About this lure

The Halco Skim Stick 185 is a unique surface lure built for blue-water anglers targeting aggressive pelagics. Blending the profile of a stickbait with the surface disturbance of a skittering popper, it perfectly imitates a long, fleeing baitfish skimming across the top when predators are on the hunt.

  • Hybrid surface design – combines stickbait profile with skittering popper action
  • Long, narrow baitfish profile – mimics fleeing prey on the surface
  • Surface-skimming action – ideal for drawing explosive strikes from pelagics
  • Clear polymer construction – durable body with internal holographic detailing
  • Inline single hook setup – fitted with Decoy 5/0 singles for safer handling and solid hook-ups
  • Blue-water capable – designed for casting and slow trolling situations

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Skim Stick 185 is a surface hybrid that combines stickbait profile with skittering popper action, making it ideal for casting to aggressive kingfish and kahawai in blue-water conditions.

Work it with steady, rhythmic strips or twitches to create surface disturbance that imitates a fleeing baitfish; the long 185mm profile and skittering action trigger explosive strikes from pelagics hunting near the top.

It's equally effective on slow trolling passes, where the surface-skimming action draws fish from below.

Pair it with solid saltwater casting gear capable of handling the lure's casting distance and the strike power of kingfish and kahawai.
