Shimano Orca stickbaits
New stickbaits designed for offshore pelagicsWhile it isn't a totally new technique, innovative offshore anglers have also fallen in love with stickbaiting, as not only is it sometimes the only way to draw the interest of ho-hum pelagics, but heaps of exciting visual fun as well.
The release of Shimano's Orca stickbaits last year created quite a splash, and the lineup has 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 cast extremely well and have that deadly, up-and-under sideways ducking motion through the water that drives pelagics wild — 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 replicate popular baitfish species, while others are quite radical in style. But Shimano says that the important thing is that they all get bit.
