I decided to give the Wave worms a try so a couple of weeks ago I bought several packages at Wally

World.  I caught one bass at my local pond with one and haven't had any other success with them......

until today.  I stopped off at the river, for a few minutes, with a minimum of tackle.  Because storms were imminent I hadn't planned to stay too long. I was fishing a Tiki stick weightless and just pulling it slowly through the water creating a slim profile and a very nice Northern decided it looked very tasty.  After a brief fight and some spectacular tail walks I had him close to the bank but he broke my line. I was ill prepared with wrong rod(line) no net and no pliers. So he's swimming around with a Shad laminate Tiki Stick. I hope some one else gets him and gets the hook out. Minnows under bobbers seem to be the popular bait for bass in our river and apparently pike like that look as well. I will definitely be back with the Tiki stick, trying again.

The only waveworm I like is the Sweet Potato Pie color in 5inch, theres just something about that color which I have confidence in.  Other then that the only stick baits I fish are Senkos/Dingers.

i love the tiki sticks. they are much cheaper than the yamamoto kind. and they have a neat scent on them. i think they call it monolopo or soemthing. my walmart sells the waveworm tiki sticks and they sell kinami, which is a company started by gary yamamotos's son. the kinami flash is the same thing as the senko and tiki stick. but i do alot of wacky rigging and the number one stick worm for that is the strike king 3x zero. those things never tear and are so skwishy and wiggly they are PERFECT for wacky riggin. i like shad colotrs or red or white.
