Glide VS Glide - Who swims the best?? Glide Bait ACTION!

Glide with me as we take a look at the swimming action of six of the most popular glide baits currently on the market. While they are in the same category, all are unique and each has its own personality in the water. Which one is right for you?

[@ajpfishing8811]

Lol 😂😂😂 it always brings tears to my eyes with laughter every time I see a Dep's 250 hit the water on a cast. It's like somebody threw a Buick into the lake. The best is the reaction on the faces of other anglers around you. Excellent demonstration and run down to cover types of motions on glide Baits. To maintain your fishing budget you definitely need demonstrations like this to pinpoint what you're looking for. Absolutely another great video for the novice and extreme angler in all of us. 👍👍👍👍.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Thanks AJ. The differences aren't huge, but they are there. Just hoping that seeing them in the water might help some people when choosing. And your right....the video didn't capture it fully, but a 250 hitting the water IS quite the spectacle.

[@dlewisfl]

Like throwing a deeper sonar device. :)

[@ajpfishing8811]

DanLewis absolutely pal!! After that thing lands you won't see any fish on that graph until they come back 15-20 minutes later LOL 😂😂

[@InformativeFisherman]

Ha!

[@ajpfishing8811]

InformativeFisherman glad to see you came over to enjoy the comments. This is an excellent channel for a wide range depth in types of Lures and how to use them. I enjoy your channel as well. Recently I have invented a fishing knot intended for snaps and split rings. It will work with all types of fishing line for fresh and saltwater. Please check out the video under The "AJ OVERKILL" knot. It has become a success for guys saltwater fishing and bass anglers. Thanks again for having a informative channel. -Aaron Perelli.

[@MeMe-ne6st]

Thanks for another great vid! Worked the mattlures ultimate gill tons last year because of you and landed my pb. Got my hands on one of the smaller deps and I'm pumped to grind that this spring along with the 68 spec. Stay after the big ones!!!

[@caderudiger4038]

Hahaha I've always wanted to see someone get bit in a demonstration video and now I finally saw it, awesome

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Ha ha....it was an awesome surprise for me too. I cast along that bank so many damn times I think it drew the attention of a number of fish and eventually they just had ENOUGH! If didn't show, but one clip I had 3 followers on a cast.....the bite you saw happened shortly after.

[@wsaenotsock9486]

Honestly, I liked this video before it really even started... Knowing your level of video quality & the subject matter = ME LIKEY!!!

[@mcaetano2000]

I liked before it even started too! And the reason was the same. If after watching it I didn't likeed it I'd take off the like, but I think there's only a chance of 0,000001% for that to happen. :)

[@mcaetano2000]

Now I watched the video and wish I could have a "double like" option! :P

[@tenthousandlakes8308]

This was very helpful. Thank you for putting all this footage together. It's nice to see all these baits in the water. Now I can make a more informed decision about what to buy. These swim baits are expensive, so it's nice to have videos like these so I can see what to spend my money on. Very selfless of you.

[@HookLife]

Such a great video. Never get tired of watching this. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@brianschaper9234]

That 3d shine glide by savage gear was really impressive... especially for the price. not sure if anyone else noticed but saw it had a couple followers during the demo. ill have to pick one of those up.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

I agree Brian. The more I have fished it the more I have come away with the same opinion. The Savage 3D Shine Glide is really the best combo of action, price, and components.

[@brianschaper9234]

I since have picked a couple of these up. Stand by my original statement, the action is awesome. Not to mention, the finish and quality is impressive for $25. However, have you noticed any casting issues with these? I am getting some serious helicoptering. WAYYY more than normal (i understand this is fairly common with glide baits). Also, is there anything technique wise to minimize this? Thanks in advance.

[@ZZMOKIN]

Don't hook anything over ten pounds or you'll be sorry, you'll have two smaller lures. First fish a 3 pounder, second fish a 13... now it's a Salvage Gear.

[@BayouFishingBengal]

Hey brother, as far as retrieving are you just straight slow reeling back in or are you twitching the rod any or what?

[@kevinatwell9781]

great video KIR, it made me a subscriber...I keep watching it over and over as I'm new to the glide swimbait scene. Love these lures

[@waldekjarota1259]

Great, much information and not a word too many, gonna stick to your videos for sure!

[@TheBushwooky]

Awesome video! Cool to see the follower at 4:04, and the one that came up to shake

[@largemouthbass355]

The imakatsu ayuroid and bassroid are excellent options as well. They slow float and fish well over grass.

[@Brannok812]

Excellent and so helpful! That Gan Craft sums up my fishing: excitement of a new lure, hook a big fish, lose same big fish, lure stops working as it was when big fish ate it. Seeing all of these in action was very helpful. I have more respect for Savage Gear now.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Ha ha....so sorry John.....it happens to us all. Those Savag Gears are nice right? They undercut the accepted market price point for large glide baits, but there is no performance loss. They are just as good if not better than the competition.....and by far the best value.

[@Lancesitton]

I got the Gan Craft 230 because of this vid. My first cast I caught a 6lb. Thanks man!

[@philipkarlberg9012]

This is my favorite video on your channel. More glidebaits please!

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Thanks Philip....and duly noted.

[@Autoguru83]

Always before you! Glad I found this channel you helped me with some hiking gear, great reviews. Now I just happened to find your fishing channel while doing some research. You seem OCD picky like me it's hilarious how detailed we can get so again glad I found the channel it has already been helpful.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Ha ha....wow, you figured me out! Haven't made a video on the other channel in forever, even though I have so much stuff I want to share. Glad to be of help with both hobbies.

[@drumandball]

Awesome video. Caught my first S-waver 168 fish yesterday! And my second and third...the third being almost 6 pounds!

[@mmatalk3817]

Very nicely done! Keep up the good work, I'm partial to the savage gear s-waver but you have opened up my eyes to the 3-d glide and depps 250 price discussing is a huge point I buy a lot of used lures on ebay fisherman spend lots of money on lures but don't understand the fish catching ratios for example the smaller savage gear will catch lots of small medium and big bass. The bigger swimbait will catch a couple of fish per day some small some medium and huge bass! So fisherman get frustrated and sell expensive baits on ebay cheap.

[@bigkahunainbama8184]

awesome video! thanks this really helps me out with making a decision about which one to get next.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Very cool. Glad it helped.....that was the main intent of this video.

[@tedmccarthy1401]

great video and thanks for everything keep up the good work

[@chrisjasssantos4359]

Nice job man thanks i just start throwing those big baits and looking to get some other man this really help me ...! Im from somerset nj hope one day we can meet on the water

[@kushcrumbleshatter]

That's Deps 250 is where it's at 4 sure, nice vid man.

[@John-ev3cz]

Thanks again for your reply Carl ; like I say I appreciate your videos and your candid opinions ; I’m approaching retirement and the bass fishing game is going to be my hobby even followed up on most of your leads , including the swim bait approach and my first year at it , caught a 5 lbs. 10 oz. very satisfying; equipment including your canoe choice and trolling motor . John

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Sure thing John. Yea, any more questions don't hesitate to ask. I love both fishing and the gear. What are you thoughts on the canoe and motor?

[@Adventures101.]

this is like the 9th video I have watched from you . I just subscribed because . I really like your attention to detail , not a ton of loud metal music in the back ground . a lot of info on what you are talking on ( not squirreling out ) well done i'm going to watch a lot more of you .

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Hey Adventures - thanks for leaving a comment. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to let me know you like my content. You'll probably notice it was a VERY slow year for me video wise and I haven't uploaded in a while. But, I have many video's I am working on and have lots of stuff to edit. So, I hope to provide you and everyone else more content soon. Thanks again

[@Glock-1]

I really like the action of that Savage Gear shine glide it cuts through the water like a knife and nice long glides! I just bought 2 s wavers a 168 and a smaller 120 but I think I'm gonna order one of the SG shine glides

[@ChuckCooper]

Fabulous, thank you. That actually cleared up some confusion and answered some questions I've had about this bait class. Hope you can do the same kind of comparison thing for the multi-jointed glide baits, like the new Gantia. Thanks again for the great clip.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Glad it helped out Chuck.....then I accomplished what I set out to do. I'll keep that idea in mind for this coming season regarding the multi joint lures.

[@TimKollat]

Ive been using the Savage glide swimmer and I've noticed that the bigger 8" one seems to swim better than the smaller one, it has a much wider glide. They both work good though and for only $15-$20 you can't go wrong. The only thing thats bad about them is sometimes you'll get one that sinks too fast. Ive had the best luck catching big bass on the 8" baby bass color. Anyone who is still spending $175 on the Deps are just throwing their money away

[@IdhFishing11]

Bigger glidebaits tend to have wider glides

[@anthonykimball3676]

Love your content man, definitely subscribed!!

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Thank you very much. Appreciate you subbing and taking the time to drop the kind words. Happy Holidays!

[@elonmust7470]

Awesome stuff, thanks!

[@speechless30577]

Great review. You should do a plastic injected bait vs a hard resin bait. The hard resin baits glide really wide but cost more.

[@benzerzanek5837]

Yesss just what I needed thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasoncobb7540]

awesome video..expect nuthin less as usual lol..cant wait to throw my swimbaits this year

[@H0Ly-cHeT]

Good review... Appreciate the info buddy

[@BrokeDownDan]

Savage looked good, the S Waver looked impressive too.

[@victorxavier9977]

Hey Carl awesome video! Your vids always have excellent content! I purchased an S waver during the TW holiday sale excited to try it out. The deps is on my buy list but that new savage is intriguing.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Thanks Victor. I forgot to include the S-Waver 168 in this comparison ( I have one), its great as well. The Savage Gears, both the newer 3D Shine and the original Glide Swimmer are really excellent values.

[@victorxavier9977]

KeepinItReelFishing- thank you Carl keep up the great work!

[@mcaetano2000]

Very good video! Really good. My two favorite youtube channels are Tactical Bassin and your channel! It's great to see you getting better and better with trophy bass fishing and swimbaits in particular. Last time I watched you talking about glide baits you weren't getting the hang of it. Now you're doing a lot better! :) And I loved to watch that fish hit the Gan Craft. Too bad it got away. I see why the Slide Swimmer is the king of the glidebaits: it's like you say, it has a more fluid and natural motion. Do you work your glidebaits just with the reel? I do! I gave up on working them with the rod, first because when using the reel you can have your rod always pointed at the bait, parallel to the water, and that way you're always in the best position to do a sweep hookset to the side, and second, when using the rod tip it's easy to do a stronger twitch than needed and the bait may spin unnaturally and the hooks also may catch the line. With the reel I may reel steadily for some time, then make some quick 1/4 or 1/2 reel turns to make it glide to the side. If I want it to glide more I just move the rod/reel forward to give some slack. It works great! The glidebait I use is the S-Waver 168 since I don't have huge bass here and most of the prey of big bass in these lakes is 4 to 6" baitfish. I almost broke my PB last summer on the 168 with a bass almost 5lbs. Not a huge bass, but here it's a trophy. :) I do the famous S-Waver mod on all my S-Wavers so they glide more. Can you try it and show the difference in the glide of the bait before and after the mod? Here's how to mod it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roe3ep1-fsqWd7M . It's really simple and it works!

[@kyleschneider8962]

The hinkle! But in all honesty its situational. The S-waver 200 makes a clacking sound that can sometimes drive fish through the roof. Early in the year Fluid glide baits like the deps 250, and gan craft, those are my favorite early season for slow glides.

[@thomasdoheny8096]

Love your videos all the info I get from them I take to the Lake with me I live in the same part of the country so our conditions are similar But I haven't seen any new videos in a long time Are you still filming and fishing

[@qechols1]

Nice vid brother. I appreciate what you do. Very inspiring ,

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Thanks man. Glad you like and hope it helps out.

[@davenacrelli8538]

This was great to see all the different brands of the same "style" bait. Would love to see more videos like this one. Frogs, wake baits, 1-3 ft crank baits, etc. and maybe some of the more affordable ones too. Not many people I know of are buying $180 lures. Great job though and thank you!!

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Hey Dave - thanks a lot man. I focused on this style of lure because it is one of the newest categories and I thought that more so than other 'regular' lures people might benefit from seeing how they move. Someone else mentioned to do something similar with large multi joint lures....and that I may do this coming season. Just an FYI....I'm sure your referring to the Deps 250 when you mention $180. If you search around on Ebay and/or Japanese sites you can find the 250 in the $80-$90 range. Still A LOT....I know, but much less than the US retail price. But, also....that Savage 3D Shine Glide and Glide Swimmer were $25 and $17 respectively. No need to spend a lot to get a semi large glide with great action.

[@davenacrelli8538]

KeepinItReelFishing - I like the fact that the review was so specific in the type of lure tested. Not many guys putting out these informative videos (thank you all by the way) on fishing actually are comparing apples to apples. Kudos to you. I was just thinking that if/when you compare lures (whatever you choose to compare) that those lures will be in the more affordable range. That's all. Keep up the informative videos! I really appreciate your efforts. BTW... I have the Savage Gear Glide bait. Just haven't used it yet as I fish mostly for Northern Snakeheads.

[@alldaytony2751]

All really nice baits. just watching makes me wanna go fish. lol

[@Serenity1297]

got a s waver from a freain 120 and fished in for the first time couple days ago and first fish was 4lbs I was very happy i will be buy more swimbaits

[@FishingChanneltv]

glad you put the Savage Gear there, big thumbs up

[@garretthall2651]

great video idea!

[@FreedomFishing]

Definitely helps by seeing the different retrieves of each in real time. Not just one shot underwater shirt clips. Thank you!

[@Rascallucci]

Great video as usual. I would say Savage Gear is the best amongst the bunch. Is really value for money and it doesn't swim any worse than any other lures. Even the largest Savage Gear Glide Swimmer at 8" and 3oz only goes for $24.99. Now, that's the true King of Value. The River2Sea S-Waver is only value for money up to the 168 size, if you want the 200, the price all of a sudden jumps from a very reasonable $18.99 all the way to $45.99. Of course, some folks may think $45.99 is nothing when compared to a Roman for example, I just have a personal psychological barrier, I would rather add a bit more and get a decent rod or reel, but that's just me. LOL. There are some new reasonably priced choices such as the Castaic Boyd Duckett BD Glide, Team Leader Baits Bad Boy Glide, Lucky Craft Real Ayu 178, Livingston Lures B Venom and Livingston Lures B Viper amongst others.

[@yt_life1610]

Great video!

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Like that new savage gear in the bluegill color.

[@stripervince1]

I'm a trophy Striper hunter and I love these new swim/glide baits. I already caught a few monsters on them. I like the 12 inch. They can't make them too big for a 50 lb striper. Yes the JDM s are pretty good too. You don't have to spend $250 to get a good one .plenty of awesome gliders for under $75, sixth sense, storm, savage gear, Jackall. And plenty of garage made ones too. Just gotta ask questions about quality. Wire thru are the best ones and free floating trebbles on swivels. Gotta shop around. I live near a great tackle store here in E. Tennessee, and the owner stocks all kinds of fantastic giant baits. My spinning outfit is a 7'2" St. Croix Legend glass heavy action on a Daiwa Saltiga dogfight 5500 with 66 lbs of drag. (Will pull a Hyundai off the lake bottom) 50 lb power pro slick, 300lb barrel swivel and 80 lb flouro leader. It will handle a 100lb fish. My bait cast set up is a Skeet Reese 10'2" heavy action retractable swimbait micro guide rod with dual fingerguards, a Daiwa prorex 400 (awesome reel 30 lbs drag) 50 lb power Pro slick. It casts these huge 6 Oz monstrosity baits quite a great distance.. my ultimate goal it to land and photograph a 60 lbs striped bass, from shore, no boat no live bait within the next 3 years. I'm already a 5X member of the 50 lb club. Obsessed, I'm out at the rivers and lakes of Tennessee at 3-4am almost every night...if there is anyplace that a monster 60 will come from its here. I'm up for the challenge. Tight lines boys

[@gunnersfishing6986]

Great video man!!

[@tercelmiguel1984]

great video. are you going to do a video on the original trout glide 7?

[@josephkoziol5421]

Well done comparison. Thank you. Anyone out there in comments land try these lures in saltwater?

[@frankmayer1565]

Enjoy the videos. Keep up the great work. Do you modify any of the glide baits and do you always use a snap.

[@outfishontario1272]

Great edit man

[@dianemorici4062]

great video! Whats a good all around line size for these baits?

[@jimishmong]

So much drawing power is true! I saw about 8-10 fish from 1 lb to 5lb follow my deps. Even an otter or beaver which scared me to death because I though it was a DD!

[@phytobedo]

How have I not seen this channel before and subbed? Bad phyto, bad. I'm subbed now!

[@mr.edmiston6725]

Sweet video!!!

[@fishing4reel479]

Nice video! 👍

[@joshdvo8415]

Bought the river2sea and the savage shine glides after watching this video last year. Smashed the Northern pike on the S waver!

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Cool! Thanks for watching Josh....and congrats on the catches!

[@toadslayer72]

Lmao! I knew you were gonna get bit, the water looked too fishy. Great vid dude and I'm glad you pointed out what I think separates the Deps from the rest when talking about fooling the BIG girls....that soft joint.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Yeah....that was awesome getting the bite while having a camera person on it! Too bad it got off. Your right man, and in future table top reviews I will expand on that. But, the quiet nature of the Deps really seperates it from everything else. The Savage 3D shine had the foam dampers, but I notice the hook hardware still clicks and clacks against the lure whereas we know that the soft skin of the Deps presents that.

[@toadslayer72]

It's hard to get a completely silent glide bait because of not only the joint but the hooks and split rings. The joint is definitely the biggest culprit for noise though. I imagine the Roman Made hook baits are pretty silent.. A Deps/Roman Made hybrid system would be dope. I remember a few years back when the glide bait craze was starting to surface amongst the big bait community, there was at least one guy trying to come with a soft version. I can't think of his name right now but he was somewhat known. That proved too good to be true I guess. It must be too hard design wise to achieve the proper buoyancy and still get it to glide right with a soft bait.

[@MAX99999]

How do you prevent scaring everything away when these 200 size lures hit the water.

[@erikmonclark8023]

hey I've looked everywhere for your okuma Citrix Travel rod in H. they discontinued it and I'm only able to find the Medium or extra heavy, on line. Would the extra heavy be overkill for 6-8" huddleston, ganteral jr, and S-waver? I'm looking for a travel rod to throw these baita in the video mostly 1-3 Oz. If you know of a different travel rod that is availible I'd really appreciate it. your videos are filmed amazing and have great visuals and are very informative. thanks

[@michaelporterfield9081]

Do you modify the s waver on the edges for the action to swing wider? I did to my small one. Wondered if you did or was that out of the box action.

[@Keep_It_Loaded]

Good vid as always. Appeared that the R2S had a slight roll with in its glide.

[@kushcrumbleshatter]

Keep It Bent! I have the s waver 168 and it swims beautifully, don't no bout the 200 size

[@kushcrumbleshatter]

Keep It Bent! I personally like the slight roll that 200 had, it flashes hard af

[@Keep_It_Loaded]

kushcrumbleshatter1990 Oh ya, meant it as a good thing

[@kushcrumbleshatter]

Keep It Bent! Yea I no I got you I was jus sayin idk about the 200 but the 168 swims aweosme but I don't think it has as much roll as the 200 but they are both good baits I want to get the 200 soon

[@kushcrumbleshatter]

Keep It Bent! Rite now all I got is a Savage gear line thru trout 8in, R2S SWaver 168, Spro bbz1 8in trout slow sink, Hudd 68 weedless trout, Hudd 8in trout. There's so many more I need lol

[@BassRaider]

Cool video thx

[@swimbaitohio]

Do you use a snap or split ring on your baits or tie direct?

[@Ceegar111]

Are these floating or slow sinking glide baits ? Really enjoyed the video. Have you ever used glide baits for Smallmouth? Did you downsize ? Thank you Don in NJ along the Delaware above Frenchtown

[@waltercabral871]

great video...

[@hebson21]

I picked up a savage gear for 5 bucks, dont expect it to win, but mine works wonderfully.

[@John-ev3cz]

Hey Carl great video just wondering if you use a braided line with a leader and what weight and type a leader and also do you direct tied to baits or just use snap on

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Hey John - over the years I have tried numerous line configurations....straight braid, mono, copoly and fluorocarbon. After much trial and error about three years ago I found that braid, to some kind of leader is my go to in almost all situations. In the case of this video all fish were caught on a either a 65 or 50lb braid with the leaders being 17lb copoly and , I believe 20lb mono (in the case of the Huddgill smallie). I still bounce back and forth between mono and copoly as my leader. In situations where I am using a very heavy, treble hook lure I will use a mono leader, and make it long....at least 10ft. The goal is to create some stretch/flex in the system, particularly when landing the fish and the only remaining line out is about 10ft or less. Otherwise, I usually tie them a bit shorter at around 4-6ft. I rarely use fluro now due to the fact that over the years I have consistently had more break offs on it than my mono and copoly by far. The only instance where I use it now as a leader is when I'm fishing particularly clear water and I'm using a slow or finesse technique in which the fish have ample time to stare at the lure, like a drop shot or shakey head.

[@chuechang3191]

Can you do a review of that Low Down Custom Rod...???

[@MarkPolsky]

Great job! Love your reviews and comparison clips. Did you ever figure out what happen to the Gan craft glide bait? Was it water effecting its action?

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Hey Mark - no.....under more careful inspection I could not find any water (in the right light the lure is semi-translucent). And ever since then it swims fine.....I dunno! But, I love that thing....that flash perch finish rocks.

[@MarkPolsky]

KeepinItReelFishing thanks for getting back to me, it's on my list of baits for sure!

[@Sigollo]

May I ask. Your jointed claw 178 on the video is slow sinkin or floatin?

[@dankfrank3262]

Did you figure out what's up with your Gan Craft? I have a 230 and 303 Jointed Claws and absolutely love them, they get crushed! Kinda bummed to see you had troubles with your 178.

[@fbshaeffer]

And the winner is...Gancraft, for the only bait to score a fish! Although it was difficult, there really is no bait that swims like a 250. I've had more followers with the 250 than any other swimbait. Was that your OG? Another great video, thanks Carl.

[@John-ev3cz]

Hi Carl I’m really enjoying the canoe it’s stable and light enough that if I have to carry it I can and in most cases ; I use a little dolly as you to put it in and out of my pick up bed and I’m using a 32 lb. thrust now but it isn’t quite strong enough so I’ll be going to the 45 lb. to cut through the weeds. Just curious do you use the blood knot to tie line to leader it seems the easiest to tie and smallest other than the FG knot that’s more difficult and what knot to use to tie to your swim baits with braids or leader thanks again John

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Glad to hear that its working out for you. I love mine, the whole set up so much. I actually have their larger model in the square back stern as well...got it last year. I'm going to have some fun with that one this year and put on a 24V, 80lb motor on it. But yeah, the 45lb model is what I've been using for a couple years now and feels "right" for the craft. In terms of leader to main line/braid I use the Alberto knot exclusively. My reason for using was simplicity. I looked into the various popular joining knots and the Alberto was easy as heck and I could remember it. Of course, we can all just look it up on our phones here on KZbin, even on the water. But, apart from being simple it was quick. Of course neither being easy to remember or quick matters if the knot isn't dependable and as you might imagine I only stuck with it because I have had almost zero failures. Literally, having tied it a few hundred times I can only remember a single instance where I had it come apart/fail....and, it was an instance where I was being incredibly stupid and saw that the knot wasn't as tight and clean as I usually tie it....a few loops that didn't cinch. Instead of retying I so lazily used it and it probably would have held had I not had a backlash/spool lock up mid-cast and that amount of force caused it to snap apart. That was the one and only instance of a failure. Never on a hook set or any other mid-cast backlash. Never on a fish. There have even been instances where I was snagged deep and got to the point where I realized I couldn't free the lure so I put on gloves, wrapped the line around my hand, and pulled straight against it. You guessed it.....line always broke at the line tie and never at the joining knot. I'm just seeing how much I wrote on this damn knot....haha. Yeah.....its a damn good knot and I trust it with my next PB or state record. Here is the man himself showing how its done....so easy, so effective. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGaZgGZ5j7uoba8

[@shadgravely4358]

How do you like your lowdown custom rod?

[@caligirl143521]

Awesome video !! As a neb to swimbaits/glidebaits, are the ones demoed floating or slow sinking?

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Thank you! They were all slow sink.

[@kevinatwell9781]

Now you need to make one comparing the duo realis, mega bass and Roman made mother with the deeps 250...have I left any out ?

[@jaxonnankivel7865]

Kevin Atwell that’s an expensive video lol

[@jarodbarefoot6398]

Where did u get the deps lure

[@jasonwaring1314]

Is that chartreuse paint on the top of some of your lures. I think that could really help me see what I'm doing while learning.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Hey Jason - the Savage Gear 3D Shine Glides comes with that white stripe. You can apply bright paint to the top of any of them (popular in Japan). Its just like you said....it really helps to get a better understanding of how the lure is responding to your inputs.

[@FilipinoBMW]

Savage Gear glide swimmer is legit and you can do the 360 turn with the right twitch.

[@markrigg6623]

The memory in that line. Holy crap. Is that foolacarbon?

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

This is going back, but I'm pretty sure that was Berkley Big Game in either 20lb or 25lb. I used that rod/reel set up primarily for the big Deps 250, so I went heavy duty on the line in hopes of not breaking off. Side note - all of these lures, especially the small to medium size ones, would have had noticeably more action had I been using a smaller line. I know Butch Brown has stated he goes to 12lb Seaguar AbrazX on the Deps 175 because it improves the action so much.

Hello I got a question, how do you put an inline single hook on a glide bait / swim bait. i got my hands on a GanCraft

[@thegoods2240]

That bluegill at 3:47 must be wearing a yellow perch costume.

[@drumandball]

You gotta get a savagegear 4' bluegill. It was only 10 bucks. Granted, it is small but the action and paint job are absolutely incredible for a 10 dollar bait. Would love to see you do a review.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Hey Isaac - I got the small and larger version as soon as they came out. I like them....but am not in love. I found my slow sinks BARELY sank and would stay on top unless I reeled crazy slow, but reeling slow enough to keep them subsurface would be too slow to continue their swimming action. The larger version 6" was better, but its just a large lure as bluegills go. Perhaps Savage has revised them as bit as mine were the first very first batch that was released.

[@drumandball]

Perhaps! I am new to swimbait fishing...so it could very well be that I am too easily impressed. Mine seems to work pretty well when I reel it at a moderate speed with my 6.4:1 and give it some twitches. Perhaps they tweaked the model, or perhaps I'm too easily impressed. I'm a poor college student, so I will be fishing the savage gear when I'm not at a good enough lake to risk getting my mattlures ultimate blugeill snagged. Love your videos. Keep em coming.

[@larrymoss9954]

Where can I get the Savage Gear lures & Gan Craft lures?

[@zlidewayz]

Awesome Video Keep it Reel

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

damn DEPS are awesome especially the 250 but holy crap the price of that baby

[@ironbound8438]

Good stuff man.!! Just getting into glide baits myself and am using the original savage gear. I see you have an LDC XH rod. How are you liking it? How does it throw those lighter 1.5-2oz baits? I know it rated for 3- 8oz. I've been going back n forth between the LDC XH OR THE MEGABASS orochi leviathan rated from 1/2-8oz. Been wanting a new rod for my Calcutta d300. Decisions decisions.... keep up the good videos

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

LOVE the LDC XH. As you saw it can cast even the little 6.5" 1-3/4oz Savage Gear just fine (and obviously I wasn't trying to cast far). The thing that is so rare about that rod is that it is a slow action. You NEVER see slow action rods anymore (think fiberglass rods of old). As a single, do everything rod for various size/weight glide baits I think the XH would totally work. Of course it loads up best and performs better when in its weight range. The S-Waver 200 is the "just right" weight and it can straight up BOMB that lure for distance. That slow action gives maximum cushion and flex for these style of baits that use treble hooks.

[@ironbound8438]

KeepinItReelFishing awesome!!!! Thank you sir. I just need to wait for them to be in stock again 😩..Keep the swimbaits/glide bait videos coming. Maybe some mag top water videos if the situation lends itself.

[@EstefanBallesteros]

You should test the bass pro shops brands vs others

[@yatesbaitstv6796]

man that s waver is impressive for the cost

[@baileywatson6143]

Should you use a musky leader with big swimbaits if you are in an area known for having muskies?

[@Louis.slmn93]

Yes , it's one of my favorite lure for big pikes and a leader is needed !

[@travisbrown1893]

My glide swimmer 135 takes on water. Ever had this problem with urs?

[@chrishayes4939]

Is that Gan craft a floating or slow sink?

[@niccotartaglia310]

Did u get a follower on the shine glide in the video? Or am I just seeing things lol! I can't even catch fish on swimbaits in south jersey.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

You saw correct! Had a small one coming up behind it there.

[@sentinelfishing2050]

This video is why I can’t find a damn perch 178 right now! 😂

[@PulchriTube]

why don't you list (in the notes to your videos) the brand, name, etc. of each lure you're reviewing? for us newbies, it's tough to hear the details of what you're describing enough to find the lure online. Maybe even give us a link to the lure at reasonably priced seller? just a suggestion...

[@southernstylebassin9118]

also the jackall ganteral would have been good to compare due to its popularity

[@stimorol5737]

In the video, Deps SLIDE SWIMMER 175 slow sinking or Floating ?

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Slow sinking
