Nova Whacker 3.5" Deep Diving Stick Baits 11 Grams 2 internal Rattles 2X Hooks Factory Tuned Hand Painted After years of fishing stick baits for Salmon, we noticed one common flaw, the baits broke. The hard fighting Salmon were just to much for the standard stick bait, sometimes breaking the bait in half. We have re-designed the 3.5” deep diving stick bait with a full wire design to fix this flaw, resulting in more fish landed. We call this stick bait the “Whacker”. We also added two rattles to the bait, which will attract predatory fish. Along with the rattles, the bait is heavier than most common 3.5” baits, making it easier to cast further. The Nova Tackle 3.5” Deep Diving Stick Baits is a perfect choice for trolling for Walleye, Salmon, Steelhead and other species up to 18ft of water, as well as casting and retrieving. At 11 grams, this lure casts better and further than other lures this size. It is a great multi-species bait and can be used for any type of cast and retrieve fishing application.

Field Notes

Use this deep-diving stick bait when you want a castable or trollable lure that tracks down into the strike zone. It is suited for salmon, steelhead, and walleye in up to about 18 feet of water, especially when fish are responding to a baitfish profile and internal rattle. Best for steady retrieves or trolling passes where a consistent wobble and depth are important.

Pros

  • Heavier 11 g body casts farther than many similar 3.5-inch baits
  • Full wire construction improves durability for hard-fighting salmon
  • Internal rattles add attraction
  • Works for both trolling and casting

Cons

  • Only reaches moderate depth compared with true deep-diving crankbaits
  • Treble-hook bait can snag more easily in cover
