My new "magic" rig

It's really simple; a slim sticko on a TruTungsten Ike's Spike jighead. I got a bunch of these skinny stickos when I bought a Sticko kit from BPS. I didn't see the skinny ones in the box when I bought it; I discovered them later when I opened it up to try them out. I tried one on a small EWG hook, and was underwhelmed. I put them away and forgot about them until I ran out of Zomm finnesse worms one day. I'd been enjoying some slow, but steady action using the finnesse worm on a jighead when I ran out of the color that was producing that day. I put on one of the stickos and toosed it shallow to see what it looked like. It had a lot more movement than the finesse worm. A nice wiggle and erratic fall, a wiggle when it hit the bottom, and nice wavy action at it slowly fell over. I thought id I was a fish, I'd eat it. And they did. That was last summer. Been using them occasionally ever since.

It was this year that I tried the Ike's Spike. Found some on sale at Dick's. The hook shape is similar to an EWG, so it puts the point and barb laying on top of the plastic, just like an EWG. It also has an extra little bend at the head that holds the bait against the jighead nicely. Now this is one of my go to baits. There's something about this combination that just puts fish in the boat.

Give it a try. You jusy might like it. I know the fish do.

Cheers,

That could work with a Spot Remover Jig, think I'll add this one to my things to try list

Catt, the "peg" on the Spot Remover that goes into the bait is way too big for the Slim Sticko. I tried it. The Spot Remover is a really good jighead, but not for these skinny baits.

Cheers,

Sounds like you guys should take a look at *** Hookerheadz jigs. They are a round ball jib with a good sized, quality hook and in place of the lead stud on the Spot Removers it has a smal Matzuo #1 (i think, this could be wrong buts its a darn small hook) turned point down to hook the top of the worm into. It holds much better (to me anyway as I have tried almost every other type of jig head like this I have found). And on top of everything else they are not as expensive as the Ikes heads or Spots.

I just got mine in the mail yeasterday and took them out and put on of my go-to baby bass roboworms on and fished for a couple hours and caught 11 LM three being keepers and didnt ever have to adjust the way it was rigged.
