Trophy Sticks lures are hand-crafted stickbaits designed for anglers targeting trophy-class brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striper, crappie, mackinaw and all types of salmon. It is a proven fact that big fish eat little fish, and this is why Trophy Sticks minnow baits are such a versatile lure for all types of trophy fishing.In years past top anglers fished with custom-painted stick baits of all types, which typically required a lot of work sanding and painting and reinforcing the diving lips so they could withstand aggressive strikes from 10-pound and larger fish, as well as banging into submerged structures such as stumps and boulders.

Trophy Sticks does all this work for you, allowing you more time on the water. Anglers have found Trophy Sticks custom-painted baits to be extremely deadly for many years. Our patterns were selected by matching the forage of the lakes and rivers from Southern California to the California Delta, and from Lake Tahoe to Central Oregon - fisheries known for the largest trophy brown trout in the West. Trophy Sticks are modeled on the deadliest patterns the largest of predatory fish couldn't leave alone when they saw the presentation swimming past:

The Baby 'Bow - The best-selling stickbait in our lineup, this baby rainbow trout imitation is a favorite food for most predatory species. Every fish eats rainbow trout - especially trophy fish - because of extensive Department of Fish and Game planting of these tasty little snacks. While many fisherman gloat over catching their limit of planter fish, trophy fisherman know that the DFG is just chumming their favorite lake. The Trophy Sticks Baby 'Bow is a great meal for all bass in the California Delta river system. It's also a highly effective lure for walleye, rainbow and steelhead runs throughout the Delta, and striper love them as well. And as for big browns, mackinaw, rainbows and brookies in higher-elevation lakes? Deadly.The Tui-Chub - A tui-chub imitation, also known as a hitch or shad/shiner pattern, is a killer in California fisheries such as Clear Lake, the Delta, New Melones, Folsom Lake, Stampede Reservoir, Lake Pardee, Pyramid Lake in Nevada, Lake Tahoe, especially in the summer months and many others. Big bass and striper absolutely love this pattern. It's a long-time favorite in the upper lakes for trophy browns as well. A great lure when the clouds are out too.

The tui-chub is the most-abundant species in Central Oregon and is found in most large lakes, reservoirs, and streams. The Deschutes and Little Deschutes rivers, Odell, Crescent, Davis, East, Paulina, Lava, Little Lava, and Cultus lakes, and Crane Prairie and Wickiup reservoirs have large populations of tui-chubs.The tui-chub is native to the Klamath and Sacramento river systems and also occurs in a number of isolated interior basins of California, Oregon and Nevada. However, the tui-chub is not native to the Deschutes basin. It likely was introduced to the Deschutes basin from the Klamath basin, probably by anglers using them as live bait for trophy trout. Tui-chubs gather in large schools to spawn in or near heavily vegetated shorelines throughout June and July. A mature female tui-chub can lay nearly 5,000 eggs that will hatch in about one week. Young remain in well-vegetated shallows until reaching sexual maturity at 2 or 3 years. The fish have a typical life span of nine years and reach maximum lengths of about 11 inches. Tui-chubs feed on amphipods, Diptera larva, gastropods and cladocerans. For the most part, their food preferences mirror those of trout, especially rainbow. Tui-chubs are prey for piscivorous rainbow, brown trout, and smallmouth and largemouth bass.

The Silver Platter - This lure mirrors a baby salmon imitation, which is found throughout West Coast fisheries. It is a favorite food for giant predatory fish such as brown trout, mackinaw, trophy rainbows, large & smallmouth bass demolish it as do many other big fish as well. This lure has landed big largemouth bass at fisheries such as Folsom Lake, Clear Lake, Pardee and the Delta, and it is absolutely deadly on any highly visible Lakes. King salmon have been caught on this pattern at Lake Shasta, Lake Almanor and also has produced great success at Folsom Lake. This pattern can be used in fresh water as a kokanee or king salmon fry imitation, or ran as an anchovy or sardine imitation in saltwater. It even landed big ocean salmon in Alaska this past season as well as halibut in the SF Bay.

These three species of baitfish make up the main forage of predatory species throughout the West Coast.
