Tom What exactly is the difference between a glide bait and a hard swimbait? Thanks for the rec on the Triple Fish....googling right now. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 25, 2022 Super User Posted October 25, 2022 Glides are single jointed lures design to be pulled and let “glide” underwater then pulled again to change direction and “glide” the opposite direction. Swimbait are swimmers the run through the water like a real fish using it tail to go forward with head side to side motion. The hard wooden triple or multiple jointed swimbaits can be worked to make gliding motion, 180 degree turn around and suspend, pulse be retrieved fast or extremely slow. Black Dog made a few excellent crafted and painted multiple jointed wooden swimbaits, now only available eBay etc. 22nd Century bone color is fairly new and works good imo. Tom 2 Quote

Tom Excellent explanation, thanks. The multiple jointed swimbaits as you describe are the ones I'd like to "master" first. 1 Quote
Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted October 25, 2022 Author Super User Posted October 25, 2022 Starting to see that just getting these big baits is half the fun. They are almost to beautiful, and cool to fish with lol. Check out this 6th Sense Trace.....comes with an extra tail. Very sticky hooks, good orings. Seems quality for $35 1 Quote
