The paint design involves covering both the outside and internal body parts with paint or glitters. This technique mimics the method Peterson used for his wooden baits, where layers of paint are applied between layers of lacquer to create a 3D effect. This also helps the bait's paint to hold up after catching multiple fish. Strike Pro has even mimicked the signature 3D eyes of the famous TrueGlide baits.
In addition to the obvious visual appeal, the Guppie features several unique design characteristics that make it an exceptionally effective bait choice. The compact body design allows for maximum hook coverage, while the curved shape from back to belly helps to better expose the hook points and improve hook sets. The body profile also adds extra flash and belly roll. The tail adds another dimension - the Guppie has an innovative spring-type screw at the back, which allows for easy changing of tail types by simply screwing them on or off, thereby changing the bait's movement dynamics.
