Right now I would have to say the undertaker.
You can make those things do some unbelievable things in the water. If you are fishing the glide baits just like a walk the dog bait, you are missing out on some great triggers with these baits.

Gee, I have to say a Castor, and not just because I make them. Easy to work, and that slow fall with a shimmy during a pause is a great feature.
HR Shakers are still my favorite big glider.
Lambeau, I take it that is what you were looking for?

For sure the 9" Trueglide Hustler. No other big glider moves like that one.

In the past my favorites have been:

Small phantoms
Slammer Drop belly
Musky Magic Slidin Shad

Today I tested a bait in my backyard pond which I just got in a trade. Countdown Cobbs Roundnose. HOLY COW! I have heard of the HR and Cobbs for years but this is the first time I have actually seen the Cobbs in action. What an awesome belly roll even after the bait has stopped its swing.

I'm not much of a Manta fan. Too uniform of a swing for my liking, but I know others have
had much success. I also have ordered and am looking forward to fishing the new ERC Hellhound.

I like the undertaker and phanton but just recently picked up a couple of Hoosier Handmade Baits and I have to say they are without a doubt my favorite glider. They are simple to work, extremely versatile and well made, you can contact Hoosier Handmade Baits at [email protected]. And no I have nothing to do with the manufacturing or selling they are just #*^@ good.

My favorite glider is the Deadhead made by Widow Maker Lures in West Virginia. This lure will show fish when nothing else seems to work. Vipers come in second, with my first Lunge of the year and last lunge of the year in 2004 coming on these. I bought a Hellhound this winter and shore line testing sure shows how well this thing will work. We shall prove that theory out here shortly.

The Slammer Drop Belly Glider (6") is my favorite, with the Undertaker (sinking model) a close second.
The Drop Belly has been a conistant multi-species producer fo me, from opening day to ice-up.

Muskie Treats for me! Followed a close second by Beav's Castors and the Walking Bull. Tuff Shad makes one with great action, I just need to move fish on it for it to advance in the ratings. m
