About this lure

The Halco – Slidog 105 is one of the most versatile stickbaits you can carry, perfectly sized to tempt everything from snapper and kahawai through to hard-hitting kingfish. Sitting right in the sweet spot, it casts like a rocket yet remains light enough to fish comfortably on standard softbait gear.

  • Sweet-spot 105mm profile – Small enough for inshore species, big enough for serious predators
  • Medium sinking action – Covers the water column with controlled sink rate
  • Easy-to-work stickbait – Produces action on a straight wind, sweeps, or pauses
  • Signature shimmy on the drop – Side-to-side fall that triggers strikes at any depth
  • Long-cast 28g weight – Casts effortlessly while still suited to lighter tackle
  • Versatile inshore weapon – Ideal for snapper, kahawai, and opportunistic kingfish

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Slidog 105 is a medium-sinking stickbait that works the surface-to-mid-water zone on a straight retrieve, sweeps, or pause-and-drop cadence. Cast it on standard softbait gear and work it with steady wind or sharp rod sweeps to trigger the signature shimmy; pause to let it sink on a controlled drop, where its side-to-side fall often draws strikes. The 28g weight casts effortlessly, making it ideal for covering ground quickly.

Target snapper, kahawai, and kingfish in inshore waters. Fish it over reefs, drop-offs, and structure where predators hunt. Vary your retrieve speed and pause length to match conditions-faster action in clear water or low light, slower presentations when fish are cautious.
