Description

This floating stick bait excels in rough water conditions due to its specialized design, which optimizes its subsurface stability. It performs similarly to an ultra-slow sinking lure, maintaining a depth of 8-10 inches during aggressive sweeping retrieves. When retrieved slowly, the bait will swim at 5-6 inches below the surface, gradually ascending to its floating position, thus priming it for subsequent sweeping actions. 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 variations.

Field Notes

This floating stick bait is designed for rough water and aggressive sweeping retrieves. Work it with pauses so it rises between sweeps, imitating an injured baitfish and triggering reaction strikes. It can be fished very shallow just under the surface, especially when predators are feeding on bait near the top.

Pros

  • Floats and rises on the pause for a vulnerable baitfish presentation
  • Effective in rough water and aggressive retrieve styles
  • Can be worked very shallow just below the surface

Cons

  • Requires active retrieve and timing to get the best action
  • Handmade weight variation may slightly change casting and sink behavior
