SEBILE’s Stick Shadd Hollow Redefines Versatility

The Stick Shadd Hollow is a new SEBILE® soft plastic bait designed to be just as effective and versatile as its hardbait cousin, but with even more advantages including weedless rigging.

Actually, the Stick Shadd Hollow can be rigged and fished in just about every way imaginable: on a jighead, on a drop-shot rig, wacky style and even on a fireball or bluefish rig.

What makes the Stick Shadd Hollow so versatile is the same “Power Keel” design of the original Stick Shadd hardbait. The Power Keel delivers the amazing and unpredictable swimming, jerking, darting and sliding action that brings the lure to life.

Every angler will appreciate being able to take advantage of concealing a hook inside the Stick Shadd Hollow so it can be fished virtually anywhere, even in the nastiest of cover. The best way to do this is with an offset worm hook, used with or without weights. Patrick Sebile has designed the SEBILE Soft Weight System for this purpose, making it easy to add or remove weight as fishing conditions dictate.

The system’s 5/0 offset hook is inserted through the nose like in rigging a plastic worm and then brought back out below the bait’s chin. Before re-inserting it into the bait’s belly, add as many of the tungsten soft weights onto the hook as desired and position them either forward or back on the shank depending on whether a nose descent is wanted or a horizontal belly fall. With weights in place, the hook then is inserted into the belly and is pushed upwards so the point ends up parallel to and just underneath the lure’s back.

For this rigging, the angler will then want to remove the Stick Shadd Hollow’s special “Easy Strip” from its back. The innovative Easy Strip was designed by Sebile to provide an open cutout on the back of the lure for technical riggings and better fish-hookup ratios. The Easy Strip is not removed when using the lure on jigheads or on bait rigs.

The new SEBILE Flats Jighead is an excellent choice for use with the Stick Shadd Hollow because its unique shape does add to the action of the soft plastic lure and the head’s bait-holding collars keep the body snugly in place.

And because of shape and design, the Stick Shadd Hollow is great for skipping under docks, mangroves and other overhanging obstacles.

The Stick Shadd Hollow comes in ProPacks with spare bodies and the SEBILE Soft Weight System. The 4" model has four bodies in the pack, one hook and six tungsten weights.

Stick Shadd Hollow comes in several beautiful hand painted color finishes, including Translugreen, Trueblue, Orangee Bait, Menhy, Violet Silver and Transluclear. Stick Shadd Hollow ProPacks retail for about $13 each (U.S. dollars).
