Experience the power of precision angling with the Strike King Hack Attack Pad Perch. This topwater lure is a masterful innovation, tailored for those who venture into the most challenging environments to pursue the catch of a lifetime. Co-created with insights from renowned bass fisherman Greg Hackney, this 6-inch perch colored lure is engineered to glide seamlessly through the thickest of water vegetation – think lily pads, dense grass beds, and submerged timber.
The Pad Perch's tapered nose is a thoughtfully designed feature that empowers the bait to slip through tight spaces with ease. A subtle yet impactful innovation in the bait's anatomy is its hollow body design. This clever element snugly shields the sharp points of the elite double pronged frog hook, minimizing frustrating snags and ensuring a smooth retrieval.
Perhaps the most captivating aspect of the Pad Perch is its sizable and vibrant rubber skirt. This key component reacts dynamically in the water, mimicking life-like movements that are irresistible to predatory fish. As the angler imparts a “walk-the-dog” style action to the bait, the skirt responds with an enticing display, creating ripples and motion that can provoke explosive strikes, even in areas with limited visibility.
Built to thrive with the more aggressive angling styles, the Pad Perch comes standard with a robust dual pronged frog hook. This element of the design is crucial, ensuring that the lure can endure the fight against larger gamefish and navigate through rough cover without wear and tear. It truly shines when paired with strong braided lines, offering the resilience needed for pulling trophy fish from their vegetative hideouts.
