The Dead Head - Minimum order 12
What the heck is a dead stick head? What the heck is dead sticking? As the name implies, keeping your rod still and
letting the rocking and drifting action of the boat do the ‘work’, is dead sticking – there ain’t much to it. When the
temperatures go down, dead sticking tactics are deadly!!
Fish are cold blooded and by definition, when the water gets colder (below 48 ºF or so), they are not going to chase a bait that is ‘zooming’ by or being ‘slow rolled’ for that matter. They’ll suspend in one place in the water column and they’ll strike a lure if the lure is dangling in front of them by the rocking action of the boat or if it drifts by them very slowly as the wind pushes the boat along – but they won’t chase it.
Dead sticking heads are typically 0.75 ounce and 1.0 ounce. Normally, these sizes are sufficient to keep the lure in
position as you “work them”. ReAxtion Dead Sticking heads are more balanced when compared to regular round head jigs or
Coho heads. I usually rig up two rods and place the butt of the rods against my hips. And basically, stand there……and
wait for the strike. Often the tap is light so do not hesitate to set the hook. Often, the strike on the dead stick
lure is the same as a hit on live bait. It’s a thrilling sight to see the rod tip go down into the water and under the boat!
What makes the ReAxtion Dead Head different? As shown by the pictures above, you can see that the eye of the hook is moved further to the rear of the head. This helps the lure in the water appear to be more natural than a round head lure or Coho head. There is one other advantage to dead sticking………you can often dead stick all day and never see another boat. Not many folks will brave the winter months to chase striped bass. Never a problem with launching when the temperatures are in the 40 ºF BUY NOW !!! IF THESE DON'T WORK, I'LL REFUND 5% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE :)All lures are individually hand painted and none are the same. The lure colors with highlights vary from just the nose being highlighted to the back and/or belly of the lure being highlighted. I do not create the lures until you order.......so the paint is fresh.... Seriously, there are many color combinations and I cannot stock such an inventory. So, I keep "blanks" in stock and the color you order is painted after I receive the order. Since I use the best paints in the industry today, it takes 24 hours between coats for the paint to cure. Therefore, typical ship time is 3 to 4 days after you order.
