Clive is absolutely correct. It would usually be said as "in the sticks" or "out in the sticks."
Examples in sentences are:
I grew up in the sticks, so I had to learn how to engage in sophisticated conversation about nothing in particular.
My cousin lives so far out in the sticks that we seldom see each other and have little in common to talk about when we do.
