Shimano Orca stickbaits

Lots of fun whether you're after big or small fish

While it isn’t a totally new technique, fishing with stickbaits is catching on. Innovative offshore anglers have fallen in love with stickbaiting. Not only can it be the only way to draw the interest of fussy pelagics, the technique is heaps of exciting visual fun as well.

The release of Shimano’s Orca stickbaits last year created quite a splash. The lineup has now been expanded further with the release of smaller 140 and 145 millimetre models. 

The 140 is a sinker with an interesting free-fall shimmy, while the 145 is a floater. Both are said to cast extremely well and have that deadly, up-and-under sideways ducking motion through the water that drives pelagics wild.

The Orca stickbaits will score everything from greenback tailor in the washes, giant trevally over coral bommies, to yellowfin tuna hammering flighty baitfish well offshore.

The 140 and 145 are equipped with through-wire construction, custom pelagic-strength rings and trebles, and six highly reflective and hard-wearing colour schemes. 

Some colour combos replicate popular baitfish species, while others are quite radical. But Shimano says they will all get bit.
