Field Notes

This is a large floating offshore stickbait designed to be worked on the surface or just under it. Use it for casting to pelagic fish when you want a long-profile lure that can be walked, twitched, or paused to trigger strikes. The floating build and through-wire construction make it suitable for hard-fighting saltwater species.

Pros

  • Large 9-inch profile for big-game casting
  • Floating action allows versatile surface presentation
  • High-impact solid core and through-wire construction
  • Premium finish with paua abalone and color-shift pigments

Cons

  • Specialty lure with a high price point
  • Likely best suited to experienced anglers and heavy tackle
  • Floating stickbait may require precise retrieve control
