Description

Floating stick baits are a highly effective tool for targeting a wide variety of species. Their unique action, which perfectly mimics an injured prey fish, is the key to their success. The rhythmic retrieve of a floating stick bait—with alternating sweeps and pauses—creates an enticing visual cue. During the pause, the bait slowly rises to the surface, simulating a vulnerable, struggling baitfish that predatory fish find irresistible. To maximize your success, it's essential to experiment with both the duration and intensity of your sweeps and pauses. This will help you find the most effective retrieve for your specific fishing conditions. You can also adjust the hook size to fine-tune the lure's action. Heavier hooks will cause the lure to stay submerged slightly longer, while lighter hooks will allow it to rise more quickly. A Note on Our Handmade Lures: Because each of our lures is handcrafted, there may be slight variations in weight. For example, a lure labeled as 40g may actually weigh anywhere between 38.5g and 44.5g. These minor differences are a natural part of the handmade process and are what make each lure truly unique.

Field Notes

Use this floating stick bait with a rhythmic sweep-and-pause retrieve to imitate an injured baitfish. It is especially effective when predators are feeding on the surface or just below it, and the pause lets the lure rise and look vulnerable. Adjust hook size to change how quickly it rises and to fine-tune the action.

  • Pause-and-rise action can trigger reaction strikes
  • Hook size can be adjusted to tune buoyancy and action
