Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | I like the Undertaker as my hot Spring glide bait.
The Undertaker can be worked on flats inside the weeds, over new weeds shallow or worked SLOW around the weed edges. Its just a very versitile bait for me.
I like to use a glide bait and twitch bait combo, thats my two rods and usually will have a sucker dragging behind the boat on a slip bobber, my third rod.
Thats my starting line up.
Most of my sucess comes from flats inside of larger weed beds close to spawning areas. The sand and rock combinations are a must hit area also.
What is yours best glide bait?
What technique do you use in the Spring?

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I am a big fan of the Slidin Shad in the spring. Another that I started throwing a lot last spring was a 5.5" Jerko.
Another tactic that works well for me in the spring is working downed timber. Wood seems to hold an awful lot of fish in the spring. Don't overlook hair and topwater in the spring. Anytime I get a warming trend, regardless of the water temp, it seems like hair and topwater will outperform the more finesse techniques. |

Location: Appleton, WI | So far it looks like it will be H20 tackle's Nitro. Had a nice Low 40" fish come screaming up on it last weekend while down at Kinkaid. It was on Rodger's 8" Bluegill pattern. The fish probably would have ate if I wouldn't have got it fouled up. I attribute the foul up to "operator" error. The bait has a real nice darting action, and I compare it to my phantoms that like to get chewed on. If this bait keeps showing me the fish, and they act like the last one did. It looks like it'll definitely be one of my go to baits.
catch ya later,

Location: Greenfield, WI | For me its a toss-up, the Undertaker or the Slammer Drop Belly Glider. Between the two the Slammer is a bit more subtle as it enters the water. You can't go wrong either way. |

Location: oswego, il | So far, the musky reats glider, slammer drop belly and 6" phantom have been good. Other small gliders i am looking forward to using are a divani glider, small nitro, tuff shad glider, ace glider, widowmaker drop belly glider, musky dart, small pearson glider, undertaker, small smultey dog and small wyde glide. I am sure I have more small gliders but that's allI can remember right now. |

| Huge fan of the 8" Jerko, but the 5.5" really was sweet last year. I am looking foward to using the slammer drop bellies this year (if i can find the 2 i bought. I think they have already been reposessed by a fellow EX-friend) |

Location: Just above the thermoclime | Up till this year it's been a HR, but I picked up a power probe this winter and used it for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it. Much lighter than the HR and the action was more pronounced than the HR. |
