So you have stick baits that come with screw weights already in them, and you are gonna be using them on the FlickIt? If I am understanding that right, then yes, you should remove the screw in weight. If you have the screw weight in one end, and the FlickIt in the other end, you will have zero action. The FlickIt will likely be heavier, so even though the stick bait will fall the correct way, the screw weight will weigh down the back end so the stick bait will just fall over and wouldn’t have an “shimmy” or tail action.
