| Well the new Suick HI plastic has been out for a while and im sure a lot of you have been using them.
What are your thoughts on them? Looking to get a couple new ones and havent decided on the ol wood ones or the new plastic yet. |

Location: Eau Claire,WI | New ones are great! More durable than the wooded ones.The HI's have more of a side to side action compared to a dive and rise of the wooden ones. They run about between a weighted and non weighted. They seem to be touchy to modify the way you want em to run but not too bad,small adjustments are the key... get a few or 10,you won't be disappointed! |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Much of this would depend on how you fish Suicks. If you like to work them with long pulls, or short fast twitches you might not like them. If you fish them as they're intended, with 1-2' pulls and letting it rise slightly then you'll love it. I used to go through a long drawn out process to get my Suicks to run exactly right, the HI Suicks are perfect straight out of the box. |

| Just an observation from our sales at the Musky Shop. People seem to like them quite well. They are not "the same" as wood Suick Thrillers but Suick fans are buying both wood and plastic and using them for different situations. For some people who seem to have had difficulty with wood models "getting it to work right", the Hi Thrillers are a reasonable answer to their dilema. |

| I use both wood and plastic - my go to lure when all else fails. The new plastic are easier to work, quicker and more more erratic and seem to fall between the unweighted and weighted wood suicks. I still use wood for slower up and down applications. |

| The new HI suicks are working great for me. I have two and have no complaints.  |
