About Slim Stick:
|
| |
The Slim Stick is as thin and curvy as the Bonga Minnow is short and fat. The slender yet sturdy and distinctly styled Slim Stick comes in three sizes to cover light, medium and heavy fishing situations. All three sizes walk the dog with ease and precision. Choose the size which best matches your tackle and size fish you are after. Generally, bigger fish fall for bigger lures, but don't forget that sometimes the biggest fish jump on smaller lures too!
At first glance, you may think (mistakenly) that the curved body is not very aerodynamic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, the Slim Stick is a super long distance casting champion!

More on Slim Stick...
The Slim Stick is so expertly balanced that even on the end of a long cast, it usually only takes one rod tip bounce to start a walking cadence and an instant rhythm of fluid zigzag motion skating across the surface. You can slow way down or speed up the walking steps without losing the side-to-side cadence at any speed. Use very gentle, short, easy rod movements to keep the Slim Stick performing perfectly in its precise sidestepping fashion.
Along with its walking action, the Slim Stick has a big tungsten bead that hits a partition wall inside and makes a loud knocking, almost popping noise. The 98's knock seems loudest since its smaller body is just not going to churn up the same volume of water commotion as the other sizes. So you really hear the 98 s click the loudest. The 98 will click its way across the surface in a slippery, squiggly action unlike anything you may have seen or heard before, knocking itself silly with each zig or zag. This noise almost sounds like its being made by a dish-faced popper, but without a popper s big splash or spit. The 118's knock or "pop" is also quite noticeable. The big, powerful 138 drowns out some of the sound of its internal knocker by how much turmoil its large body makes agitating the water, but if trophy fish are what you crave, the Slim Stick 138 is the size for you.
With the thin body of the Slim Stick, when a fish bites it is easily swallowed - so fish get hooked securely and few fish are lost.
The Slim Stick is designed for flat or lightly rippled water conditions. If waves or a surface chop gets stronger, try a Bonga Minnow or the GhostWalker instead.
