Description

European anglers love micro topwater walking the dog baits and know how to make them great. Thanks to an amazing team of designers, engineers and product developers Caperlan created the STK 45 , an amazing 1.75" and 1/8oz micro stick bait initially designed for big European Perch and Chub. In North America the STK 45 excels for Smallmouth and Largemouth but also for Trout, Crappie and other small predator fish thanks to its small size. With its wide walking action, the STK 45 mimics an bait fish escaping and can be noticed by fish from far away. When paused it will sit in a 45 degrees position making it dangle and giving it a very triggering behavior. This small topwater lure is armed with BKK 6062 #10 & #12 Black Nicker hooks.

Field Notes

Use in calm to moderate water where you can work a micro stick bait with pauses. Cast and retrieve with a steady walking cadence, then pause so the lure sits at a 45-degree angle and dangles to trigger strikes.

Pros

  • Micro size effective for small predators (perch, chub, smallmouth, trout, crappie)
  • Wide walking-the-dog action draws fish from a distance
  • Pause behavior (45-degree dangle) adds a highly triggering presentation
  • Includes quality BKK hooks

Cons

  • Micro topwater can be harder to cast and control in windy conditions
  • Best results require precise cadence and pauses
