Ditch Stick
A 1.4" floating minnow bait with a lifelike profile and subtle swim—built for bass, trout, and panfish in tight water.
Introducing the Ditch Stick—a 1.4" soft plastic minnow designed for unmatched finesse success. It’s the perfect “little snack” bait that gets eaten in creeks, ponds, and pressured water where fish won’t commit to bigger profiles. 8 per pack, ready to work.
Crafted from a premium floating plastic, the Ditch Stick hovers and lifts on the pause, adding that realistic “alive” posture fish key in on. The minnow profile swims naturally with tiny rod movements, making it deadly on slow retrieves, drifts, and subtle twitches.
Deep in the Appalachian mountains, where the mist hangs in the trees and the streams keep their own secrets, old timers spoke of something they called the Ditch Stick.
It weren’t magic like a fairytale. It was more like creek sense—something you earned. A stick you’d find cut and worn smooth by water, wedged in a ditch-run or laid across a seam like it belonged there. Folks said if you paid attention to where it showed up, it’d point you to the kind of water that holds fish year after year.
The real lesson was simple: the creek leaves signs for the patient. And if you learn to read them, you’ll find the hidden places—where the biggest, brightest trout and the meanest little bass sit waiting in the shade.
