Talk about flexibility! There are several ways to rig the DoLive Stick and the bait has a belly slit to accommodate Texas rigging with large worm hooks and even a channel at the top of the bait to conceal the hook's point.

Naturally, you can just nose hook the bait in a drop-shot like presentation, and there are suggested nose-hook placements on the bait for different actions.

Both have tails that get fatter at the end like a bull's tail

A close inspection of the bottom side of the bait at its imaginary chin reveals three indentations. These are suggested hook placements supposedly change the action of the DoLive Stick as it descends in the water affecting body roll and tail action. The differences are pretty subtle but sometimes, that's all that's needed to trigger a fish from looking at a bait to hitting it.

The standard DoLive Stick is just a hair less tall

My favorite way to fish the bait was to nose hook it at the first indentation. I felt this gave the bait the most freedom to move around as it descended in the water column, and also at rest on tight line while drop-shotting. Any little shake of the rod tip with the bait hooked in this position was enough to activate the bait's tail to dance around.

The bait quickly tapers down to the tail

Conversely, Texas rigging this bait really limits body movement, but still allows that tail to swing around and dance. If you're looking for a more subtle, almost finesse-style punch bait, the DoLive Stick would work very well in this capacity.
