Field Notes

Cast and twitch the stickbait to create a subsurface zig-zag “walk the dog” swim. Retrieve steadily at a moderate-fast pace for an “S” swim, or fish it very slow; when paused it will sink slowly in a horizontal position with a shimmy on the fall.

Pros

  • Super slow sinking for long pauses and horizontal fall
  • Walk-the-dog zig-zag action plus S-swim on steady retrieve
  • Solid resin body with 316 stainless thru-plate for large fish

Cons

  • Sold unrigged (hooks not included)
  • Large/heavy lure may require heavier tackle and casting distance
