What’s Inside this year’s Ultimate Spring Bundle?
We handpicked each lure with spring in mind, so you’ve got every scenario covered when the fish start switching up their habits. Everything listed below is included in the Ultimate Spring Bundle:
-
Prawn USA Jr. (3.5in Shrimp Imitation, Natural Color)
This is your go-to when the bite is tough, especially during late-season fronts that shut fish down. It’s what I call the “cut bait of artificial lures”—perfect for when fish are tailing shallow and need a finesse approach.
-
2.0 Paddletail (3.5in, Slam Shady Color)
If you haven’t used Slam Shady yet, you’re missing out. It’s caught over 100 species worldwide, and it’s a must-have for anyone fishing artificial lures. Whether you’re new to artificials or a seasoned angler, this is the one lure that works anywhere, anytime.
-
3/0 Hoss Helix 1/8oz
This rigging setup is perfect for shallow water applications (1-3ft), giving you the weedless presentation you need to stay snag-free.
-
2/0 Hoss Round Eye Jighead 3/16oz
Whether you’re fishing shallow or deep, this jighead gives you the versatility to adapt to changing conditions.
Hard Lures for Different Fishing Scenarios
We’ve also included two hard lures designed to cover all fishing situations this spring:
-
Flea Flicker (Slam Shady Color) – For sluggish fish.
This lure suspends on the pause, and predatory fish hate that. If you let it sit in their strike zone long enough, they’ll crush it. Use this when fish are holding tight and not actively chasing baits.
-
Skinny Lipper (Slam Shady Color) – For aggressive fish.
When fish are fired up, you want to cover ground fast. The Skinny Lipper casts long and lets you work an area quickly, increasing your odds of running into feeding fish. It’s the perfect tool for when the bite is hot and you want to rack up numbers.

Thank you for the info. Love the prawn jr. and 2.0
Thanks for the updates
I like the prawn and paddle tail.
great inf
Thank you Pat, got them all and ready to hit the water.
Well pat I might agree to a couple of your choices mine vary slightly because where both you and Tony fish in the mosquito lagoon area where there is very clear water and tons of seagrass here in northeast florida where I live and fish as I have said consistently in numerous replies we have different conditions like murky water and very little to no seagrass considering both the st johns river and the ICW are muddy bottoms where seagrass will not grow and I have found that the slam shady color isn’t as effective here as a darker color like the gold digger or anything with either or chartruese or gold in it and while I do own all of saltstrongs lures in all the colors I have found only a handful to be consistant producers and I like my choice of shrimp lure a little better then the power prawn usa my favorite has always been and always will be the chasebaits flick prawn in natural jelly color its caught me a ton of fish and very much earned my regard as favorite but I also fish somewhat different then most of the saltstrong coaches do but like I have always found true and say what works for some doesnt always work the same for others because we are all different and see and do things the way our brain tells us to because we all think differently from one another to thanks for your opinion and all you do🤔😉👍
Definitely good video and up close and personal view of the lures and soft plastics …. Job well done Pat .. !
Thank you sir!
I don’t find myself throwing hard baits much, but I do like using them to troll. Also, I’d use them when, like you said, the fish are “fired up” — which seems very seldom for me as I need to get out on the water more. As kids we mostly used natural bait but always had hard baits (spoons and plugs mostly) at the ready for when fish were hitting everything in sight. When fish were that fired up it didn’t make sense to waste time with live bait, just as it wouldn’t make sense to spend time rigging another soft plastic.
Great point on the rerigging soft plastics! A hard bait is quicker to get back in the water and catch another one!
Great 4 lures. Definitely catch fish.🤗🎣🙏💯
Yes sir! I don’t leave home without them!
