TorqueConverter Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I'm looking to reverse rig some soft plastic baits and pitch them to cover, such as docks, and have them glide back into the unaccessible regions of the cover. What baits work well for this? I love the way a unweighted tube glides but I can't reverse rig a tube because it's hollow and open at the rear. I know Jackal has some soft plastic made for this presentation but I'd like to hear what you guys are using. Anyone have any theories as to what properties of a bait made for a good gliding action?

War Eagle 44 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Havoc has a new stick type bait that does what you're looking for. I think it's called the Back Slide. Quote
Mike2841 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Fat ika, kinami palm tree and damiki hydra. They're pretty much filled in tubes 2 Quote

Brayberry Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I like a basic french fry for this technique Quote
CJV Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Fat ika, kinami palm tree and damiki hydra. They're pretty much filled in tubes These are the best baits to utilize this technique with! Also keitech has a solid tube as well that works great for this application. X2 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 25, 2014 Super User Posted April 25, 2014 Fat Ika for sure! Quote
Super User Catt Posted April 25, 2014 Super User Posted April 25, 2014 Senko Texas rigged weightless, that technique sold me on Senkos. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 fat ika. I tried to like the dockapede but it is not for me- may be worth taking a look at though. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted April 25, 2014 Super User Posted April 25, 2014 Berkley has the backslide that is designed for this, also a nail weight in the back of a Yum Dinger or other Senko style bait will do the trick. Quote
BuckMaxx Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Wacky rigged senko with a drywall nail stuck in it is awesome for this. Itll stand straight up and shake it right in their face Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 25, 2014 Super User Posted April 25, 2014 Fat Ika for sure! Well, what else is there to say? http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/lake-guntersville-2012.html Quote
TorqueConverter Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for the input everyone. I've got some plastics, nail weights and tone of docks to fish. Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Make sure to rig the fat ika BACKWARDS to get the correct fall. Berkeley havoc backslide and a senko with a nail weight in the end, as stated. Skip a wacky senko under those docks! Quote
