Strike Pro Suspending Shrimp????

barrajack · #1 29-05-2009, 12:15 AM

Hi people, just wondering if anyone out there has seen the new suspending shrimp from the strike pro stable????
I was at my local tackle store, making a deposit(spending), when I over heard the owner of the shop talking to a salesperson re this new lure. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at these little beauties.
From what I can understand, they are a 5cm, 3.2gm suspending shrimp pattern that comes in 6 colours, fitted quality owner trebles, ceramic beads to give the shrimp that natural clicking sound when in motion, and as usual the finish on the lures is very good. Think they might retail for around $16-$18. The owner of the shop was good enough to let me take a pic of a few, as he will be stocking them as soon as they land.
Will try and upload some pics, but I seem to be computer illiterate today they just wont upload.
As usual any feedback is appreciated.

I havnt got to try them yet but i have played with and seen all colours and they do look really good, the retail will be about 18 to 20 bucks and they swim backwards. They will be crackers for this summer. Look out for the carrot sticks to, they look very interesting.

Are they sort of like a Lucky Craft EB-R 50 or Smith Crystal Alive?

nah they are a little fatter. and have little tenticle things come off them, which i think will come off with one good fish. But i really think they will go cracker lures in places that have alot of prawns or prawn runs over summer.

On another note though hitting the shelves soon (i think) will be the Damiki Saemi lures which are going to go off chops!!! and a few other things. Check out the searingtackle website (click the link near the Damiki logo) and check out the mid year catolouge and stay tuned for photos.

Can someone find a link to this product? Never heard of it, or seen it - but it has certainly grabbed my attention!

Sounds like it could be good for flatties aswell.

I only found this information on google

I picked up 3 of these on the weekend in Coffs Harbour. Haven't swum them yet. They look excellent, great colours will post some pics at some stage.

The EBR's are rigged facing forward and are sinking as I understand it, my impression is the EBR is also slightly smaller.

The strike pro is rigged tail forward and the tail forms the bib. The feelers look a little long and like the PX 45's will probably see fish grab these and tear them off. I am hoping they are suspending, doesn't mention it on the packaging but a little lead tape will fix that anyways. From the width of the bib I suspect a wider action then a minnow.

My River is running a fairly brown again so probably won't use these for a little while.
