Strike Pro Guppie: The Ultimate Glidebait
Since 2002, TrueGlide's Guppie has been the gold standard for hand-crafted wooden gliders. Numerous competition wins and catches of large fish as well as a great collector's interest can account for that!
One of the first things you notice about the Guppie is the detail in the color patterns. Until now, these colors have only been available on the hand-painted wooden baits made by Joe Peterson.
Strike Pro and CWC in partnership with Peterson are now bringing these unique colors to the masses for the first time. The color scheme includes a combination of color or glitter on the inside of the bait's transparent body, which is a unique process, combined with traditional coloring on the outside. This imitates Peterson's technique of layering paint between layers of topcoat to create a 3D effect. The Strike Pro has also recreated the characteristic 3D eyes that TrueGlide lures are known for.
In addition to the Guppie's fantastic finish, there are also several unique characteristics that make it a really hot big fish bait. Guppie's compact and convex body shape gives good hooking ability, the hook tips always end up exposed regardless of the angle. The profile and shape of the body also give the bait a proper belly flash and roll. The ability to easily choose different types of tails, thanks to the innovative screw at the back of the bait, adds another dimension. Change the character of the bait by switching to one of several rubber tails available.
