Airtail Stick

Air in the Tail. Life in the Bait.

The GrandeBass Airtail Stick is a 5.25-inch finesse stick bait built around the brand’s patented Airtail Design, featuring a hollow tail chamber that traps air for buoyancy, movement, and customization. Whether you’re fishing pressured lakes or finesse situations where subtle action wins, the Airtail Stick stands tall—literally. Its tail remains upright off the bottom, presenting a lifelike defensive posture that triggers strikes from even the most reluctant bass.
