The most important part of stickbaiting is how to swim a stickbait. If you can do that well you will get lots of strikes and catch lots of fish. Here I go into details of stickbait techniques for swimming these lures. This video is aimed at beginner to intermediate fishermen who are getting into stickbaiting.
This is part 2 of my series of how to stickbait for kingfish, see part 1 for info on gear to use. https://youtu.be/98j5ck0GCfA
Part 3 (where to find kingfish) will be out soon and maybe a part 4 (off the rocks).
