Strategic Angler Bullit 100
The Bullit series is a simplified and scaled down version of the popular ten inch Cruiser series. The Bullit 80 is 4" long and weighs .7oz (20g). Its dense cylindrical body profile enables it to be used as a pause and twitch bait. The Bullit series can also be used as a fast retrieve lure which offers a tight hurried swimming action. A perfect representation for smaller forage fish such as silversides, small scads and anchovies, this lure offers a slower sink ratio compared to metal jigs. This ability to stay in the feeding zone is perfect when targeting fast moving smaller tuna (bonito, albacore, skipjack), Spanish mackerel, Striped Bass and trevally.

About Strategic Angler-
Merv Rubiano is the man behind the creation of what we all know and love, Strategic Angler. Beginning with making bucktails on the weekends, Merv has always had a fascination with how to translate the movements of baitfish into a wooden or plastic lure. After a failed bluefin tuna mission on Cape Cod, Merv was left riddled with questions. Were the hooks too big? Was the lure too light? What could he have done differently? It was then that he began his journey towards making his renowned Strategic Angler lures. Merv described the process as frustrating and tedious. Imitating life is a challenge easier said than done. Finally, almost a year and a half after initially setting out on his lure making journey did Merv have a breakthrough. With the help of fellow fishermen and friends, Merv was able to receive valuable feedback. Then one day the prototypes began catching fish! This was the ultimate feedback for Merv and fueled his drive to create even more colors and actions for Strategic Angler. Merv views lure making as an art and welcomes anglers to send him requests for new patterns. If given a decent picture of the baitfish, he can probably paint it. What was once a weekend pastime became a full-time career and obsession. Now, Strategic Anglers are a must for serious anglers looking to flawlessly replicate baitfish.
