Key Features:
Realistic Soft Action: The supple body reacts naturally on the fall, creating subtle motion that draws investigative bites.
5″ Size: A versatile size that matches common forage — big enough to trigger aggressive strikes but not so large that fish shy away.
Durable Construction: Built to withstand numerous strikes while maintaining its action and profile.
Multi-Rig Compatibility: Equally effective wacky-rigged, on a weighted hook, drop shot, shaky head, or as a trailer on swim jigs and bladed baits.
Whether you’re fishing clear lakes, stained rivers, or pressured ponds, the Hawg Stix shines in situations where finesse meets action — allowing you to fish slow and subtle or pump it with aggressive motion depending on how the fish are feeding.
 How to Fish the Hawg Stix
·Wacky Rig: Hook it in the middle with a wacky rig setup for enticing, fluttering fall action — excellent for clear water and pressured fish.
·Weighted Hook / Shakey Head: Use a weighted hook or shaky head for bottom contact presentations that draw subtle bites.
·Drop Shot: Great choice for vertical presentations — the Hawg Stix will hover enticingly above structure.
·Ned Rig: A Ned rig lets this bait fall and sit naturally on the bottom, perfect for finicky bass.
·Trailer: Pair with swim jigs, chatterbaits, or buzzbaits to add profile and enhance attraction.
 Color & Conditions Strategy
·Clear Water: Natural hues like green pumpkin, watermelon, and pearl give a realistic profile that bass find familiar.
·Stained Water: Choose darker or high-contrast colors (black/blue, junebug) to help the silhouette stand out.
·Low Light: Deep, solid colors are often easier for fish to detect at dawn, dusk, or on overcast days.
Whether you’re dropping it on structure, hopping it off the bottom, or burning it across flats, the 5″ Hawg Stix is a reliable, versatile bait that belongs in every bass angler’s tackle box.
