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 small hard bait that can be cast and retrieved or trolled. It is designed to reach deeper water, making it a good option for salmon, steelhead, and walleye when fish are holding below the surface. The internal rattles and heavier body help it cast farther and draw attention in moving water or low-light conditions.

Pros

  • Deep-diving profile for reaching fish holding down in the water column
  • Internal rattles add attraction
  • Heavier 11 g body casts farther than many baits this size
  • Full wire construction improves durability

Cons

  • Small hard bait can be less forgiving around heavy cover
  • Treble hooks may snag more easily than single-hook presentations
