Noeby 1918 Sinking Stickbait – Tuna GT Kingfish | 160mm 185mm 205mm

The Noeby 1918 Sinking Stickbait is a versatile all-round bluewater pencil built to chase tuna, GT and kingfish in inshore, offshore and bluewater environments. A sliding internal weight launches the lure on exceptional long casts, then shifts forward on the retrieve to stabilise the swimming posture. Built tough with a reliable thru-wire construction to handle the full force of large pelagics, the 1918 rewards skilled anglers with multiple distinct actions — each one effective for different conditions and fish moods.

Key Features

• Sliding internal weight — weight slides rearward during the cast for maximum casting distance, then shifts forward to stabilise the lure on the retrieve
• Thru-wire construction — heavy-duty internal wire runs the full length of the body, holding together under repeated strikes and the full power of large pelagic fish
• Smooth S-swim on steady retrieve — on a simple linear reel retrieve the 1918 generates a smooth, fluid S-shaped swimming action that entices fish unwilling to come up to the surface to feed
• Twitching and dog-walk — long slow sweeps and pauses or fast twitches both produce a sub-surface dog-walk action; all retrieve styles work effectively
• Skittering surface action — a sharp rod jerk causes the lure to skip and skitter across the water’s surface, triggering aggressive reaction bites and covering ground quickly
• Shimmy on the drop — during the sinking phase the lure has an enticing wobbling shimmy that naturally mimics a dying baitfish, drawing tuna and pelagics up from considerable depth
• 3 sizes available — match lure size to target species and baitfish present on the day
