Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Slidog 150 is a sinking stickbait meant to be launched hard and worked fast. Its 85g mass punches long casts into strong wind and covers water, while the rapid sink gets it into the strike zone quickly after splashdown. Let it settle a moment, then rip it back with a fast, rhythmic sweep of the rod so it slides wide and tracks true across the surface and just beneath.

Keep the retrieve aggressive to trigger explosive strikes - the wide slide draws hard-fighting pelagics up to smash it. Pause occasionally to let it sink and change the action if fish are following but not committing.

Pair it with a stout stickbait rod and a strong reel loaded with braid to handle long casts and brutal fights. The reinforced sidewalls and 7/0 inline singles suit heavy pressure from kingfish and kahawai working the surface.
