SpoonMinnow Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Stick baits first made the scene with the Senko which introduced the wacky rig. I found other the stick shape amazing when used as a jerk bait. This white perch and 4 other fish species have pounded it in the last month. It was made using part of a plastic stick from a mold and rigging it on a light jig. With a combination of rod twitches and reel handle turns, the lure quivers and/or darts. I've had fish strike it 4x on the same retrieve and fish I missed slam it off the bottom. Soft plastic was used to get the best finesse action. The other suprise this year was a stick in the shape of a carrot. Same type of action except smaller in size. 5 colors did well.
