I have two of these molds on the way to me and we were talking about this earlier. We think given the pictures that the finesse is skinnier then a skinny carrot would be. We were trying to have someone put up a side by side pic of the 6" skinny and the 6" finesse to see the difference. I will be putting up a 4.5" finesse worm mold up for trade in the very near future since I will have an extra mold.

I think I am right here. ---  The 4 inch carrot has a body diameter of 0.375.  The 4.5 Inch Finesse Worm has a body diameter of 0.3125 and the taper starts closer to the head.  ( proportionately less full body, and a faster taper angle ). Compared -- the 3.0 inch skinny carrot has a 0.3125 inch diameter body as well ( a mold I do have that has a pretty good bit of movement ).  I have not touched a 4.5 inch Finesse Worm; but it has to have a lot of movement to it based on it's dimensions.  The 6.0 inch finesse worm is the same 0.3125 diameter and fast taper so it would have a lot of shimmy as well.   My guess is they are designed to be a smaller diameter skinny carrot with even more action.

Thanks Paul.  As usual, you are 100% correct.
