Strategic Angler Frantic-SS (Slow Sink) Series Stickbaits

The Sardine is one of the world’s most prolific (and popular) fish species.  They are extremely important in the food chain because of their massive numbers and high caloric content.   Sardines are rich in fats and oils which nourish a huge diversity of fish, invertebrates and mammals including humans.  They congregate in massive numbers and when separated from their bait ball during an attack, they will swim as fast as they can exposing bright sides of silver and blue- a welcome sight to a hungry predator. Put some Owner Stinger ST-66 Trebles, or your choice of inline single hooks on, and get ready for the bite from a fish of a lifetime.

The FRANTIC series was inspired through the body shapes of Sardines and Ballyhoo.  The term “frantic” was appropriately chosen because it mimics the crazed action of a bait fish when chased by a predator.

From a slow to medium retrieve, this lure will consistently wobble side to side or dart away.  Enticing fish to bite with an action like no other is what makes this the perfect lure for every fishing situation.
