Strike King introduces new Skip’ N Buzz
Lexington, S.C. – With a relentless drive to offer anglers new tools to catch more fish, Strike King Lure Company is pleased to announce the new Andy Montgomery Skip’ N Buzz. This game-changing lure is specifically built to help anglers target out-of-reach fish in places where few baits will go. The legendary Strike King buzzbait, with a new design twist, is reshaping the way anglers find and catch fish.
To engineer this innovative design, Strike King turned to arguably the most proficient skipping and pitching angler on the water, Bass Pro Tour veteran Andy Montgomery. For two of his tour-level wins in his career — on Lake Norman and Smith Lake — the Blacksburg, SC native credits his ability to skip a lure into the dark recesses underneath a dock to target tournament-winning fish.
He said it took a company like Strike King to capture his extended vision for lure offerings. “My guys at Strike King and I designed this buzzbait to go where other buzzbaits just don’t go, and you can cast and pitch them too,” Montgomery said. “Overall, it is an amazing lure to run down the bank with and fish whatever comes your way without changing lures. But, there is simply nothing better than to skip it under a low hanging tree or put it beneath a dock and hear the explosion of the strike.”
To augment the skipping design of the buzzbait, Montgomery and Strike King also replaced the traditional buzzbait skirt with a soft plastic Strike King Toad. The bait is also sold with an interchangeable Rage Swimmer.
The Andy Montgomery Skip’ N Buzz comes in four colors. Andy favors the white design when fish are targeting shad. In low light conditions, and when fish are feeding on bluegill, Andy will switch to a green pumpkinseed or black to get the job done, and pink when the fish want something different.
The Skip’ N Buzz will be available in a 3/8-ounce size with an MSRP of $8.99

Strike King goes Primal with new performance Fluorocarbon, Monofilament and Braided Lines
With so many fishing lines to choose from on the market today, Strike King has made the decision easy – just choose the best.
Introducing Strike King Primal, the innovative, performance-class fishing line that is priced for exceptional value. No longer will anglers sacrifice top quality line to find one they can afford. With Primal, anglers can expect the best of both worlds – next-generation performance and a reasonable price.
To develop the Primal Series of Fluorocarbon, Monofilament and Braid, Strike King turned to world class engineers and state-of-the-art manufacturing, as well as some of the top anglers in the sport.
MLF pro Andy Montgomery was an integral part of a team assembled by Strike King to take on the challenge to engineer a next generation line with unmatched performance-grade properties at an unbeatable price point. Montgomery, himself an engineer with a degree from Clemson, did not take the challenge lightly. “We were driven to create a line that would meet the demands of the serious angler,” Montgomery said. “But I grew up fishing on a tight budget, and it was important to me to build a line that the average angler could afford.”
The result is Primal.
Primal Braid is the solution when anglers demand strength, durability and handling. Montgomery noted that Strike King’s efforts have yielded a braid with premium fibers, engineered for both strength and sensitivity. “And possibly the best feature of the Primal Braid series is how manageable it is on the water,” said Montgomery. “This line casts so smoothly and handles great on both spinning and casting gear.”
Primal Monofilament is the answer for high-quality, value priced mono. Strike King used world class extrusion processes to deliver a line that offers incredible strength, increased sensitivity and handles like a dream. When you need mono that makes casting fun, holds up to big fish in heavy cover and is fair priced, look no further than Primal Monofilament. You can certainly spend more, but why would you?
More and more anglers are turning to fluorocarbon line for its strength and durability. In addition to withstanding abrasion, Primal Fluorocarbon is particularly resistant to deterioration from exposure to UV light which translates to longer life on the water. Ridiculous sensitivity, next-level abrasion resistance, and incredible handling characteristics are what define Primal Fluorocarbon, not price. Primal Fluorocarbon was designed to the exacting specifications and needs of Strike King pro anglers. This is high-quality, performance-minded fluorocarbon at a great price.
Additionally, as a testament to Strike King’s attention to detail, each spool of Primal comes equipped with a Sidewinder spooling tool for unbelievably fast and efficient re-spooling on the water.
Anglers who stake their livelihood on high-quality, dependable line are turning to Strike King for the all-new Primal series of Fluorocarbon, Monofilament, and Braid. The monofilament comes in 200 and 1000-yard spools ranging from 6 to 20-pound-test. The Fluorocarbon spools are available in 330 and 1000-yard spools ranging from 6 to 20-pound-test. Finally, the braid is available in 150-yard spools and 330-yard spools with the line rating from 8 to 65-pound-test in both green and Hi-Vis Yellow.
Strike King’s Primal Line will be available at finer sporting goods stores everywhere and will retail from $8.99 to $79.99 depending on type and spool size. Let your line be the workhorse, not your wallet.
Strike King introduces new Rogue and Catawba polarized sunglasses
For more than a quarter of a century the Strike King Lure Company has crafted the most dependable and stylish fishing eyewear in the industry. Strike King is back in 2021 with a new lineup, delivering new styles, and even better science.
Introducing Strike King Rogue – the next generation fishing sunglasses.
Strike King’s remarkable engineering behind the multi-layer lens is what sets Rogue apart from the competition. The super hydrophobic top coating of the Rogue lens stops condensation from absorbing into these 100% polarized optics, keeping the angler’s vision free from water obstruction, while several subsequent layers of the lens shed dirt and debris. Most critically, seven separate layers provide anti-reflective defense to fight glare from the sky above, as well as from the surface of the water below. The result is a cleaner, clearer, higher level of subsurface vision, precisely what is most important to the serious angler.
MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit angler James Niggemeyer is never far from his Strike King Rogue Sunglasses, whether fishing in overcast or sunny conditions. “One of the toughest challenges is actually the glare coming from the surface of the water,” explains the Van, Texas pro. “It gets in the way of safe boat operation, and it definitely gets in the way of fishing. The Rogue 11-layer lens cuts through that glare, giving me the edge.” Niggemeyer uses the Rogue Grey Lens when fishing in bright, sunny conditions and prefers the Amber Lens when fishing under overcast skies.
Strike King’s new Catawba sunglasses offer exceptional performance at a great value. The Catawba features specifically designed TAC (Tri-Acetate Cellulose) polarized lenses for unequalled performance. The TAC lenses are stable in all weather and humidity conditions and will never compromise in optical quality.
Tour veteran Danny Brauer is an absolute believer in the importance of wearing his Strike King Catawba sunglasses on the water. “It goes far beyond sight fishing for me,” offers Brauer. “These glasses are an absolutely essential part of identifying bottom contour and finding structure, rock and weed lines that I would otherwise not see. Once you fish with them, you won’t take them off.”
