{Although written for the American market, the following press release may well be of interest to UK predator anglers – Ed}
Adventure Technology introduces the first and only lure with retractable hooks, which solves the problem of catching weeds and debris when casting in mossy, wooded, or heavily covered areas. The Slickfish lure–designed for serious fishermen and professional anglers–is a colorful plastic lure fitted with a trigger mechanism that pops the hooks out when a fish strikes.
Designed to mirror the movement of a wounded shad, Slickfish lures fall slower that traditional lures and stay in the strike zone longer, attracting more bass. Because of the retractable hooks, Slickfish lures are versatile and glide effortlessly through any body of water–including shores, docks, or open water–giving serious fishermen a sustainable, competitive edge. Slickfish can also be used as a conventional lure in open water by releasing the hooks before casting.
“A fisherman’s got about 40 lures in his tacklebox, and he knows the top two that work,†says Jimmy Everett, a top guide on
Each Slickfish lure is made by hand, instead of a machine, and is easy to set on a braided line.
