Etymology

The term 'wiggler' originates from the verb 'wiggle,' which dates back to the 17th century, used to describe a movement characterized by a repeated back-and-forth motion. The noun form 'wiggler' emerged later, in the early 20th century, potentially as a colloquial term in various contexts such as toy design and fishing. The concept of a 'wiggler' has been associated with playfulness and adaptability, reflecting the way an object or creature moves. Over time, the use of 'wiggler' expanded to include various forms of soft bait used by anglers to attract fish through the imitation of natural prey.
