The Carpenter 175mm 65g Stickbait is a handcrafted Japanese surface lure built for serious offshore anglers targeting powerful pelagic species.

Designed to cast effortlessly while producing Carpenter's renowned sliding "S" action, this lure excels when worked with long rod sweeps and subtle pauses. The slim baitfish profile perfectly imitates saury, garfish and fusiliers — common prey for kingfish, Spanish mackerel, tuna and GT.

Finished in a premium Blue Sardine Holographic pattern with Carpenter's signature handcrafted timber construction, this lure is equally at home casting from the rocks at Quobba or offshore over reef edges. Carpenter stickbaits are produced in limited numbers and remain among the most sought-after handcrafted lures in the world.
