MCARTHY BAITS 5" FAT STUMPI SOFT PLASTIC STICKBAIT

The McArthy Baits 5" Fat Stumpi is a premium salt-loaded soft plastic stickbait designed to deliver exceptional casting distance, lifelike movement, and versatile bass fishing performance. Building on the success of the original McArthy Stumpi, the Fat Stumpi features a significantly thicker body, increased weight, and an innovative jointed design that produces an irresistible wiggling action on the fall.

Measuring 5 inches (approximately 127mm) and weighing 12.4g, the Fat Stumpi features a substantial body profile with a 33% increase in weight compared to the original model. This additional weight provides excellent casting performance, particularly when fishing weightless, allowing anglers to reach distant targets without relying on additional sinkers.

One of the lure's standout features is its unique flexible joint, which enhances movement despite the thicker body construction. This innovative design allows the Fat Stumpi to produce a natural, enticing wiggle as it sinks through the water, making it particularly effective for triggering strikes during the fall.

The salt-loaded soft plastic formulation contributes to the lure's weight and provides the characteristics needed for versatile finesse and power-fishing presentations.

Highly effective when fished weightless, Wacky Rigged, Neko Rigged, or on a lightly weighted Texas Rig, the Fat Stumpi offers anglers a variety of presentation options for targeting bass in different fishing conditions.

The lure is also suitable for Carolina Rigs, Mojo Rigs, and Drop Shot presentations, allowing anglers to adjust their approach according to water depth, structure, and fish behaviour.

Designed for use with straight-shank and Wacky hooks, the McArthy Fat Stumpi is a versatile soft plastic lure for anglers who prefer natural falling action and controlled presentations.

Available in 31 proven colour options, the Fat Stumpi provides a wide selection of patterns to suit different water conditions and fishing preferences.

Whether targeting pressured bass in shallow water, working around submerged vegetation, or presenting a larger stickbait profile near underwater structure, the McArthy Baits 5" Fat Stumpi offers outstanding versatility and fish-catching potential.
