    Strike King Hybrid Hunter crankbait

    Has anyone used it, down here in Florida with much success? I would think, it as well as the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap would work well, for ticking the tops of submerged weeds and etc. Just bought the SK Hybrid Hunter so was wondering if anyone uses it, quite abit. If so, what color works best? Mine is the Chartreuse/Blk Back.

    Yep I use it with good success over top of submergent grass . Surprisingly does not get hung to much and that is due to high bouancy. When you do hit grass kill it and it floats up. Clearwater Minnow is my favorite.

    Yes works good. Alot of golden shiner and Yellow perch In the lake I fish, Chartreuse Perch works good for me in that lake.

    I bought both gold and chart perch, and a few others recently, but haven't used them yet. Looking forward to trying them out.

    This is what i was hoping to hear. I will be trying it out once my boats out of the shop. Being from NH, these shallow grass lakes are a bit, baffling. Any little pointers on a PM, i won't object.

    I didn't care for it , threw it in a junk drawer. I thought it blew out too quick, couldn't really burn it as fast as I needed. And it's gawd awful noisy.

    I'm preferable to a chatterbait and trailer over the tops of grass.
    Someone shared it years ago, been producing steadily for me.

    This also works well, both can be productive over submerged grass.
