Description

Floating stick baits are highly effective for targeting a variety of species due to their unique action, which mimics injured prey. The pause between sweeps allows the bait to rise, creating an enticing visual cue simulating a vulnerable, struggling baitfish. This rhythmic motion can provoke aggressive strikes from predatory fish. Experiment with the duration and intensity of pauses and sweeps to determine the most effective retrieve for your fishing conditions. Please note: because our lures are handmade, weights may vary slightly from what is listed. For example, a lure labeled as 40g may weigh anywhere between 38.5g and 44.5g. Unlike factory-made lures, our handcrafted versions may exhibit minor differences in weight.

Field Notes

Use with sweep-and-pause retrieves so the lure can rise between pulls and imitate an injured baitfish. It is best around feeding predators that are keying on surface-to-shallow bait, and the floating action makes it useful for working over structure or through mixed cover without immediately diving deep.

Pros

  • Floating action creates a vulnerable baitfish presentation
  • Pause-and-sweep retrieve can trigger reaction strikes
  • Handmade construction may offer unique action

Cons

  • Weight can vary from the listed 40g
  • May require experimentation to dial in pause length and retrieve cadence
