Strike King Report

Finding a lure that can provide solutions to several fishing equations is not easy. However, Strike King has done exactly that with the launch of the new Hybrid Hunter and Hybrid Hunter Jr. hardbaits.

The Hybrid Hunter and Hybrid Hunter Jr feature a fat-bodied, flat-sided shape with a unique, “L-Shaped” 90-degree bill that combine to create a hard thumping, exaggerated hunting action with an extremely loud rattle.

Thanks to the shape of the body, the unique lip design and the buoyancy of the bait, Strike King pro staffer Todd Castledine said that it is more than a crankbait.

“There’s no other bait like it on the market,” said Castledine. “It can work effectively in situations many anglers throw a lipless crankbait, a jerkbait, a crankbait or a swimbait.”

Castledine reports that it is one of his most versatile lures. “I throw it anywhere and around any kind of cover,” he said. “Because of its design properties, it doesn’t dive at a steep angle, and quickly rises when paused; it’s the best hardbait I’ve ever thrown around cover – especially grass.”

The Hybrid Hunter and Hybrid Hunter Jr. are designed to be fished on heavy line and perform best in the 1 to 5-foot of water range. Available in two sizes, the Hybrid Hunter and Hybrid Hunter Jr. are sure to revolutionize your shallow water fishing game.

The Hunter dives 3 to 5 feet while the Jr. Model dives 2 to 4.
