Description

Ika (squid) strips are not your regular strip lure. Ika strips is a 3 sided strip like a triangle that gives its unique action and reflection in the water. It then tapers down to a tip. Because of its shape there is more surface area that contacts water causing good movement in this lure. Hook recommendation: Limerick (size 6 or 8), MZ or AH (size 6) Ideal use: Opelu, Akule, Halalu Ika Strips measurement: 1.5X.25

Field Notes

Use Ika Strips on a small hook setup (recommended Limerick size 6–8 or MZ/AH size 6) and fish it where baitfish/squid-like forage is active. The lure’s triangular, high-surface-area shape is meant to create strong movement and reflection as you work it steadily or with small twitches.

Pros

  • Triangular strip design increases water contact for strong movement
  • Reflective action helps draw attention
  • Compact size (1.5x0.25) suitable for small baitfish/squid presentations

Cons

  • Requires proper hook selection and rigging (hook not included)
  • Best results depend on matching local target species and presentation
