Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Last night I threw my first Power Probe (mini 6inch). By far and away the PP is the easiest bait I've ever worked (actually didnt really have to work at all). For those of you who have'nt had the opportunity to try one, I highly suggest it. All you need to do is turn the crank and the bait works itself. No twitching, no jerking.
I turned to the guy fishing with me and said...."I feel like I'm cheating because I dont have to do anything to it."
I'm pretty new to the glide game, so if anybody else out there is like me, go buy a mini PP, they're a great way to start out.

The side to side action is so smooth that you find yourself trying to twitch & jerk to see if that will change the action. It makes the undertaker hard to grab from the box. I feel that when the water warms the pp will be a killer. |

| Hi All,
When I take younger kids out fishing for muskies (after making sure they are into fishing enough so that they don't need a GameBoy to fall back on), I usually have them start out with something foolproof and unlikely to get snagged.
I start out with topwaters like Topper Stopper, or maybe a Hawg Wobbler. After that I might put them on a crankbait that will float if retreival is stopped.
With kids that have a little more experience I would have them throw a spiinerbait or bucktail, and try to get them aware of how deep they should run them, start working on their awareness of the breaks and other structure.
I haven't thrown a Power Probe, but I like the ease of use of a couple other gliders: Manta and Maina's Magic Maker.
Later,
papa joe |

Location: Racine, Wi | Has anyone just cast and reeled a Slammer DB Glider. They have a nice smooth swing back and forth as well. I haven't thrown a PP yet. Are they lighter than most glide baits, or are they just as heavy, just easier to work?

| Add the P-Ron-Ah to the list.I've thrown the small one a bit this spring and same deal.Distinct side to side swing(not necessarily a glide)on a straight retrieve.Very nice.Would be a great bait for kids. Steve |
