Why is the SWR so high on my IC 705 with my Signal Stick Antenna??

Why is the SWR so high on my IC 705 with my Signal Stick Antenna??

In this video I look into trying to get the SWR better by installing a tiger tail to my IC705.
Don’t get me wrong the signal stick is totally usable but I thought the SWR would have been better.
SWR isn’t everything but I don’t want it so high that it hurts my radios, so I want to do some receive testing with these antennas and a couple others I have later.
