Hyper Tails

Back in the late 80's when we were about to introduce the Hyper Striper jigs we felt they had to have a good soft plastic trailer to enhance their effectiveness. Al Polston at Precision Lures suggested we check with Steve Sims from Sim's Bait who had a trailer that was originally used for barracuda.

We weren't impressed when they arrived but Steve told us more than once to 'just put them in the water.' We finally did and the first time we saw that hyper action we were sold. There is no doubt that the Hyper Tails made the Hyper Striper Jigs the best selling striper jigs they are today.

The 4" Hyper Tails are packaged 12 to a bag and the 6" Hyper Tails are packaged 10 to a bag.

The folding Hyper Umbrella trolling rig proved to be the ultimate set up for catching stripers. Stripers love to smash into a school of shad and then feed on cripples or stragglers. A rigged Hyper Umbrella imitates a school of shad with a straggler ready to be picked off by a hungry striper. Three arms tested better than four and were cheaper to rig. The stainless steel arms are designed to flex and flare to simulate a school of frightened bait fish. Use our Hyper Pins to attach Hyper Tail teasers.

The Hyper Umbrella comes in two sizes. The light 2 oz. model works great with down riggers as the rig can be set well back from the release and drop only a foot or two. The heavy 6 oz. model is ideal for deep, flatline trolling without down riggers.
Big stripers go after the stragler.
Fishermen catch a lot more stripers as well as bigger stripers with the Hyper Umbrella than by trolling a single jig. Dealers and fishermen both like the way the Hyper Umbrella folds up and takes up very little space.
