| What is everyone running for quality wood jerk-glide baits. Usually fish Northern WI lakes with clear water. Also put time on the water in dark rivers. Thanks! #SlImEtImEbAbY |

Location: Lower Peninsula | I’m not 100% sure they are wood, but I really like my baby honey badger from Ashcrafted Musky Lures on Facebook. Crazy action on it this last fall has a horizontal fin thing on the back like a manta. I fish clear water.

Location: Athens, Ohio | The baits I fish aren't made any more, I would recommend Smutly Dog baits from WVa. m |

Location: Black Creek, WI | For clear water, I prefer to use a plastic TripleD crankbait and work it like a glider. Can achieve greater depth and have better depth control too. |

| Howdy,
For WOOD you can’t beat Smuttly Dog lures by Mark Smith, or Widow Maker lures by Speed Jones. As great as their baits are, they are even nicer people. I can’t say enough about them or their lures.
Take care,
Ruddiger

Location: Athens, Ohio | I also really like the Gene Richardson Wyde Glyde baits I have. Good hard clear coat opn them. You may find some of his work for sale occasionally on this site. Another one of those 'really really good people'. m |

Location: Brighton CO. | I use old Eddie's and Bobbie's and Cobb's. On top of that as stated above I'm Big fan of counting or reeling down a crankbait then jerking it in. And last but not least I have a old custom Thorne Brothers Suick that is extra weighted and in a custom painted in a Crappie color and is 30 years old and has not seen the water in 25, I will use this lure this late October on this years trip. |

| I find it hard to beat the Phantom soft tail for the price. Definitely going to look into a few mentioned in this thread though!
Those Steve Gould glides look great, might have to pick one up.
