Stickbaits
Stickbaits — sinking and floating pencil lures — are essential for pelagic species off WA's coast. Compleat Angler Nedlands carries ASWB, Bassday, Carpenter, Daiwa, Duo, Evergreen, Apia, and more from 40g inshore to 200g+ offshore weapons.
Sinking stickbaits reach fish holding deeper. Floating stickbaits deliver walk-the-dog surface action.

Best stickbait for Perth tuna?
80-120mm sinking stickbaits in 20-40g on PE2-3 gear. ASWB, Bassday Crystal Pencil, and Daiwa Saltiga Dorado Slider are proven. Silver/blue or pink belly colours.
How to work a sinking stickbait?
Cast, count it down to target depth, retrieve with rhythmic rod jerks creating darting action. Vary speed and pause length until you find what triggers strikes.
Sinking vs floating stickbait?
Sinking drops through water column for fish at depth. Floating stays on top for walk-the-dog action. Sinkers more versatile; floaters more visual when fish feed on top.
What hooks for stickbaits?
Most come with trebles. For heavy offshore use, many swap to inline singles (BKK, Decoy) for easier release and better penetration.
