Why would you want to do that? have you not seen how much stickbaits cost. Then to attach light line would surely be a one way kamikaze trip. Suggested lure to try...Carpenter GT gamma lures work well.

i fished Nelson with metal jigs and had couta jumping out of the water chasing them,
30 to 60gm chrome if you can find any they work a treat...

just be careful i had a rod in the rod holder and the jig swung out from the boat within a flash a couta had nailed it, that was at least 3ft from the surface, they just love anything shinny....

you can get them going like dolphins just by casting and retrieving across the surface...

its not the one you hook up that normally bites you off its his mates trying to grab the other half sticking out of its mouth...

so either a light wire trace or at least 100/150lb nylon trace will land a few before you need to change it again...

or you could make something up out of a old knife chromed/stainless from the kitchen drill a hole front and back split rings hook what ever anything with a bit of weight to make casting easy...

have fun...
