There is really no wrong way to fish a Stick Shadd, but if you’re targeting big Striper in the canals, or fishing heavy swift current, try to allow the Stick Shadd to sink and run with the flow of water (even with a mostly slack line) instead of working the lure against the rip. The beauty of the larger / heavier Stick Shadds, is they remain stable in extremely turbulent water and unlike most lures, the less you try to work em’, the more strikes you seem to get. Next time the opportunity arises to drift fast water, go against your instincts and let the current do all the work as if you were fishing with a weightless live eel and see how the fish respond in your area The favorite lure of Sebile founder and innovator, Patrick Sebile, the Stick Shadd was designed to be entirely controlled by the angler to cover almost all fishing situations. Offered in a wide variety of sizes, buoyancies, and colors the Stick Shadd is one of Sebile’s most innovative designs. Sinking & Fast-Sinking models are perhaps the most versatile overall because they can be used at any depth from top to deep.
