WHAT IS IT?

Strike King Hybrid Hunter

WHAT SETS IT APART?

The Strike King Hybrid Hunter is a versatile lure characterized by its fat-bodied, flat-sided design and a unique “L-Shaped” 90-degree bill. These features combine to create a hard, thumping action with a loud rattle, drawing aggressive strikes. According to Strike King pro staffer Todd Castledine, its design integrates elements of multiple baits: lipless crankbaits, jerkbaits, crankbaits and swimbaits, making it exceptionally effective in a variety of fishing scenarios.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Recommended for use in shallow waters ranging from 1 to 5 feet, the Hybrid Hunter is best fished on heavy line. Its design allows it to perform well where traditional lures might not, such as in tight spaces or near submerged structures. Utilize a varied retrieval method to take full advantage of its unique action and buoyancy.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

The Strike King Hybrid Hunter has been a game changer in my tacklebox, especially in shallow water where its loud rattle and dynamic action stimulate strikes under challenging conditions. Its multifunctional design allows it to replace several types of lures, providing unmatched versatility and effectiveness in drawing aggressive responses from targeted fish. I also really like the color Muh Knee Shad as seen in the photo above.
