I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

They are great baits. Don't sleep on them in other areas either. I used the Clearwater minnow off bluff walls on Cherokee lake last year during the Bassmaster open as a co-angler. caught several small mouth doing this. Also open water when fish are schooling it is great to throw through busting fish. Also after using the baits since they came out be it the original and the shallow I have yet to break a bill off of either size. The gold black back is my go to on off color water or clear water and cloudy rainy conditions. Then I go Clearwater minnow or the clear gizzard shad for clear water blue bird skis. In open water for busting fish I will throw either the Oyster or chrome color in the large size. This bait has pretty much replaced all my 1.5 and 2,5 square bills and I think the shallow will replace my wake baits. I throw the large size on 20 lbs fluro and Jr on 15 lbs fluro. It does great in all cover maybe not as snap proof as a sqyare bill in brush but not far off and works great on rip rap banks. Also like you I swap my hooks and use owner st-38 on the regular size and st-36 on the Jr and change my split rings to owner hyper wire size 3.

Such a good shallow crank around wood. Glad you discovered it! 🎣🎣🎣 Get the red one, chartreuse black back and the transparent shad one. Oyster and blue craw are also good but I find the other three are the money. The shallow model is more of a wake bait and the OG model is more of a true shallow crank.

This is my go-to crankbait when I am around any grass. It really shines when i fish Guntersville. The rest of the Coosa chain, I will fish them near grass points. They are also good crankbaits on rocky points. You might not get a long-life span running them over a lot of rocks, but it will catch you a good many bass before you have torn it up beyond using it anymore.

Appreciate your comments on the hooks/consistency with sk. As I use more and more hard baits, I find I look for brands that feature out of the box solid hardware first (berkley, rapala, bill lewis). And always buy Mustad triple grips for all the other brands I find on deals. I only wish berkley would be more affordable year around! ;)

I love the hybrid Hunter! Quickly became my favorite crankbait when I started throwing it. I have it tied on one of my setups at all times now. It does come through the grass excellent. I also love it in Open Water. I use the smaller size. In Bully, chartreuse perch, and my favorite gizzard. It Dives 3- 5 ft. I would say it hovers more around three and a half to four" love it! I also thought it was the ugliest crankbait I've ever seen. But I am the truest believer now

I’ve caught 100’s of bass on the JR. through grass. This year they came out with the Shallow series and plan to use them as I head south in a couple of weeks. I also picked up a knock off of this bait from 6th Sense in Black. It has a different sound and only comes in a 3/4 oz size. Will be interesting to see how the two compare.
Used this bait for the first time last Spring in Texas and caught a lot of bass. One lake was a shallow private lake wire lots of wood, the other was Lake Fork. No problem with hooks or bills.

I remember when those first hit the market I looked at them and my first thought was it has the same bill as the Shallow Shad Raps that I use to use all the time in the local creeks and ponds around the house as a kid. Obviously its a bigger profile than majority of the Shallow Shad Raps so it really only makes sense it would do well on bigger water like lakes and rivers. Never bought any because I am usually not a big Strike King fan when it comes to hard baits. I might pick one up and go Alligator fishing though. I gotta believe they fight more than a Bass. LOL!

The HH Jr has been my favorite crank lure ever since it came out. Also, forget about what it's "meant" to do. Fish this thing anywhere you'd fish a squarebill. I absolutely killed 'em last July using this lure on rock banks. The downside to it is it's not made very well. Buy 4 or 5 of the same color and you'll find the shade to be different on one or two of them. Also, you'll need to tune half of them, and definitely change the hooks. p.s. You're a brave soul Matt, fishing barefoot around all those treble hooks. lol

I got these right as they came out about a year and a half ago. I was excited to use them because of where I fish. Gotta say, I was very disappointed in them. I was picking slop off the bill after every cast. It has good action, but the slightest bit of grass on it totally kills that action. I think that is because of how bulbous and bloated the bait is. I know guys just love these for isolated grass and vegetation, but for a fishery choked with veg...not so much. Good luck in Georgia!!!

You’ll like the hybrid hunter better. Check out Todd Castledine’s channel. He designed it based off an old Strike Pro(Japan) shallow plug. That bait card should have his name on it.

The HH has a lot more erratic retrieve than the the swank 77.

ill check it out!
Looks like it's a bait I'd like to try in the grass lakes in Southern WI. Since a lot of the forage here seems to be bluegill, I like to get a color that mimics one. Any suggestions?

Thanks Matt. Your really going to make fun of how it looks. I think it was you who bought a Hellrazer. I bought a couple last year and have yet to try but looking forward to it. Being different is what I like the most. Sometimes outside the box is the place to be. It took time for the chatterbait to become popular.
