Engineered for realism, strength, and performance, the 2026 floating VIPER 180 (75g) is your new must-have floating stickbait for offshore big-game action.
Key Features:
-
Sardine-Inspired Realism: The design of our stickbait is inspired by the natural movements and appearance of sardines, a favored prey of tuna and pelagic fish. The realistic profile and action of the lure mimic the swimming patterns of these baitfish, ensuring it attracts the attention of even the most discerning predators.
How to Use:
-
Casting Precision: Employ a sturdy saltwater rod and reel combination to cast the Viper180 Stickbait with accuracy. Locate areas where pelagic fish are likely to congregate, such as drop-offs, reefs, and current edges.
-
Retrieve Technique: Use a combination of steady and erratic retrieves to mimic the natural movements of baitfish. The holographic finish will come to life in the water, creating flashes that are irresistible to predators. Vary your retrieve speed and pauses to imitate wounded or fleeing prey.
-
Topwater Action: The Viper180 Stickbait is designed to float enticingly on the water's surface, making it an excellent choice for topwater action. Twitch the lure with short and sharp movements to imitate struggling baitfish. Explosive strikes from species like GT (giant trevally) are not uncommon with this technique.
-
Versatile Targeting: While optimized for big tuna, the Viper180 Stickbait is an all-around pelagic magnet. Target species like mahi-mahi, Amber Jack, kingfish, and even the mighty GT with this versatile lure.
-
Adapt to Conditions: Tailor your approach to prevailing conditions. During calm seas, focus on subtler movements to imitate calm baitfish. In choppy waters, a more aggressive retrieve can attract attention from a distance.
-
Play the Waiting Game: Remember, patience is key. Allow the Viper180 Stickbait to work its magic, giving fish ample time to assess and strike. A sudden pause in the retrieve can often trigger a hesitant fish into committing to the attack.
