Thread: Does anyone use strike pro?

Hi all

I was just reading about the lucky craft cranks and rapala cranks on the forums and had a look on the websites. A thought sprung to mind, do any of you guys ever use Strike Pro? the reason i ask is they are so cheap in comparison to other brands. I mean most cranks are around R40.00. (Strike Pro) Just wanted to know if its worth spending more on other brands, or if id be likely to catch a reasonable amount with cheaper lures?

Any good or bad experience with this brand?

To be honest i love their brand bought a bunch of them and they are really good quality as well, i have caught more with strike pro than on rapala and the best of all u dont feel like crying wen u lose a R40 lure opposed to a R80-R150 lure. Have have also had many barble go for them whilst fishing for bass and catching a barble on bass tackle is challenging and fun.So i would recommend it and at that price u cant go wrong

HAHA thats pretty weird that you noticed barble go for them ..... i have caught about six barble off one of the strike pros i use. ive got a video of a 4.2 kg that dragged my little intex inflatable for quite a distance. SLIMY!!!!!!

Here are my strike pro barble i know its a bass forum but i did catch these while fishing for bass i caught the 2kg on my 2nd cast of the day and ten min later caught the 1.7kg sad thing is my barble pb is bigger than my bass pb and im a bass fisherman oh yes and kurper love them to the strike pro lures i mean

I used the Dwarf Wobbler Strike Pro crank for a few years and it turned out to be my most productive crank at the Vaal. Only thing I had to do was change the hooks as they were far too thin.

Yes thats the ONLY problem i found to, just a hook change everynow and then

I use them, not bad. The STORM ones not too bad either, I tend to buy the STORM ones when they are on SALE though .......

Strike Pro Lures are OK most of the time and for their price I think they are good, but as mentiontioned the hooks are soft. You also need to tune them regularly to ensure they swim right. They are no good for fast retreive or trolling as they start to spin.

Great, so now we can use them as a crank for slow retrieve, and as a spinner bait for fast. Welcome to the new F/A spinner-bait crank!

Yeah! F/A hopefully the millions you will make gets you through to retirement ......
