Featuring an aerodynamic shape, the Colt Sniper Walk can be easily worked in a walk-the dog motion. The glass fiber construction emits a high-pitch rattling sound that is sure to get any fishes attention. With wire-through construction and high durability 3x hooks the Coltsniper Walk is sure to stand up to those aggressive topwater bites.

This unweighted version has all the features of the Weighted Beast less the weight. The unweighted version is ideal for lighter baits than do not need large amounts of weight to be swam. Due the XXX-strong wire and big gap angle there is a lot of steel in this hook which allows the hook alone to act as the weight on lighter baits. "Clip-On" weights can always be added to the shank to increase the hook's weight.

PROTEUS 130

The Proteus series is the latest offering by StrategicAngler® for 2021.  The remarkable success of the clear bodied, UV enhanced Naia series led to the final development of the Proteus series to date, conceptualized many years before.

Strategic Angler released the Naia series in late 2019 for 2020.  The development of the Naia series in 2019 provided a key design element for PROTEUS.  After changing and morphing the Mikros concept-design several times over, Strategic Angler was able to take a key design concept from the Naia series and apply it to several benched prototypes.  This newfound knowledge enabled Strategic to create a brand new 5 inch hybrid lure featuring the characteristics of a “slow” stick-bait and a sinking, wobbling jig.  (The Proteus series received its final inspiration from the slow swimming Atlantic butterfish, a favorite staple of many pelagic species)

ACTION:

• Walk, twitch 
• Horizontal sinking wobble during free-fall
• Wobbling side to side swimming action with slow retrieve

TECHNIQUE:

Walk – Proteus can be made to walk with a right, left, right cadence using slow rhythmic pumps with the rod tip down.  The slower the better.   

Sinking Wobble – Let the lure rest at free spool after casting.  The lure will sink with a wide side to side wobble exposing its flanks as it goes deeper.  Majority of the strikes come at free spool so watch your line and get ready to close that bail for the hook-set!  Mix up the retrieve to achieve different presentations.

Sweep – The Proteus series does best with slow sweeps of the rod tip versus the traditional hard sweeps most stick-bait anglers are accustomed to.  The lure is perfectly balanced without the need of a belly hook so imparting softer sweeps will make the lure dance with ease.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Length: 5 inches (130 mm)

Average weight: 3.5 ounces (93-98 grams)

Terminal Wire: 0.093 inch (2.4 mm) thick x-heavy wiring

NAIA 130

Natural springs are some of the clearest and purest water sources on earth.   Naia was born based on this premise, a clear lure that best embodies its minimalist purity.  She was conceptualized over three years ago while I was searching for a way to encapsulate the best attributes of all my creations.  She did not yet have a name;  she was but a simple fluid shape that eventually became what she is today.

Naia is the latest creation offered by StrategicAngler for 2020.  She transcends the traditional design of a stickbait and a fast sinking jig.  I refer to Naia as a “she” because of her fluid lines and seductive appearance.  The omission of the belly loop creates a rhythmic side to side cadence as she free falls, while the tail hook configuration can be customized to suit your fishing style.  Naia works well with large single hooks or trebles of various sizes.  Twitches, “walk the dogs”, sweeps and a sinking flutter all successfully embody her fluid style.

A touch of UV* in the clear body illuminates her in the water, completing her scintillating form.

*not glow in the dark

TECHNIQUE:

Action

• Walk the dog; side to side cadence
• Horizontal sinking flutter during free-fall
• Wobbling side to side swimming action with slow retrieve
• Erratic action with fast retrieve

Walk – A rhythmic slow twitch will make Naia move with an alternating left and right cadence.   A quick  sweep creates a sudden commotion that reverberates in the water attracting predators in the process.

Wobble – Retrieving the lure with the rod tip down will create a slow side to side wobble.  This slow and erratic movement is reminiscent of a cruising or unwary fish.  An occasional twitch will make Naia come alive, flash on one side and then right itself.  

Sinking flutter – Cast the lure, or simply let it drop!  A free falling lure will have a more pronounced side to side flutter, so give it a few seconds for Naia to reach your preferred depth before retrieving.

Sweep – The Naia series does best with softer sweeps of the rod tip versus the traditional hard sweeps most stickbait anglers are accustomed to.  The lure is perfectly balanced without the need of a belly hook so imparting softer sweeps will make the lure dance with ease.

Single Replacement Hook XXX-Strong - Great for replacing trebles on large saltwater baits. Made with Zo-Wire, the wire strength is stronger than other traditional high carbon steel wires. This means smaller hook wire diameters for better penetration and a Super Needle Point that will not roll over or dull. These single hooks are less damaging to fish when practicing hook and release, and also safer for angler's when handling fish on boat decks. These are perfect for handling the largest of Tuna (if the lure can hold up), and Giant Trevally. Features include Vacum-tinned finish for corrosion prevention, and Super Needle Point.

ChinlockZ SWS (Snagless Weight System) weighted hooks are built on heavy-duty Mustad® UltraPoint® hooks and feature a molded chin keeper that holds softbaits securely and prevents them from sliding out of place on hard casts and missed strikes.

Ideal for fresh or saltwater, pairing the ChinlockZ with a size-matched ElaZtech softbait allows anglers to target fish around cover like grass, laydowns, rock, shell, pads, or weeds without hanging up, or cover the top portion of the water column when conditions call for a slow sinking, horizontal bait presentation
