Herring Strip is Back

Herring Strip is back and it’s hot! Baitrix Fishing Products Ltd. will be introducing a brand new series of artificial herring strips for fresh and saltwater anglers for 2010.

Trout anglers should look for the 3¼ inch Baitrix Mini Strips in Chartreuse, UV natural and UV translucent black speckle.  Both Salmon and Trout anglers will be impressed by the 4 inch Midi Strips which have been tested by Canadian and US anglers and guides on Chinook salmon this past winter with terrific results. This bait is a perfect Needlefish or small Herring imitator and is sold in UV Pearl, UV natural, Chartreuse, UV Blue Pearl, Blue and Holographic Green.

The full sized RDO (Rhys Davis Original) Baitrix Strip is 5 ½ inches long and has been proven on salt and freshwater game fish since the summer of 2009. It comes in UV natural, UV translucent black speckle, Pearl UV and Holographic Green with more color patterns in the design stage. All three models are easy to use when rigged with the correct Teaser lures.

The Mini & Midi strips should be fished with single hooks. Let the hook hang free at the tail of the strip for the best action. The full sized baits can be rigged with either trebles or singles. .

The two Canadian companies, Baitrix Fishing Products Ltd. and Rhys Davis Ltd. (who was the original producer of frozen strip bait), combined their expertise to create these new herring strip imitations.

The creative force comes from Gord McKay at Baitrix who previously developed tunable artificial anchovies and herring along with his original Super Strip sized herring strip. The new strips are all in the classic Rhys Davis pennant shape. Tom Davis of Rhys Davis Ltd. has fine tuned his company’s well known line of Large, Super and Tiny Teaser herring strip holders to improve the action of each Baitrix strip model for maximum fishing success.

He has also publicly endorsed the Baitrix products. “I rarely lend my name to fishing products that I have not been totally responsible for in terms of research and design. However I am convinced that the new Baitrix strips are the best alternative to real herring strip available today”.  For more information contact Gord McKay at www.baitrix.com.
