My very own handcrafted stick bait range
Hey gang, It's been a while in the works, but after many painstaking hours of carving, painting, bending wire, inhaling sawdust & glue fumes and rigorous testing I've finally released my first batch of handmade stick baits for sale to the public. My brand name is called "Guya", pronounced goo-yah, which is the Kamilaroi Aboriginal word for fish.
They are 160mm weighing 50g with full-through 2mm stainless wire and are all hand carved from paulownia wood. They are a tail heavy floating lure with an aggressive action, diving with a violent tail kick and leaving a good smoke trail upon a sharp sweep of the rod. They can also be straight retrieved at a medium fast pace, swimming with a wide wobble just below the surface. On top of that, they can also be dog-walked very easily when rigged with a single belly hook. I recommend running a 3/0 treble on the belly and 6/0 or 7/0 on the tail, but they will also work just fine with anything from 6/0 singles, up to 4/0 trebles on both hangers as they are incredibly buoyant and capable of functioning with a wide variety of hooks. If you're interested in purchasing one, they are $144 each and are currently in stock at Tacklepower Charlestown. Call: (02) 4943 8780 Email: fish@tacklepower.com.au Thanks for checking them out

Wow, they look amazing. Cool name as well. They're a bit big for the fishing I do but good luck with them taking off.

I just broke a tooth instinctively snapping at the computer screen - love the backwards facing eye.

I've been in landbased scenarios with 10 other blokes on a pier where little details like that, put more predatory fish in the 20l chlorine bucket.
The guys using brown lures still smashed them - but the guys with the white and silver lure, with eyes on it, never missed. |

Thank you, all! I am very much focusing my attention on the details, I even make the eyes myself (they're electical tape cut out with sharpened bullet shells)

Love the ‘sail fish’ pattern on the last one. Heading to Karratha for some intense fishing at the end of the month - very happy to road test for you👍😉😁 |
