Ditch Stick
A 1.4" floating minnow bait with a lifelike profile and subtle swim—built for bass, trout, and panfish in tight water.
Introducing the Ditch Stick—a 1.4" soft plastic minnow designed for unmatched finesse success. It’s the perfect “little snack” bait that gets eaten in creeks, ponds, and pressured water where fish won’t commit to bigger profiles. 8 per pack, ready to work.
Crafted from a premium floating plastic, the Ditch Stick hovers and lifts on the pause, adding that realistic “alive” posture fish key in on. The minnow profile swims naturally with tiny rod movements, making it deadly on slow retrieves, drifts, and subtle twitches.
Deep in the Appalachian mountains, where the mist hangs in the trees and the streams keep their own secrets, old timers spoke of something they called the Ditch Stick.
It weren’t magic like a fairytale. It was more like creek sense—something you earned. A stick you’d find cut and worn smooth by water, wedged in a ditch-run or laid across a seam like it belonged there. Folks said if you paid attention to where it showed up, it’d point you to the kind of water that holds fish year after year.
The real lesson was simple: the creek leaves signs for the patient. And if you learn to read them, you’ll find the hidden places—where the biggest, brightest trout and the meanest little bass sit waiting in the shade.
Big fish eat little fish every day. The Ditch Stick just makes it easy. When the water’s clear and the bite is picky, this minnow gets the nod.

I have the Micro Fluke "Ditch Stick" in two colors right now. The Walnut Stain and the Rhodo Bloom. I've caught several fish on both lures using a 1/32 oz. barbless Tungsten jig head from Creek Life Lure Co., and a 1/64 oz. fly tying jig head.
The lure seems to hold up pretty well to those pesky little bluegill nipping at it and also through several Crappie. One time I caught about 10 on one lure before having to replace it, and had several small bluegill nip at it as well.
The ditch stick frome creek life lure company is a great little bait for the days that fish are not really feeding as makes a great trailer for the bladed jig from creek life lure company
Have been using Berkley alive minnows for years but I'm changing to these for bluegill they will out fish them by a long shot especially the Rhodo Bloom .GREAT BAIT
Perfect for small creeks and micro fishing!
Great size but wish it be thicker and wider for the length of it. Breaks to easily
Thank you fur your feedback. We have since redesigned our fluke because we felt the same, it was to thin. We now have a newly redesigned version that has a round body. Feel free to contact us on Facebook or via the contact us link on our website and we will gladly give you a discount code so you can see if our new veraion better suits your fishing needs. We are currently also in the process of upgrading our plastics to be more durable, like a saltwater blend if you will. It will be the same material Gary Yamamoto uses. They will be tougher but they will not be stretchy like Nikko and ZMan baits. Thank you foe the feedback!
