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 a broader audience for the very first time. The color scheme combines paint or glitter on the inside of the lure's transparent body—a unique process—with traditional coloring on the outside. This mimics 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 features several unique characteristics that make it a must-have for big fish. The Guppie’s compact and convex body shape ensures excellent hooking ability, with hook points always exposed regardless of angle. The body profile and shape also give the lure a strong belly flash and roll. The innovative screw at the back of the lure allows for easy tail swapping, adding an extra layer of versatility. Change the lure’s action by experimenting with different tail types.
The Guppie Jr has a sinking rate of approximately 15 cm/s. The body measures 11 cm, and with the tail included, the total length is around 17.5 cm. The Guppie Jr comes with a traditional tail and a paddle tail. Using the traditional tail, you can fish the Guppie as a jerkbait with a side-to-side motion. With the paddle tail, you can reel it in for a subtle, rolling action.
