Action & Techniques
|
Action The Kiba Series Sinking Stickbait is a slower-sinking stickbait, lending itself well to slower retrieves and twitch-pause techniques. It is no slouch on faster retrieves, where it exhibits a wider, structured swim action. |

Techniques
|
|
Pro-tip: If you lose traction at any point in the retrieve, give the lure a moment to settle. Keeping your rod tip low will help maintain traction. |
