Product description

This sinking pencil stickbait is a slim, weighted hard bait built for anglers who want a subtle, natural presentation. Unlike a floating walking bait, it sinks slowly on the pause, giving bass and other predators extra time to commit. The tight-wobbling body and flash-heavy finish mimic baitfish moving through open water or along the edges of cover.

It casts long and holds a straight track at speed, making it a strong choice for covering water on points, flats, and drop-offs. Largemouth and smallmouth respond well to a twitch-pause retrieve, especially during baitfish migrations or when fish are suspended just off structure. It also handles saltwater species like seabass, so it earns a spot in a mixed-species tacklebox.

How to fish it

Cast past the target zone and let the lure settle for a second before starting the retrieve.
Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence and let the bait sink slightly on each pause.
Speed up the retrieve over open flats to trigger reaction strikes from active fish.
Slow down and lengthen pauses near drop-offs or when fish are holding deeper in the water column.

Frequently asked

Which size should I pick, 70mm or 95mm?

The 70mm size works well for finesse presentations and smaller baitfish patterns, while the 95mm suits bigger bass and situations where you want more casting distance and profile.

How do I choose a color for different water clarity?

Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and brighter or higher-contrast finishes in stained or murky water so fish can locate the bait more easily.

What rod and line pair best with this lure?

A medium to medium-heavy spinning rod with 10 to 15 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon gives good casting distance and control without sacrificing hook-set power.

Is this lure only for bass?

No, it also performs well on pike and saltwater species like seabass, making it a versatile option if you fish multiple species through the season.
