How to use Sinking Stickbaits

Casting: Cast the lure to your desired location, aiming for areas where fish are likely to be present, such as around structure, drop-offs, or feeding areas.

Retrieve Technique: Once the lure hits the water, let it sink to your desired depth. The sinking rate will vary depending on the lure's weight and design. Once it reaches the desired depth, start your retrieve.

Jerk and Pause: Use a combination of jerks and pauses to imitate the erratic behavior of injured prey. Jerk the rod tip sharply, then pause for a moment to allow the lure to sink and flutter. This action can trigger predatory fish to strike.

Vary the Retrieve Speed: Experiment with retrieving at different speeds to test what the fish are responding to. Sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, more aggressive retrieve may entice strikes.

Pay Attention: Keep an eye on your line and rod tip for any signs of a strike or subtle movements indicating fish activity. Be ready to set the hook when you feel a bite or see a fish following the lure.

Adjusting Depth: If you want to fish at different depths, you can vary the sink rate of the lure by adjusting the weight or size of the sinking stickbait. Lighter lures will sink slower, while heavier lures will sink faster.

Practice catch and release fishing to ensure the sustainability of fish populations.
