[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺Correct, but the $7.99 price for the 7” is only on the Burnt Bone color. All the other 7” are $9.99 at least they are from my end. Still a fair price. We will have to see if they hold up for any length of time.

Note- this is not the first soft glide bait on the market, there is a company called growdesignworks from Japan that has a glide bait almost exactly the same as this but the USA industry has to copy small companies on any new innovation

[@MattStefanFishing]

I’m pretty clear in saying it is “one of the first soft glidebaits on the market” and not the first soft glide bait. There have been several made in the past but most of those did not withstand the test of time. The Berkley sebile magic swimmer introduced in 2010 could easily by considered as on of the first. I’m sure there are lots more as well that I’m not aware of but just to be clear I’m not saying it’s the first by any means.

[@secretbassrigs]

​​​​​@@MattStefanFishinges, it's really "affordable". China is desperate for mfg exports. It's what the Third Reich really would have preferred too. However, there's at least two reasons I can immediately think of that makes it a necessity to make the price point so "competitive"; first, there's the public reaction to it being a knockoff, second, the reality of having to also compete against made in China AND SOLD BY CHINA knockoffs on Amazon, especially the online retailers IN CHINA such as Wish and TEMU. There's no doubt innovation is taking a big hit from the Brain Drain. I can't blame you Matt. You are Berkley' boy after all. The more normalized relationships are with genocidal regimes the less Berkley and other Megalo Corps have to worry about the Ill will and humanitarian ramifications. It's a narrowing line that Berkley is straddling. As consumers, we need to keep our demands of these "service providers" communicated. If we don't, we only become partners and participants to legitimizing the weakening of our Constitutional priorities. Once the US no longer stands for human rights, civil liberties, and real equality through transparency, it's going to become a very slippery downward slope for the entire world. I really hate to think all the sacrifices made with American lives since the Civil War only amounted to a hill of beans, in the near future. Our honesty, integrity, and identity as Americans are the only things that can save and preserve the foundations that made our people and country so great in the first place. If we can't do it for ourselves, we should be doing it for our future generations. Proverbs 17:16 "Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?"

[@secretbassrigs]

​@@haywardsautomotive6156 in the bible, it says it's okay to own slaves. In these modern times, it's much more "equitable" for us to contract that out too. 😅 How can we recognize each other if we can't recognize foreign assets pretending to be us? Serious question. ALSO, are you ASE Certified?

🍺Thanks Matt. I saw these on Brett Ehler a few days ago. They actually come in 5”,7”,and 9”. Brett says it skips well also. The hook holders are very sweet. Berkley has that Patent from the cull shad.

[@secretbassrigs]

No, it's not anything close to the Cull Shad. Sorry to burst your bubble. The Nessie is a knockoff of the Flag 170/255 by Grow Design Works in Japan. It's almost identical other than the brush tail and Powerbait plastic.

I fish a lot of big glide baits & soft swimbaits. I seen a vid on this soft glide last week. I really want a couple 9" ones! I bet their gonna sell out fast so hopefully I can get my hands on a couple. I'm sure the smaller one are great too but in my exsperiance I've done best with larger profile swimbaits because they have more drawing power. So I hope I can get a few!

[@roberts.2413]

What I like about it is it looks like it could skip well and that it will be silent . I 've noticed on lakes that I fish frequently the I have to work a little harder for my glide bait fish than a few years back and I believe the clacking sound most of them make when they hit the joints have conditioned them some what and will at times make them wary . That said I don't see the 9" as just a Musky bait , as I've caught a lot of Bass on the 8" Magdraft and even the 10" . This bait looks like it folds a lot which will probably make it appear to be a little smaller than it really is . That said I don't have these yet and I appreciate your thoughts on this . I know I 'm excited to try it !

[@MattStefanFishing]

I haven’t tried skip it yet

[@astrophysicistguy]

As someone who fishes glide baits & big swim baits a lot it appears to have the proper glide bait motions including the ability to do 180s and even 360s without moving forward much - this is a critical motion with guide baits and at $12.95 for the 9” its cheaper than a Jack Hammer! If they arrive as indicated on TW around mid Oct it will be prefect timing for down here …

[@MattStefanFishing]

I think these will be a big hit!

[@astrophysicistguy]

@@MattStefanFishing I love the idea of being able to throw these around thick submerged hydrilla edges and not worry about losing them since they are only $13!

[@terrytresemer2864]

I've got golden shiner hard baits on the boat that work real well at several lake's in the area. I think it's because they were used and possibly discarded by anglers from yesteryear. I think I'll be adding a couple of these to my arsenal and be great over submerged grass. Let me know if it works on walleye as well. I go after walleye maybe 20 percent of the time. I'm still trying for that PB of 12+ from Lake Erie. No better eating! I've only one 10+ lb bass to my credit from the South East US. No I'm not telling where!! But it came on a tequila sunrise power bait.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Give them a try!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

That's a good looking bait. I can think of lots of ways to use it in the saltwater. A snook or cobia or tarpon should attack it immediately. If you haven't tried the Z Man WillowVibes jig heads you should. I played with one yesterday and I've never seen a soft plastic act like that. It's a willow leaf chatterbait blade on a jig head for soft plastics. It should be awesome for bass. I think it's going to be deadly for flounder in my new area.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I want to see how it holds up to pike and muskie

Too bad they didn't send you any of the 5in version. Those would be incredible for Smallmouth.

[@johnowens7435]

Matt, I had high hopes for the Nessie after seeing your video and one from Ike. I assume the 7 and 9” models are better but the 5” model just does not swim properly. It doesn’t really glide and the only way I get it to work at all is to add a light nail weight & fish it on a light-medium spinning reel with 6-8 lb FC. It can only be fished like a twitch bait or fluke and does not swim like a glide bait. I have heard this from others who just go their hands on the 5” model. Your thoughts? Have you fished the 5” model?

[@MattStefanFishing]

I have not fish a 5” yet. Only 7” and 9” and they were fantastic. I’ll have to get my hands on a 5” and test it. I hope you just got a funky one

[@johnowens7435]

@@MattStefanFishing see the reviews on Tackle Warehouse from others: Bought 5 inch and no action at all when reeled in. Tried every way possible to get it to glide but not success. Shane - MD, United States November 16, 2023 I'm hoping this only applies to the 5" model due to its short size, but the one I tried had zero action whatsoever. Before tying it on I watched a few KZbin videos of people using it, and it is supposed to have a gentle, enticing "s" motion when retrieved slowly. It even zig-zags when retrieved at a high speed. My bait did neither of those two things - when I reeled it in it just tracked back in a straight line, with no side to side action at all. Themtnghost - MD, United States November 15, 2023

[@johnowens7435]

@@MattStefanFishing one other question, what knot do you use. I tried a palomar knot but realized it moved a bit better with a loop knot.

[@johnowens7435]

I just got the 7” and ordered the 9”, will try these out. I guess the hook set needs to be a sweep and then holding the rod down toward the water rather than holding it high to keep the fish pinned since the hook is underneath the Nessie and is mostly a bottom hook set.
