99% of Anglers Fish a Glide Bait WRONG!! #1 Retrieve for EVERY Type of Glide Bait

I’ve spent a substantial amount of time with a glide bait in my hands the last handful of years. Through thousands of casts, thousands of bass, thousands of mistakes and thousands of wasted dollars…I’ve learned everything I’m sharing regarding the best retrieves, applications and modifications for each different type of glide bait. Please feel free to COMMENT any questions below. Remember, none of what I’m sharing are “truths” or “absolutes” that are applicable to every situation on every body of water…they are simply MY truths, for you to apply to your fisheries, and develop your own ideologies.

SORRY GUYS!! All links should be working now. Looks like lots of questions about how to do the joint mod...would you guys like to see a step by step process of the joint mod with the rotary tool? I blasted some bigs on the modified flow glider today 👍🏻

[@maxkaufmann8338]

where can we find a moby? we have a KILLER glide bait lake trout bite here in colorado in the spring and fall and need to find something big big like that! have been using musky gliders but i want to try the jointed gliders.

[@TheSwimbaitGrind]

Yes! Step by step!

[@mattfields2033]

Yes! But the links still aren’t working. Maybe it’s because I’m in KY and we just got internet here.

[@curtisfawver8655]

Yes, show the mod video

[@justinlane6312]

step-by-step please and thank you!

[@bradleyking4197]

I’ve learned just by watching ur channel. Hasn’t quite translated to success yet, but I just found a quarter under my seat! So got that goin for me!

[@EclipseGamingVideosHD]

Which is nice

[@jaredgarrison3165]

Ben I think this goes without saying, but you are the best teacher/ KZbin fisherman there is. I have truly learned how to bass fish from you and your channel. When I got to my mid 20's and some particularly bad habits I needed a positive hobby to occupy my time with. I turned to fishing and from there I started getting into bass fishing. And for 3 or 4 years I struggled. And then I started watching you tube and found your channel. You taught me how to tie fishing knots from drop shot to flipping to Carolina rigs. And Years later. You just laid down the most info/ best teaching seminar on "glide baits" that there is! You just taught me how to properly use the baits I already have and what I have been doing wrong. And I honestly want to tell you how much I appreciate and I'm sure everyone else who watches you appreciates , and enjoys all of your content and personally how much I have grown as a bass angler and that is largely because of the things you have taught me. Thank you!

[@Jon-nz3dm]

Recovering addict here, thanks to kayaking/fishing. I just kept using even after multiple rehabs. Eventually decided I wanted to try things that kept me busy and happy as a child. Bass fishing was that thing. So instead of just getting myself more and more addicted I started fishing whenever I had some free time. So you are not alone. I know many others that have been down these paths and fishing has helped them improve their lives. Idk what your bad habits were but I hope all is well on your journey.

[@kasontate4206]

Not an addict here, but can relate to the principal you guys both speak of. I’ve got some pretty bad anger problems and last year i dove deep into bass fishing, not even from a boat yet, just from the bank, but i do it almost everyday for at least a couple hours and it truly brings me peace of mind. It really takes the edge off and helps keep me away from that tipping point. So thanks for sharing y’all’s similar but very different experiences and showing me that it applies to and helps many people in different ways. Definitely going to teach my kids young so they have a healthy outlet and maybe can avoid some of the problems that we all have struggled with whether that be anger, aggression, drugs, alcoholism, etc. Keep on fishing guys, tight lines

[@zekethefishgeek8690]

Jared... I'm very proud to be congratulating you on your turn in life that you're faithfully following... Just remember it's just as easy to not catch fish on small baits as it is... to not catch fish on big baits... but, be truly assured when you do finally catch a fish it's gonna be a big mama

[@rsktransport]

That was a really nice comment, I hope MF got to read your comment.

[@randyoney8793]

He's so positive while insulting his peers who came b4 him

[@melissakhalar1842]

Informative video easy to understand. I've been fishing for around 55 years and I've learned so much more about catching fish since I have been watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your expertise Sir.

[@jimbeam9230]

I was struggling trying to catch fish on glides before I started watching your videos. Just the small things you do has really turned that around for me! Love your content and you’re always being yourself and not just trying to get views!

[@southwestfishguy]

Man, this video is Golden! Thank you for posting this information. I lost one expensive glide and did get discouraged. I’ll definitely give them another go now.

[@XschultzieX]

Work and life have kept me off the water, but I'm slowly building a swimbait arsenal to take out. This is invaluable information. Thanks, Ben.

[@dirtyfan76]

Man you and Mikey Ballz are 2 of the most informative channels out there. Love both your channels. This one was awesome. Good job

[@josephmazzaferro7781]

I think this is my favorite video yet!! You really are a great teacher man, I appreciate you I can’t wait to modify my flow gliders

[@tstreet7249]

How can you be in to glide baits and just now obtain this knowledge ?

[@davidrussell9290]

Ben, congratulations on your 3rd place. I've always wanted to see guys like you compete and you did not disappoint. Respect, Brother.

[@davegwiazdon8450]

Wow! I'm glad I stumbled onto this video. I can't tell you how many times I'll walk by a display of these glide baits, wanting to try them out....but they're expensive. And I never really knew where, when or how to fish them....and I already have hundreds of other baits/methods to fish...but I keep eyeballing them anyway, cuz I know it's one way to get after some big'n's. This video was a huge help! Thanks! Looking forward to checking out some of your other videos.

[@caseywebb5178]

It's been a while you've done a lesson. Thanks again for teaching me something new and useful! You really are an incredible angler!

[@ryanmozisek6464]

Man, you are the reason I got into throwing jointed swimbaits and glide baits. My first glide bait I got was a custom painted Arashi from a friend. Caught two 5 pounders back to back on it! Thank you!!

[@rollin37]

Thanks for a sip of the juice bro, just bought my first glide bait about 2 weeks ago and rather than search the tube for everyone's 2 cents this vid comes up. Mad props bro and im going to use this to slay my local spots.

[@petergibson1087]

Thanks for another great video! Appreciate the demonstrations and love seeing the mods! Keep up the catching those slaunches!

[@sheltonfishing3656]

You are the go to guy on the internet for glide baits or hell any other crazy slaunch slaying techniques you may have. Keep up the great work . Thanks for letting go of some of them tricks

[@amadorcorona4484]

Thanks!! I’ve been trying to figure this out and you broke it down so it’s easy to understand. Now I need a pool to practice in and be able to see the action better

[@marsn9897]

Just got a swimbait rod and I’ve been running through your vids. This video is so clutch !!! Ty. Now I gotta get some glide baits

[@doublec1758]

Thanks a lot for that one brother, that was some super valuable information that I’m sure hurt you a little bit to come off of. I’ve been struggling to gain confidence in the cheaper glidebaits that I can actually afford. This is a game changer for me. Thanks again, and hell yeah.👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@the_reel_cam2919]

He just dropped so many secrets lol

[@jeremybinz9888]

Thank you for the break down of these. Just getting into the swim bait game and have learned a lot from your videos

[@djnaamanmccullah]

I’ve got to admit you’re one of the more knowledgeable fisherman that is so good at what you do I appreciate the tips and secrets I’m gonna add that my fishing skills thank you very much you’re a great man

[@willmm4745]

Super cool you are showing people, as a person who has never used a glide bait this has got me interested.

[@josephvanchierijr.2486]

I have never used a glide style bait. You perked some interest. Thank you Ben.

[@eddiestephens868]

Man this is so awesome you are amazing and thank you brother for sharing. You have become my favorite person to watch and to learn from on KZbin. Keep the videos coming and stay safe on the water.

[@Balthizaar]

Master class. Always appreciate your videos and thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge with your subscribers.

[@donpanico7708]

Hey Ben, just found this video. Extremely informative, there is alot to learn about this application, and you did a super job. Can’t wait for spring to start throwing some of these baits. Thanks

[@BasslivesmatterLLC]

Best explanation of the big swimbaits to date. You always keep it 💯 👌🏿

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Thanks for this bro! One of the more challenging things for us newer glide bait fishermen is videos on how to fish them. For instance, I just got the KGB Crappie(been trying for a long time to get one) but I don’t know the cadence of how to fish it and there’s almost nothing out there to watch to learn. I go to the pool now but gonna follow you bc I like watching guys show us and how they reel it helps me learn. Thanks jj

[@BradWyatt]

This is an amazing video breaking down the difference between them. I am new to the glide baits and looked at some not knowing why they swam so different and why I couldn't gain any confidence in throwing them. some great Intel boss. knowing is half the battle!

[@impendingdoom385]

G.I. Jooooooooooooooe!

[@nicholashubert4834]

I love the pool action videos! Thank you for sharing. I'm a bank beater I have been thinking about getting in to glide baits due to super pressured ponds I hit in Colorado.

[@sarahmae1650]

Looks like I’ll be trying a glide bait now…. Your last video similar to this caught me my pb with a drop shot. Still pretty new to artificial baits and I love trying new things to catch bigs- your channel has helped me immensely!! Keep up the amazing content!

[@tstreet7249]

Save your money and buy one worth a shit like a bucca shad glide...its worth it

[@knightmarefishing]

Thank you and love alllllllll the info! Very helpful. Also, love the lure and painting vids as well! 🤘

[@bassketchum]

Big baits were the reason I started watching this channel, good to see it coming back ... It's definitely a learning curve throwing big glides. You did spill some juice but there is a lot of tips and tricks still to share but that ain't my job 🤣 good shit

[@haydenfinnigan7201]

This is an absolutely great explanation and you are a legend! Keep up the content!

[@Yakkinoutdoors]

Omg thank you so much for this video. I respect your knowledge of swim baits second to none.

[@chriscrampton2482]

Really great information. Your efforts and knowledge sharing are appreciated.

[@antongoatlord6860]

I’m fortunate to have been involved with Gan-Craft for 15 yrs. I’ve stood next to Butch Brown, Bill Semitel, Mike Long n Frog Man Bobby Barrack for hands n eyes on tutorial catchin fish. Thanx 4 the break down

[@ericschmidt2085]

Super high quality video, big ups. I dig the informational videos man keep em up.

[@mikethetaffer]

Great vid. Would love to see the step by step grinding as others mentioned. I found your channel after hearing about it on the Tackle Talk podcast. Congrats on the Swimmy award!

[@brandontimper4240]

This is a great video, we cant all afford the top $$$ Glides but we all want to be able to maximize our cheaper glides. Thanks for the "juice" on this! Thank you for always putting out the great tips/tricks and overall fishing knowledge.

[@DatGuy960]

This, right here, is why I'm a subscriber! Thanks, I WILL be adding this to my arsenal here in the Panhandle

[@2Gunzfishin]

Great content. Informational and easy to watch, love to watch these vids.

[@Mags120fish1]

Wow. Great info! I’m a beginner swim bait fisherman, so this was gold!

[@troyrichardson4049]

I'm so glad I watched this! Thank you for sharing this info! Very educational!

[@timg185]

I already knew that trick . But I didn’t realize how much you have to grind off. Awesome video!

[@bobrole9677]

Ben...wow..FANTASTIC CONTENT. I learned so much. Thank you for sharing. Gonna try on Lake Okeechobee real soon. Thanks again!

[@bigdawg580]

Awesome tips! Can’t wait to try some of these baits and techniques

[@laszlobacs9347]

Awesome presentation with attention to details and great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Canada.

[@josecruz021]

Thank you so much i really appreciate this. I've been curious about glide baits and this taught me a lot

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

I really like the Flow Glider. Got several of them. I will definitely try that modification out.

[@nathanbruns7053]

Man I expected more pool videos like this when you did the walkthrough. Loved it man.

[@Keviebear86]

Might have to give the flow glider a shot now. I never cared much for glide baits but this may have changed my mind. Thanks Ben!

[@SROTV..southernrebeloutdoors]

Thank you ben finally information i can really use watching you use swim bait s turned me to them about 3 or so years ago watching you taught me how to actually work them iv not tried glides but thats my next step in to the swim bait world i just got some 6th sense sweeps to try

[@dsmtnr95]

I’m glad you are putting these tips out, took me too long figuring a lot of this out on my own and on forums. Wish these existed 5 years ago haha

[@bryongliege8090]

Did they try and scam you too? It says you have 1 reply, but I don't see reply. Same on my comment. Looks like an email from KZbin.

[@bassamaticfpv4354]

Thanks for sharing your tips that took you years to learn, this is great stuff

[@christopherpettersen2359]

Great information and breakdown. Thank you for sharing. Appreciate it.

[@Drawingdead21]

Thanks Ben Mill, giving up the juice! Best glide bait video on the tube! 👊

[@greenpighunter6930]

Excellent. Coverting my Flow Gliders to Flow Chopper today.

[@garyb1635]

Straight up 6th sense glide baits about to sell out….this is freaking priceless and the most helpful and money saving glide bait video ever!! Thanks bro. Going to go try and grab as many as I can right now and ask for some for my birthday which is in a week hahaha

[@greenmachine3696]

This is one of the best KZbin videos I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing 🤙

[@blaketakmajian2345]

Thanks Ben! I have been wondering what I needed to do with my flow gliders to give them more action!

[@stevencaldwell809]

Fantastic break down of the cold hard facts. Thanks for sharing.

[@rickwardenaar2639]

Great video. Excellent explaining of different style of glide baits. Looking forward to test this out here in The Netherlands..

[@PeePawFancyPants]

[@riftongore2842]

That was awesome information. Love all the videos.

[@bmannichols4157]

Great information thanks very much, I bought a 6th Sense with 2 joints in it. it is 6" long and was $36 it has great action

[@nateriley4067]

This video just got yourself a new subscriber. Awesome stuff!

[@FlippingUTheBird]

Flo glide tips and mod defiantly paid off got my first glide fish thank you Ben

[@MattBoydFishing]

Thanks for showing such fantastic tips! I’m hoping to finally catch a fish on a glide bait.

[@BobbyDidi]

Caught my first glide bait fish on the flow rider the other day. That's before the modifications too....not a giant but solid catch. Thanks Ben.

[@chefcraigorrell9057]

This is by far the best tutorial video on glide bait fishing period. 👏👏👏

[@MillikenFishing]

Appreciate that!

[@CD2Fishing]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Been wanting to get into throwing some here in FL.

[@troymoravec6552]

GREAT video and concept, I would loved to see how (or if) you move your rod tip side to side, or just a straight retrieve. Either way, your video's are well done, and far better than others. Thank you!

[@fishitmiddletennessee]

Thanks for the video. Like most people I’m a little intimidated by most of these so this helps a lot. Think I’ll just spend a whole day learning on the water.

[@chrisgruver4078]

Gonna definitely try the idea u shared for bass fishing this year.

[@Rapapapapapa1]

Great video, thanks for your time an tips bud looking forward to my next time out. Fish On!

[@danadane9786]

I was looking for you ... I'm subscribed because your tips on here you educated me...

[@randomheroat420]

This video was the best. Love this content!

[@MrEricdgreat]

Thank you Ben I just did that modification but used a hacksaw with a PVC blade it was smooth as butter. Thank you will be out in the water soon.

[@robertharrington6376]

Second best vid you guys have ever made. Great pointers.

[@stripervince1]

Excellent info in this video.......I fish mostly for trophy river stripers here in East Tennessee and throw these huge glide baits in the darkness. I like the castaic and river to sea baits. Also the huddleston are good too. I only throw two patterns shad and rainbow trout. Over the years I've caught plenty of 40lbers and a few in the 50 lb class (salt water stripers from montauk and cape cod) I'm using serious $$$$ tackle, thousand dollar saltigas and stellas 100 lb braid and custom lamiglass and st croix and loomis glass rods. No boat, no kayak, just shorebound me, putting in my time, alone at rivers and lakes at 3am, thousands of casts, earning my stripes the hard way. I Love it

[@sbfguy7793]

Can't believe you'd share this with us. Such a freaking legend.

[@tstreet7249]

Dude theres been a thousand videos out on tuning glide baits for over a year at least

[@kyletate80]

Love this video. Great instruction and demonstration in your pool. I’m special and need visual aids lol. Also, In your videos I’m always looking at your retrieve, cadence etc. because I’m sure I do it wrong 80% of the time. Thanks!

[@johnhollis7132]

Thanks Man!! Just a killer presentation!!

[@mluc1111]

Thank you for sharing, you are the Master of Glide Baitcaster

[@kurtpotter6994]

That's the juice right there! I haven't seen any other glidebait video this good.

[@BassinFun]

This video was fantastic!! Up here in Maine we don’t throw a lot of big baits but early this summer (June) I tossed in Arashi glide near a massive sunken tree and I gave it a few twitches… Boom! A 5+ pounder freight train T-bone’d it and wasn’t coming off. Anyway, I was hooked too. Tonight I just ordered 2x Draw and 1x Flo Glide. I already have a Trace and I’ve tried chopping it with varied results. Armed with my new baits and your hot mods/tips, I’m ready to go chuckin. Thanks.

[@trashpandaexpress6136]

Yeah that last name Id bet your from the up in the county(Im from coastal Maine originally), untill I moved south I thought those big baits were silly, but man they work great when used correctly. Congrats on that 5 poundah bud

[@johnkent9019]

Wow! What a great education. Thank you.

[@PaintballShyguy]

Thanks for the Flow Glide tip! I have some sanding to do..

[@tackleboxbreakdown5116]

Thanks brother 🙌🏻🙌🏻 awesome information here

Thanks Ben gonna be trying out the modification as soon as I get back from academy lol keep up the great work Sir 🤘🤘✌️🖖

[@renegade2171]

You know good as i do no matter what u share its all in the skill and confidence you carry going into using any bait

[@danagentry9423]

Great stuff as always wealth of knowledge in on video.

[@kanerivas7088]

Thanks for the advice very much apriciated ❤

[@Nick-hm6tl]

Sick video man. Ive been practicing glide baits. Dont know anyone who fishes em often, so im " self taught" but your retrieve is spot on what i invision my baits doing lol.Mainly a salt guy. I fish corvina on top waters, and occasionally a halibut. Im definitely going to try and apply your techniques for shallow water halibut.

[@troyharper7546]

Great information and content Mfer and ColeSlaw 💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸 keep on bringin that Good stuff 👍💯

[@jjfig86]

I like the red solo cup that's in the water. What an amazing prop!

[@robertandrews5656]

Really love your how to videos, I will never be as good as you or compete with you but I can have a lot more fun trying.

[@markkegg1675]

I tried grinding one like you showed. I plan to try it on Saturday. I hope to have some good pictures. Thanks

[@jag_ad24]

Thanks for the info! This is awesome!
