Legendary lure-maker Lonnie Stanley, known for his jig and spinnerbait designs has loaned his expertise to Stanley's newest innovation, the Sidewinder. The Sidewinder's “soft ringed” body sinks slower and with a life-like movement that drives bass crazy. Multiple rings surround the soft bait from tip to tail, trapping air as its cast and giving it slight buoyancy.
As it falls, tiny air bubbles escape allowing the bait to sink at a deadly slow pave. The Sidewinder stays in the water column longer maximizing its visibility in the strike zone. The Sidewinder is extremely versatile. With the air chamber in the tail causing it to stand up, the bait is ideal for shakey heads.
The tip of the hook can be exposed yet it's hidden in the rings, making it weedless. It is outstanding for "wacky worming". Paired with the Stanley T-Wacky hook either 1/16 or 1/8-oz., the weighted hook and slow-sinking Sidewinder “fight” each other, giving it a life-like action whether the bait is hooked through the middle or the nose.
When eaten, the multiple rings collapse in the fish's mouth giving the real-feel of live bait. The rings are so flexible that when trying to grab the bait in the water, it feels like trying to hold on to a live worm or snake. The Sidewinder is available in eleven top producing colors.
How to fish the Sidewinder For muddy water or night fishing, you can put a rattle in the chamber for added attraction. But, when using the Sidewinder without a rattle, the chamber becomes an air pocket that causes the tail to stand straight up. A slight shake of the rod allows trapped air bubbles in the rattle chamber to escape. The Sidewinder resting on the bottom is a deadly imitation of a crawfish. A slight twitch of the bait by the angler, releases air bubbles and makes the bait “breathe” much like a crawfish does when laying in hiding.
The 5½" Sidewinder can also be trimmed to a 4 or 4 ½" length and fished as a "jiggin" eel, with the air pocket in the tail giving it a floating snaky action; or insert a rattle in the chamber making the Sidewinder a deadly muddy-water jig trailer. Put a rattles in and slip it on a spinnerbait and you have the world's first rattling spinnerbait trailer!
The
Sidewinder is great for Texas and Carolina rigging or dead-sticking.

Swimming a jig is a great technique for bass fishing and now Stanley has a jig designed just for that. "We've shaped the SwimMax Jig head perfectly for swimming over grass, pads, and all kinds of structure" says Lonnie Stanley. "It's also great over fallen timber." This jig won't roll on a fast retrieve.
The
SwimMax Jig is great for grass, pads, and thick cover. Add a
trailer for more action. With the patented Wedgehead design, it's like
adding four wheel drive to a jig. It's the most

Those big lunkers under those thick pads just can't resist this big ol frog – the Stanley Ribbit - swimming and kicking up racket.
Now you can work a Ribbit along the top like a Pop R. Stop N Go the Ribbit along weed lines or fish it weedless in the thickest of cover. It won't sink so you can lay it right in the strike zone above those lunkers. A favorite way to fish the floater is using a slow slight twitch like an injured frog.
The Floating Ribbit scoots, sputters and splashes across the surface. Fish it much like a buzz bait, or another great way to fish the floater is using a slow slight twitch like an injured frog. The Floating Ribbit is virtually weedless and can be worked in extremely heavy cover. Also, work it over logs, grass beds, and lily pads.
Fishing Tip - Ribbits are excellent for night fishing; frogs are extremely active after dark and big bass are tuned in to this during hot summer nights. You will love working this weedless wonder over logs, grass beds, and lily pads. Rigged properly you can work this lure almost anywhere.
Features Include: Comes in 21 colors Size 4" About $ 3.99 per 5 pak
