I had a prototype for a few weeks now, and am impressed. The new 9" Thriller HI does exactly what the attached release says it will do, and is very easy to tune to make it dance to your own music.

Can't wait to see it in action.
I'd like to see H.I.P. versions of the 7" and 12" Thrillers, & Weagles n Wabulls too! |

| As much as I curse a few of my Suicks, I will not be grabbing for these anytime soon. I'm sort of a crotchety old coot who likes well-chewed wood. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | It is easier to fine tune, and I can make it walk the dog wider than any Suick I've owned to date. It may work just a tad deeper than a wood unweighted 9". I'll shoot a video of this one in action soon.

Location: Oak Island, MN | I've had the opportunity to use one of these for a while this summer, and I have to say it's the real deal. Works perfectly out of the box, with no tuning necessary. No more searching for one with the eye placement where you like it. Very consistent.
What really impressed me is that it can be fished very effectively by a inexperienced person almost immediately. Very forgiving. Bend the tail down and really digs, with an increased side to side motion.
Don't throw the woodies away, but this is a "must have" in your arsenal. |

Location: New Hope MN | Are they heading away from the wood baits then? I sure hope not.... 
oh wait... i guess i should read the entire article.
"Suick Lure Company will continue to produce original wood Thrillers, but has introduced the Thriller HI for anglers who prefer all plastic baits." |

| I had a chance to throw one this August when fishing with Norm, they are awesome! Seem to go slightly deeper and have a little more hang time than an un-weighted wood ones. |

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | oh crap... looks like the wife is gunna kill me.. gunna have to pick up one or two or ten
I see people are saying that it has a slightly longer hang time then the un-weighted wood Suicks. But does anyone know if they will be coming out with a Weighted Plastic version as well?? Or will it just be the one? I'm just curious to know how many times I will need to apologize to my wife. |

Location: Price County WI | I was one of the lucky fishermen to have one in my boat most of the summer...... I need more!!!! Like stated above, runs a little deeper, great hang time, and even my clients that never worked a Suick before could get it to walk after very little time with the bait. If your one of the people that have trouble working a Suick this may be the bait for you to try. |

| I have yet to catch a fish on a Suick, yet hold them in high esteem. Strange I know but I think catching a fish on a suick puts you in a legendary class. It's almost a right of passage.
I'll keep chuckin' and windin' until I get one - wood or plastic. I would prefer wood for the nostalgic appeal.
Side question - can I use a 9' rod to work a suick?

Location: oswego, il | Pretty cool to take a lure that has been around as long as it has and make it yet again different? Would love to see suick come out with the small squirley tail wabull that mojo did very limited productioms of. |
