The 5-inch Stick Bait is a floating soft-plastic bass bait for Texas and wacky rigs. Its full-length stick profile gives you a larger option than our compact Ned baits, with subtle movement rather than a busy tail.

Best for: Subtle floating presentations on Texas or wacky rigs.

How to fish a floating stick bait

Choose a Texas rig for grass and wood edges, or a wacky rig for open water with the hook through the middle of the bait. Keep both ends free on a wacky rig and use gentle twitches followed by pauses.

This bait has a floating formulation. A weightless setup may stay high in the water; do not assume it will fall like a salted sinking stick bait. Test the finished rig in shallow water and add a suitable weight or weighted hook when you want it deeper.

5-inch Stick Bait

Two practical starting setups for this bait. Choose for the cover and depth, then check the rig beside the bank before casting.

Texas rig

For grass and wood edges · tucked hook point

123
  1. Bullet weight ahead of bait
  2. Point lightly tucked
  3. Tail stays free

Rigging steps

  1. Slide a bullet sinker onto the line with its pointed end toward the rod, then tie on an offset worm hook.
  2. Push the hook into the nose and out just behind it. Slide the bait up to the offset, then turn it.
  3. Lay the hook beside the body to find the exit. Pierce belly-to-back and tuck just the point under the skin. Keep the bait straight.

How to fish it

Drag a short distance, then pause. Try a small lift-and-drop rather than a hard hop. A tucked point helps around cover, but is not snag-proof.

Wacky rig

For open water and edges · circle-hook example

123
  1. Line tied to hook eye
  2. Circle point and gap clear
  3. Both ends free

Rigging steps

  1. Tie on a small circle hook suited to the bait. A dedicated wacky J-hook is another option, with a different hook-setting technique.
  2. Pass the hook through the middle of the bait, leaving both ends free. Keep the inward-curving point and gap clear of plastic.
  3. Test the finished rig beside the bank. Adjust the hook weight for the depth and pace you want before making a full cast.

How to fish it

Let it reach the depth you want, add a gentle twitch, then pause. With the circle hook shown, reel steadily into the fish and let the rod load; do not strike hard. The exposed point can catch vegetation.

Illustrations show placement, not scale. Dashed hook sections are inside the plastic. Tackle is shown for guidance; check product details for pack contents.
