One of the first things you’ll notice about the Guppie is the intricate detail in its color patterns. Until now, these colors have only been available on the hand-painted wooden lures crafted by Joe Peterson.
Now, Strike Pro and CWC, in collaboration with Peterson, are bringing these unique color designs to the wider public for the first time. The color scheme features a combination of paint or glitter inside the lure’s transparent body—a unique process—paired with traditional coloring on the outside. This replicates Peterson’s technique of layering colors between topcoat layers to create a 3D effect. Strike Pro has also recreated the distinctive 3D eyes that TrueGlide lures are known for.
In addition to Guppie’s stunning finish, it boasts several unique features that make it a true trophy fish lure. Its compact and convex body shape ensures excellent hooking ability, with the hook points always exposed regardless of angle. The body profile and shape also give the lure a pronounced belly flash and roll. The innovative screw at the back of the lure allows you to easily swap tails, adding another dimension to its versatility. Change the lure's character by experimenting with different tail types.
The Guppie has a sinking rate of approximately 30 cm/s. The body measures 13.5 cm, and including the tail, the total length is around 22 cm. The Guppie comes with a traditional tail as well as a paddle tail. Using the traditional tail, you can fish the Guppie as a jerkbait with a side-to-side motion, while the paddle tail allows for a smooth, rolling action when reeled in.
