Avoid Getting Stuck in the Weeds:
Lure Exposes Hooks Only When a Fish Strikes
Slickfish™ Lures are the only lures with RETRACTABLE TWIN
HOOK technology.
(DALLAS, TEXAS-April 19, 2007)-Adventure
Technology introduces the first and only lure with retractable hooks,
which solves the problem of catching weeds and debris when casting
in mossy, wooded, or heavily covered areas. The Slickfish lure--designed
for serious fishermen and professional anglers--is a colorful plastic
lure fitted with a trigger mechanism that pops the hooks out when a
fish strikes.
Designed to mirror the movement of a wounded shad,
Slickfish lures fall slower than traditional lures and stay
in the strike zone longer, attracting more bass. Because of the
retractable hooks, Slickfish lures are versatile, and glide effortlessly
through any body of water--including shores, docks, or open water--giving
serious fishermen a sustainable, competitive edge. Slickfish can also
be used as a conventional lure in open water by releasing the hooks
before casting. Each Slickfish lure is made by hand, instead of a machine,
and is easy to set on a braided line.
"A fisherman's got about 40 lures in his tacklebox, and
he knows the top two that work," says Jimmy Everett, a top guide
on Lake Fork in Texas. "A new lure has to show its worth right
away to make it as a top pick for serious fisherman. Slickfish does
just that, and it's always in my top two."
"We figured, since fishing's
been around since Adam, how can we possibly find a new way to fish?
Then we thought of the Slickfish lure." said Wes
Cox, founder and president, Adventure Technologies
