Avoid Getting Stuck in the Weeds:
Lure Exposes Hooks Only When a Fish Strikes
Slickfish™ Lures are the only lures with RETRACTABLE TWIN HOOK technology.
DALLAS, TEXAS - 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 Lake Fork in Texas. "A new lure has to
show its worth right away to make it as a top pick for serious fisherman.
Slickfish does just that, and it's always in my top two."
Each Slickfish lure is made by hand, instead of a machine, and is easy to
set on a braided line.
