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.
