PRESS RELEASE - APRIL 13Th 2024 - CAPTAIN JIM LURES RELEASES ITS NEW "BONE SHAD" GLIDE BAIT STRIPER LURE!
Click the link to see a video of this great lure in the water and close up!
Captain Jim’s “Striper Magic” Bone Shad glide bait really hit the “monster” Stripers! You need this super realistic and vibrant lure! The Bone Shad glide bait lure imitates a large adult Shad (7 inches) in a natural white color. They work great in stained or clear and the big Stripers inhale it! It is a very reasonably priced glide bait, making it a very cost effective “top notch” lure! It is also “killer” on huge Large and Small Mouth Bass and we throw this lure for Muskie as well!
Captain Jim Special “Striper Magic” hand crafted Striper “glide” lures are the finest – best working BIG FISH Striper lures on the market! We have field tested these lures on the Cumberland River catching 40 pound plus giant Stripers!
You will not find a higher quality more realistic looking glide bait anywhere, regardless of cost! Each lure is meticulously hand painted, with 5 coats of paint then finished with multiple coats of tough acrylic clear coat giving them a great “3D” look. Beautiful yet strong and durable, this lure will glide left and right 1 to 2 feet with a slow twitch of the rod making it irresistible to giant predators. The big Stripers love them! It will excel in almost any water condition and catch giant fish when other lures will not. Outfitted with super strong Mustad 5 X dura steel hooks and split rings rated at 150 pounds this lure is only for the serious Striper fisherman!
Captain Jim Special “Striper Magic” hand crafted Striper Bone Shad “glide” lure $54.99. Minimum order of 2 lures per order! Remember, it costs the same to ship 2 lures per order as it does 6 or 8 lures per order, so it is more economical to buy what you want for the season in bulk!
Other similar glide bait lures are out there asking well over $100.00 for this s

Captain Jim Planer Boards
“CAPTAIN JIM” PLANER BOARDS!!
Watch the video of our customer Mike Davis bringing in a nice Striper, using a Captain Jim planer board!!
CLICK HERE TO ORDER: https://striperfun.com/product/captain-jim-planer-boards/
$60.00 per set – one left / one right (ONLY $30.00 PER BOARD) Plus $9.00 shipping and handling
DESCRIPTION
The new Captain Jim planer boards are each hand made and are very lightweight (made out of high strength white Lexan!). Although they are lightweight, they are extremely durable and super tough! These boards have been field tested catching 40-to-50-pound Stripers with the bait at close range (only three feet behind the board) with big fish smashing the bait at high speed and really “hard yanking” the planer board! Yet the “tough” Captain Jim planer boards weather this rough treatment easily!
Captain Jim planer boards are also simply the very best “slow speed” and accurate – straight running planer boards you will ever use! Even when trolling live bait as slow as .3 MPH, the new Captain Jim planer boards will “shoot out” away from your boat. They are also very quiet in operation which can make the difference on days when the fish are near the surface or nervous. When compared to traditional “heavier” hard plastic planer boards that require almost 1 mph to deploy away from your boat, you will love this high-quality – fast deploying planer board!
Each board is “custom handmade” with high density closed cell foam that is applied with extra strength Gorilla Glue adhesive and is wedged into the middle of the foam (versus just being glued on one side). They include Scotty releases and quick disconnect line snaps.
Captain Jim commented on the new Planer Boards:
“You will not find a better made planer board for the price! Don’t pay more for a lesser quality product! USE WHAT THE PROS USE!”

Umbrella rig fishing
For decades as the owner, I have spent March on Lake Cumberland “trolling” Captain Jim umbrella rigs for Stripers! For customers that want to learn about this exciting way to “fool” Stripers on artificial lures (AND NOT HAVE TO GET UP AND CATCH BAIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!) the trolling for stripers is the ticket. During my trolling trips not only will you catch nice Stripers, these trips are also very instructional in nature as well!
Watch the attached video!!
Trolling Umbrella rigs is one of the hottest ways to present a “schooling” effect of lures to the big Stripers. I run four (4) rigs at a time, trolling them at 2.2 MPH 130 feet back- running about 25 feet deep. It is “Kabam and Kapow”, with umbrella rigs getting “ripping down” so hard the rod tips are in the water in 1/10th of a second!
