Stick Baits

Versatile soft plastic worms that catch fish in multiple ways. Wacky rig them, Texas rig them, fish them weightless — stick baits work when other lures fail. The natural fall and subtle action trigger bites from pressured fish and inactive bass. Simple, effective, and always reliable.

Why Stick Baits Work

The slow, natural fall mimics dying baitfish. Bass can't resist it. The subtle action works when bass won't hit aggressive presentations. The versatility means you can rig them multiple ways for different conditions. Stick baits catch fish year-round in clear water, stained water, and everywhere in between.

How to Fish Stick Baits

Wacky Rig: Hook through the middle and let it fall on slack line. The ends wiggle and create action. Deadly for pressured fish and clear water.

Weightless Texas Rig: Slow, natural fall with weedless presentation. Work it around cover and let it sink on slack line. Bites happen on the fall.

Weighted Texas Rig: Add a bullet weight for deeper water and faster fall. Work it like a traditional worm — drag, hop, and pause.

Neko Rig: Weight in one end for a nose-down fall. The weighted end creates a unique action that triggers bites.

When to Fish Stick Baits

Pressured fish that won't hit aggressive lures. Clear water where bass can see the subtle action. Post-frontal conditions when bass are inactive. Anytime you need a slow, natural presentation that triggers bites from finicky fish.
