AN AFFORDABLE GLIDE BAIT

[Angry John]

The average bait in the glide big bait game is a hundred bucks.  The Doughnut and a pizz drift are very common

Single jointed wooden bass and musky lures date back into the early 1900's and meet todays glide bait definition.

R2Sea S-Waver isn't defined as a glide by the maker? S-Waver was the 1st domestic bass lure called a glide bait by anglers. Deps 175 was the 1st Japanese glide bait and Butch Brown never called it glide, he discribes it as a swimbait because it is.

Confusing, it's gotten to the point bass fishing terms have so many definitions it's almost impossible to communicate.

ATB makes a soft glide bait for example.

As someone who fished a lot of muskie baits that's what drew me towards these big swimbaits and glidebaits - they look so much better than the lures of old.  Also, the names have definitely become convoluted....what's a Suick Believer?  A lipless crank?  Lol

Suick is a big rip bait now called a jerk bait, my 2nd musky lure. Musky Hawk was the 1st. Jointed Pikie was make in a musky size, my 1st big jointed lure. The Suick is the closet action to what is being called a glide but it's a 1 piece wooden lure.

20-25 is pocket change in the glide bait game. 

Well, must be nice to have deep pockets...lol. I actually have 1 of the 3D Shine Glides myself but if this Lucky Craft does almost as good the penny pincher in me is going to say "I can get 2 of the LC for the price of 1 Shine Glide" .

My first muskie over 40" was caught on a Suick Thriller - the old wooden "jerkbait".

I wish I had deep pockets.

 

The penny pincher in me says "Buy once, cry once".

 

I've owned glides that run upwards of 2 bills and the Shine Glide rivals them in performance and the profile matches a big shad so good that it just really seems to attract the big bites, which is kind of the whole point of throwing one.
