Description

Sinking stick baits are designed to mimic the natural swimming motion of baitfish as they sink, with the lure's action creating a subtle "shimmy" or side-to-side movement. When you add little twitches with the rod, it gives the impression of a distressed or injured fish, which can trigger predatory fish to strike. The key is to maintain a steady retrieval with occasional pauses or jerks to enhance that lifelike, erratic action. Please keep in mind that because our products are handmade, their weight might be different from what’s listed. For example, a lure labeled as 40g could weigh 38.5g or 44.5g. Unlike factory-made lures, our handcrafted ones may have small weight variations.

Field Notes

Cast and retrieve steadily, adding occasional rod twitches, short jerks, and brief pauses to create the distressed “shimmy” action as the stick bait sinks. Use it when you want a baitfish-like presentation that stays in the subsurface zone and can be worked with subtle cadence changes to trigger strikes.

Pros

  • Sinking stick-bait action mimics baitfish as it drops
  • Rod twitches create a subtle side-to-side “shimmy” and injured-fish look
  • Works with steady retrieve plus pauses/jerks for erratic triggers

Cons

  • Handmade weight can vary from the labeled weight
  • Requires active rod work (twitches/pauses) to maximize action
