Ima Little Stik 135 Walking Bait
The Ima Little Stik 135 Walking Bait is a premium topwater pencil popper built for anglers who want long casts, easy walk-the-dog action, and serious surface commotion. Measuring 135mm, or 5.5 inches, and weighing 1 oz, the Little Stik gives bass anglers a tournament-sized version of Ima’s proven Stik-style topwater action.
Designed to walk, pop, spit, and throw water across the surface, the Little Stik 135 is built for drawing aggressive strikes from bass and other predator fish. Its rear-weighted design improves casting distance and helps the bait land in a ready-to-work position, so it starts walking and pushing water as soon as the retrieve begins.
Walk, Pop, Spit & Call Fish Up
The Ima Little Stik 135 is designed to create multiple topwater actions in one bait. It can be walked side to side, popped, sputtered, or worked with a steady cadence to imitate an injured or fleeing baitfish. The unique head design helps push water forward and create surface disturbance that fish can track from a distance.
Rear-Weighted Casting Design
The rear-weighted body gives the Little Stik excellent casting distance, making it a strong choice for schooling fish, wind-blown points, open water, flats, grass edges, and long-distance target casting. Long casts help keep the bait in the strike zone longer and allow anglers to cover more water efficiently.
Topwater Pencil Popper Profile
As a pencil surface popper, the Little Stik blends the side-to-side action of a walking bait with the splash and water movement of a popper. The lifelike finish, large eyes, internal rattle chamber, and #4 hooks make it a strong option when fish are feeding on shad, herring, bluegill, mullet, or other surface forage.
