| Correct me if I'm wrong, but are all glide baits slow sinkers? I have mainly thrown Mantas and Undertakers and am not familiar with others such as Smutly Dogs, Phantoms, etc.

Location: Greenfield, WI | My Undertakers have options, some sink fast, some almost not at all. All my Slammer Drop Belly Gliders sink, some more than others.

| For me, that is the greatest part about wooden baits, no 2 are the same and they all have a different personality! |

| I custom weight all my wood glide baits, to make sure they hang or slowly sink. Most gliders like HR Shakers sink slowly but the best new ones like the Wabull and Hellhound hang!  |

| I have some floating Amma Bamas.They look good in the water, but I've never given them enough time.What's that saying,so many baits.........I do like working them slower than I do the sinkers. Steve |

| Some sink slow and some sink fast.
Some manufacturers, will list the sink rate-one foot per second- some will sink faster. Some come offered in different models so you can have your pick.
I like mine to sink slowly, and weight the ones that I make to get as close to neutral as possible, so they will almost hover in place during the pause.
Faster sinkers are often designed for fishing deeper.
I still like mine to slow sink, or barely sink so that they imitate a struggling baitfish. I also incorporate many pauses during the retrieve to make them look even more like a dying fish trying to right itself.
