When the apples start dropping, it means one thing in New England – ALBIE season. The old salts nicknamed False Albacore “Apple Knockers” because they show up right as the apples hit the ground. These baits were built specifically for these small, high-octane pelagics that have a full-blown cult following around here. But they’ve since traveled the country, and there isn’t much out there that won’t take a bite out of these “apples.” These lures cast insanely well. On those days when the fish are sitting just outside normal range, these can reach that extra distance other baits can’t. These full-resin stickballs sink with a tantalizing fall and create a natural, methodical side-to-side action all on their own when reeling in. A slow, steady retrieve is enough to draw the strike, however the best part about stick baits is their versatility. The possibilities for action are endless! Every MIMIX bait is through-wired and precision-poured using an impact-resistant resin. Unlike traditional wood, this resin never absorbs water and is virtually unbreakable. Each bait’s internal weighting system is meticulously balanced to deliver flawless action and a controlled fall.
