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

[@MillikenFishing]

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!

[@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

[@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

[@bradclayton2912]

Landed my first fish on a glide style bait today, this video helped me so much to understand the different baits and how and where to use them. It was awesome to watch the fish come up and eat such a big bait. Time stood still as she came out of the abyss showed me her whole side, mouth wide open and smoked the Glide.

[@davidrussell9290]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 ?

[@RealMitchRappisBack]

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

[@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]

[@WildhunterGalway]

hi whats is the name of the big lure 2:01sek , thanks

[@Lawnsplantspests]

I’ve been a follower since the beginning. Thanks for sharing a video on how to catch fish. We need more videos like this. I’m now trying to convince the wife I need a casting pool.

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

[@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

[@GFWoodchuck]

I saved this video. And I showed my step son. I'll be showing my son tomorrow. This is a top flight video.

[@davidcloyd1296]

I like that you observed schooling fish behavior on live scope and how they reacted to the changes you made in retrieves. This is the “juice” for me, thanks!

[@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

[@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

[@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!!

[@dantwaites7097]

I came back a yr just to watch this, bought the $700 rod n reel combo to throw the stuff. Just need to see how to fish them now lol

[@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

[@richardbossman9875]

I wouldn’t be proud to have been next to mike long...

[@antongoatlord6860]

@@richardbossman9875 Mikes a good dude with loads of knowledge. He taught me to sweep set instead of lift over your shoulders to set a swim bait bite. Changed the game for landing fish

[@timg185]

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

[@willmm4745]

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

[@chefcraigorrell9057]

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

[@MillikenFishing]

Appreciate that!

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@markkegg1675]

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

[@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

[@Bmannichols1970]

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

[@parmesanbeagle9827]

What’s your thoughts on the Shimano Armaboost? I’d love to see you review it, pass along your glide bait wisdom..!

[@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.

[@glxbe]

pretty cool, i had never thrown a glide at all and just got a 6th Sense Trace. Had no idea what it was supposed to be doing in the water so this helps while I try to figure out the retrieve

[@glxbe]

nevermind I guess the Trace is fished much differently lmao

[@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

[@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.

[@BobbyDidi]

I like to know if you prefer tying straight to the bait or use a speed clip and if so what kind and size? I use a clip a lot just curious what your preference is. Thanks

[@BasslivesmatterLLC]

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

[@zachhales1625]

Great info! What are the “chopper style” baits in this vid?

[@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

[@Daddywarbucks556]

MAN! This is pure genius brother. Thank you for sharing this, I have a bunch of these in my cart and I am going to buy a ton of each of these and modify vs avoiding paying $250 for one. Such a bo$$ 🎉

[@greenmachine3696]

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

[@bigmike19]

Ben excellent video as always. A little suggestion for pool videos would be to have 2 cameras set up and do some sort of split screen so we can watch the type of retrieve/cadence you use and we can also see the action of the bait. I've been dabbling into the glide/big bait territory lately and I love but man is it expensive as hell. Also would really love to see the step by step joint mod that you do. Tight lines man.

[@JBob08]

Yes!! Great suggestion

[@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

[@BassNBaseball]

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

Klash 9 would be the only other 9" chopper style bait that I know of. Great Video!

[@kituwahband]

Never used glide baits, a couple seem like they're almost under water zara spooks in their movements they make. Very interesting video sir!

Gancraft jointed claw is my confidence glide bait. I throw it on spotted bass lakes, but catch a lot of largemouth on it too.

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@rickwardenaar2639]

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

[@Raoulduke2486]

I got a speed glide 100 i never used before for the sole fact i dont know how or where to use it. Would alot of these techniques work for that particular bait? Thanks for all the killer info.

[@HazyBaits]

smallie killer....

[@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!

[@nathanbruns7053]

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

[@roberthoffman8217]

I totally stopped the video to go grind my sixth sense swim bait definitely looks like it's going to work much better I stopped throwing it because I didn't like the retrieve of it going to try it this weekend thanks Ben

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

When you grind the draw or flow glider, is there enough body there that it doesn’t create a hole in the process?

[@jeffgapen4522]

Yes i would love to see how you modified with the rotary tool.

[@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!

[@keith38able]

Being able to see your lure's action. A pool is good practice for when you can't make it to the lake/pond and learning your lures.

[@derekwilliams6186]

Ben start fishing on tour brother I would love to see you try to qualify for the elite series and fishing the bassmaster tournaments I think you would do great and have alot of fun and give us a inside look of a fisherman on tour that's a KZbinr also it would be so cool either way I love your channel and your a great guy keep it up bro

[@FlippinOkie]

Been waiting on you to make a video like it this BUT with soft swimmers. Like 316 line through or hudds.

[@toddanderson8496]

ME TOO PLEASE! Also include swimmers like Imakatsu stealth swimmer

[@CA-sl2xw]

Dude just knowing about the the TH 316RS is a win in itself there’s no xtra juice. So much $$$$ won with this bait, $10 says he won’t touch it. Best kept on the DL.

[@jeffpickett9730]

Ya I was just waiting for a good reason to upgrade my old school corded Dremel with a new 100 piece cordless kit and that cool vise. Definitely help avoid the accidental hook set. What a kick ass mod for a big Glide bait. Thanks for the tip, good lookin’ brotha!!

[@ThriftyFisher]

Been a HUGE fan of Ben and his channel for awhile now but ngl I don’t use glide baits EVER so I gave the video a like and I’m gonna keep it moving

Great info with this video. Where does the Trace fall in this mix? Thanks again!!

[@garyheath9531]

Very good I bought some that are now hanging on the wall with the other stuff I don't use. I'll try this and give them another try. When do u start throwing these baits? Water temp wise

[@chrisgruver4078]

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

[@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.

[@socalhomies]

Thanks for the information. I'm just getting into glide/swim bait fishing. I noticed that two of the three rods you recommend are fast action. I read/seen elsewhere that a moderate action rod is better suited for this type of fishing. Can you elaborate on the benefits of using a fast action rod versus a moderate action? Thanks.

[@jeremybinz9888]

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

[@nicholasfimbinger3253]

Thanks for the info. I want to try these baits in the fall when the big lake trout come up shallow!

[@charlessoutherland7626]

[@depondhopper]

Great video. Trying to get into it and these "how to" videos really help. Do the Trace next!

[@danthefisherman4793]

Yes.. Please Tell us the pros and COns from the 6th Sense Trace and the Glide Baits... I just got and tried the 6" Tracer and it has killer action but not really that Glide action..

[@kerryparks1979]

What pound test line should you use when casting these big baits? I don't fish mine in fear of loosing them.
