Temple Reef "RIP Stick" Sinking Stickbait The Temple Reef RIP Stick has long been a quiet favorite among topwater and stickbait enthusiasts—previously produced in limited numbers and available only through select dealers. Now, we’re expanding production so more anglers can experience its proven performance. Each RIP Stick is hand-carved from premium paulownia wood and built with a heavy-duty stainless steel wire-through construction, delivering exceptional strength and durability during violent strikes and long fights with powerful pelagics. This sinking stickbait delivers a tight, natural kick and glide on the retrieve, and an enticing fall that draws predatory fish in from distance. Its versatile sinking profile makes it effective for tuna, GT, amberjack, kingfish, snappers, and a wide range of reef and open-water species. Cast it over structure, into schooling bait, or across offshore feeds—its lifelike action consistently triggers bites even in tough conditions. Hooks Sold Separately: Pair the RIP Stick with your preferred inline single hooks or treble hooks (sold separately) to suit your target species and local requirements. Hook Size Recommendations Weight Length Treble Hooks Inline Hooks 40g 5" 1/0 – 2/0 3/0 – 4/0 Note: Inline single hooks and treble hooks are not included with the lure and are sold separately.
