It hurts to even type this, but Rafa's Custom Baits Joey Shad is phenomenal. He also makes a smaller glide and some others up to 11", and every single one are incredible.

@CA-sl2xw found Rafa early on and I probably have 10 of his glides. The crappie I bought off him was years ago and it's basically a show piece on my wall 😄. The Joey shads are much easier to get, but his prices have definitely went up since TheHookUpTackle started buying lots of baits from him

You definitely need to have a K9 and a TK. K9 fish without a lip mode b (glide mode) and the TK get the bill that looks like a square bill and a v tail and fish it like a jerk bait. Also low floats on both.

@Ijustwanttofish2024Ай бұрын
One or two guys might have mentioned the DRT baits. If you're not messing with a tiny klash or the k9 you're definitely missing out. There's a lot of different modes and lips with the DRT baits. You really need to become proficient with these baits. The hook up to land ratio is also better in my opinion than with some of the glides you showed.

@Ijustwanttofish2024Ай бұрын
@@JohnCrews The DRT is a glide bait, it has a glide mode. In my opinion the DRT TK is way underutilized by the pros. Its more versatile as a tournament bait for a lot of reasons. I dont think its truly understood. You need to spend a lot of time with it to really understand all that it can do. 🔥

@TheCrawdadCrusader6 күн бұрын
I know it’s addicting to keep adding lures to the collection but at what point do you stop? More than 70 percent of those glides do the exact same “s” motion and are the same profile. It’s easier and more effective to stick to maybe 4 or 5 glide baits and master them. Most of those lures in the video didn’t have a chip of paint missing.

What’s the best time of year to throw a Glide?
@troycote4503Күн бұрын
They work all year long. You can weight them down with lead tape to get them to run deeper. Some chop, some run really slow and wide. Spro Chad shad for chop, Sixth Sense Draw with a little weight on in for the wide glide. They're more reasonably priced. 60 and 80 bucks. That's cheap, Deps 250 if you want to go big dog.

Hinkle's are fish catchers but some don't swim without rolling. My experience is the ones that stay upright produce. I always buy several at the same time from him and keep the ones that swim best. There is a difference. They are my search baits especially when bass are on the bottom and you can't see them with sonar, they can't help but come look at it if they are around. How about wake baits like UFO or Toxic? I never see pros fishing them and I catch tons of fish on them.
