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 for trolling or cast-and-retrieve presentations when salmon, steelhead, or walleye are feeding on baitfish. It is designed to reach deeper water and can be worked along drop-offs, current seams, and other travel routes where fish hold. The internal rattles and hard bait profile make it a good search lure in active-fish situations.

Pros

  • Deep-diving profile reaches fish holding deeper in the water column
  • Internal rattles add attraction
  • Full wire construction improves durability for hard-fighting salmon
  • Works for both trolling and casting

Cons

  • Hard bait can be less forgiving in snaggy areas
  • Best when fish are willing to chase a moving lure
