The Strong Perch has so many improvements over my previous bait the Hard Perch that it had to have its own name. The Strong Perch are made with my super resin which I believe to be the most durable resin used in hard swimbaits. The Strong Perch uses my socket joints which are more stealthy then standard V notched joints plus they allow for more travel. Each joint uses two stainless steel screw eyes for superior strength and smooth swimming action. I even stepped up my game on the paint jobs. Each Strong Perch is hand painted by me from start to finish and some patterns have over 30 individual steps and layers per bait and several coats of very durable, very glossy clear. Each tail on the Strong Perch is hand painted and is made of an extremely durable rubber and should never need to be replaced. The Strong Perch have a nice thump that you and the fish can feel as you retrieve the bait. They are very versatile and can be fished many different ways. You can rip and twitch them, dead stick them ,burn them or swim them slow and steady, and everything else in between. The lipless version will also easily do a 180 with a sharp twitch.
