I’ve trialed many stick baits for this application in my time as a professional fishing guide, and these are by far the most outstanding performers.

They can be used in the estuaries for barramundi, fingermark and threadfin Salmon. I’ve used the 36 g out as deep as 35 metres chasing large-mouth Nannygai (red snapper) and other deeper reef species with little current. They are so deadly that I developed the 36 g for deeper applications.

The other benefit is they can be used as a metal slice. If the pelagics start busting up around you, just cast it out and crank it back as you would a metal slice.

Pillager is a great versatile all-rounder with upgraded 4X hooks and split rings.
