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 with a rhythmic retrieve of sweeps and pauses to imitate an injured baitfish. The lure rises on the pause, so it works well when fish are keyed on surface-oriented prey or when you want a slower, more deliberate presentation around open water and current edges.

Pros

  • Handmade lure with unique action
  • Floating pause-and-rise behavior imitates vulnerable baitfish
  • Versatile retrieve can be tuned with hook size

Cons

  • Weight can vary slightly from piece to piece
  • Requires experimenting with retrieve cadence to dial in action
