Bluewater Stickbait Floating Gold - Tough Lure for Game Fish

From the hands of the seasonedGillies craft team, the Bluewater Stickbait Floating Gold is a precision topwater lure built for offshore giants. This through-wire stickbait balances rugged durability with a lifelike finish, designed to trigger explosive strikes from the ocean’s top predators—giant trevally (GTs), tuna, and tarpon alike.

What makes this lure stand out isn’t just its look—it’s the engineering that backs every cast and chase. A heavy-duty through-wire core resists brutal pulls and savage pulls, so you stay in control when the bite comes from the fastest, hardest-smashing fish on blue-water days.

• Through-wire construction: a robust core that stands up to brutal hits and keeps the action consistent through season after season.
• Handcrafted with crystal-clear resin: each lure is finished in a transparent resin that adds depth, shimmer, and lifelike translucence to draw strikes from wary giants.
• Floating surface action: designed to ride the surface with a subtle wake and erratic glides that provoke surface feeders during dawn and dusk feeding windows.
• Ideal proportions for distance and stability: at 180mm and 74g, it delivers impressive casting distance while maintaining a true-tracking profile at high speeds—perfect for hi-speed trolling and fast, cast-and-retrieve retrieves.
• Three-color versatility with Gold highlight: the Gold finish offers brilliant flash in sunlit blue-water, while two additional colorways boost visibility in stained or low-light conditions.
• Target-focused design: engineered to entice big, aggressive species—GTs, tuna, tarpon—by combining natural baitfish cues with a battle-tested build.
• Durability in harsh saltwater environments: resin body paired with a through-wire core resists tearing, maintaining action and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

How this lure unlocks big-game possibilities

Whether you’re laying down long runs of water with hi-speed trolling or working a precise cast-and-retrieve along breaking flats, the Bluewater Stickbait Floating Gold stays on plane at the surface and delivers a seductive, unpredictable action that predators can’t resist. The lifelike sparkle and depth from the resin finish help you attract strikes from wary fish even in challenging light and water conditions.

Practical tips to maximize bites

• Use hi-speed trolling to keep the lure at the surface and trigger explosive hits from fast-meter game fish.
• Vary the retrieve: steady pulls, short pauses, and occasional sharp snaps produce different surface dynamics; adapt to water clarity and fish mood.
• Match color to environment: Gold flashes brilliantly in clear, sunlit water; switch to the other colorways in stained or shaded conditions for maximum visibility.

Care and maintenance

Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and allow the lure to dry completely before storage. Inspect the through-wire and hooks regularly, and replace hardware as needed to preserve optimal performance on the next offshore session.

Designed for serious anglers seeking unmatched topwater performance, the Bluewater Stickbait Floating Gold represents Gillies’ commitment to rugged construction, exacting detail, and proven results on demanding blue-water days.
