Tiki Sticks

Went out fishing (for fun) last night with a buddy. We had one of the best days in a while, I caught 4 and my buddy got 2. Best bass was 4 3/4 pounds (digital scale) all others were 2 pounds plus. I wish we had this stringer in a tournament. All were caught on a red/black Tiki stick made by wave baits (lk Fork TX). Great bait: more durable than similar brands, slow fall rate, wiggles nice on the drop. All fish were found close to the shore (moderate weed growth), fished very slow with several pauses. They were rigged weight-less with a 4/0 owner extra wide gap worm hook (Texas rigged). They market the product as having: The power of MOLOPO (scent). Heck if they work this good again "I might be tempted to wear a grass skirt" like the Tiki man on the package (Just kidding). Give them a try!

Well, I also agree on the type of lines. I have use many diferen type of lines and now I am useing P-Line. I am here to tell you, I have straightened out worm hooks with 20# test. Also pay attention to the water you are fishing. In stained water it dont make too much diferrents, but in clear water, you might think of trying some florocarbon. The fish cant see it as much.

I was told about the Tiki Stick by a Local Federation Angler who placed 4th the weekend before about these things and the Senko worms and I gotta tell ya these things work here in CT. I've been on 2 New Lakes and after about 30 mins. I've got Bass on the line, On some of these older lakes there isn't much shallow cover and most are clear to Gin clear so fishing in 8' to 12' along deep weed lines and isolated weed patches works and using Tiki's with a 2/0 hook and a 1/8 bullet weight rigged Texas Style really works great

Frank, We just placed third in a team tournament, and caught the biggest bass. My partner and I took home money. All bass caught on red tiki sticks. I'm sold!

That's Great Butch, Now I'm no Tournament Angler but when some one tells me not only did he place 4th but turned back 27 shorts there's gotta be something to it. Yea their not cheap, and they don't stand up to too many snags' But They Catch Bass and that's what counts
