Fish It Your Way: Meet the New Zilla Baits TicTak!
We have an exciting new release hitting the shop, and it is easily one of our favorite setups to date (0:00)! Meet the Zilla Baits TicTak, the newest—and smallest—addition to the renowned Hooker family (0:08). If you are looking for a versatile profile that gives you total presentation freedom on the water, this is the bait you need in your box.
What Makes the TicTak Different?
Unlike other swimbaits in its class, the TicTak is built to get down where the big ones hunt (0:21). After refining the design through four different body iterations, it has been perfected into a high-performance musky machine (1:00).
- Substantial Weight & Depth: It is heavy, allowing it to run a little deeper than comparable baits on the market (0:21).
- Unique Rolling Action: It features a distinct top-to-bottom roll and a massive belly flash that fish can't resist (0:26).
- Constant Movement: Built with a durable resin body and a soft-plastic paddle tail, the tail is always flickering and kicking, even when paused (0:44).

How to Fish the TicTak
There is truly no wrong way to fish this bait. It is designed to let you adjust your presentation on the fly without ever swapping lures:
- The Pull and Pause: Work it aggressively with hard pulls, then let it sit.
- The Straight Burn: Retrieve it fast to create a chaotic, high-speed presentation (0:30). It compliments a traditional bucktail beautifully (0:36).
- The Yo-Yo: Jig it vertically up and down back to the boat (0:36). Underwater footage confirms the tail never stops kicking on the fall (0:36).
Quick-Change Tail System
Don't worry about aggressive muskies tearing up your gear. While the resin body is incredibly tough, the soft-plastic tail will inevitably take some battle scars. We offer quick, easy replacement tails right at the shop so you can swap colors or fix up a chewed bait and get straight back in the water.
The TicTak is available in a massive array of killer color schemes—including Crappie, Frosted Cisco, Criminal, Fire & Ice, Walleye, and Orange Tiger.
