Description

The Hybrid Hunter features a fat-bodied, flat-sided shape with a unique “L-Shaped” 90-degree bill. Combined, these features create a hard thumping, exaggerated hunting action with an extremely loud rattle that causes fish to strike with a vengeance. 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.” The Hybrid Hunter baits are designed to be fished on heavy line and perform best in the 1 to 5-foot of water range.

Field Notes

Designed for shallow water and works best in 1 to 5 feet. The bait’s loud rattle and hunting action make it a good choice when you want to cover water and trigger reaction strikes, especially around cover or when bass are keyed on aggressive prey. It can also be fished in situations where anglers might normally throw a lipless crankbait, jerkbait, or swimbait.

Pros

  • Hard-thumping hunting action
  • Extremely loud rattle
  • Effective in shallow water
  • Buoyant body helps keep it in the strike zone

Cons

  • Best suited to shallow water
  • May be less subtle in clear or pressured conditions
