Having caught my first marlin on a stickbait this year, I can say its one hell of an experience. A day to remember for a long time to come!]]> Wed, 29 Jun 2016 09:09:56 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118066&PID=1643664&title=marlin-on-stickbaits#1643664 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118066&PID=1643663&title=marlin-on-stickbaits#1643663 Author: Marligator

Yes it would be great to see that alright. It is a great place to try new ideas out alright as you have enough fish to get a really good handle on what works and what doesn't, and who cares if it falls off, just go and catch another.]]> Wed, 29 Jun 2016 08:56:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118066&PID=1643663&title=marlin-on-stickbaits#1643663 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118066&PID=1643662&title=marlin-on-stickbaits#1643662 Author: fsholc

Nah we have never trolled them Vance as i couldn't see the point haha. Hard enough to hook em with 2 tiny hooks let alone with 100g's off wood thrown in the mix!
We just cast for them while the other boys are hooked up. Pretty cool seeing a dorsal come sliding in from about 30m away straight to the stickbait to smash it

Luke have you guys tried trolling one up on the banks to see how they go as a trolled lure compared to a conventional lure.

In the 1990's there was a lure brand called Sperry which was similar in concept, the guys using them had a lot of hits but the hookup rate was terrible, they tried trebles, singles, also tried them with holes drilled through the center to make them slide up the line so they could be rigged like a conventional lure, they even cut a slot in the top so the point of the hook was a lot closer to the front of the lure, all of this was to no avail as the hookup rate was always lousy.]]> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 06:37:53 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118066&PID=1643542&title=marlin-on-stickbaits#1643542 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118066&PID=1643466&title=marlin-on-stickbaits#1643466 Author: fsholc

About 50% or higher
Once they on they dont seem to fall off though during the fight
