Stick Baits
Alright, let's talk Stick Baits – the unsung heroes of the soft plastic world. These bad boys are about as simple as it gets, but don't let that fool you. Their subtle, natural action in the water can make even the most skeptical bass take a second look.
Stick Baits are all about versatility. Wacky rig 'em for that irresistible flutter on the fall, Texas rig for a stealthy, weedless presentation, or try them weightless when you want that slow, meandering descent that drives fish wild. They're your best bet in clear water, around spawning beds, or any time the bite gets tough and you need to downsize to a more finesse approach.
What's really cool is how they work in just about any habitat – from open water to thick cover, these lures can navigate it all. They're especially killer in situations where you need to mimic the look and feel of natural prey without a lot of commotion. So whether you're skipping docks, probing weed lines, or casting into pockets, having a few Stick Baits on hand could be the game-changer you've been looking for.
