

Match the head weight to depth and current - heavier heads for deeper drops and stronger tide.

Pair with a rod and reel rated to handle the chosen weight and the leverage of a loaded bottom rig, and use the under-chin assist hook point for secure hook-ups on the take.

Which weight, and when

20 g Suits the shallower end of the bottom zone with light current where a slower descent is acceptable.

40 g A lighter option for modest depth and gentle tide, sinking without overpowering the bite.

60 g General-purpose weight for moderate depth and current when a steady descent is wanted.

80 g For deeper water or building current where more head weight keeps the rig tracking down.

110 g Handles stronger tide and greater depth, punching the baited rig to the bottom.

150 g For deep drops and firm current where a heavier head is needed to stay on the seabed.

200 g Suits pronounced depth and current, keeping baits pinned near the bottom.

250 g For very deep water or strong tide where lighter heads drift off station.

300 g Heavy head for deep, current-swept ground where fast descent matters.

350 g For extreme depth or heavy tide, minimising drift on the drop.

500 g A big-water head for very deep drops and strong current.

750 g For the deepest ground and fierce tide where maximum sink rate is required.

1000 g The heaviest option for extreme depth and current, driving the rig straight down.
