All,

Does anyone have any feedback on the Joe Bucher Glide Raider, good, bad, indifferent?

Thank you,
Green

Probably not much to say as the bait just hit market. Maybe a few guys out there had proto-types but they are jsut hitting the general population this spring.

Mojo,

I know I'm a bit early on this one as the lures are so new, just stoked at the idea of it like many I'm sure. This winter and no Muskie fishing just gets a guy anxious I tell ya! So far have not seen any videos on it as of yet but have seen some folks that have them just have no thrown them yet. If you do hear anything I would love to get any feedback out there. I may just have to pick one up and giver hell!

This is new that I found out about it at Chicago Musky Show and I guess that is not many anglers use it last year. Buy one and see if you like it or not. I am sure that we will know more about it later this year when people use it.

A friend of mine bought one, we threw it in the pool at a hotel yesterday.
Was very disappointed It rides with its head up like its not balanced properly, it stays very high up. would be fine in a foot of water. Tried floro and wire leaders it still did not go side to side very far and you have to work at a snails pace to keep it down.
will not be buying one and my buddy is selling his at swap.

Isn't it designed SPECIFICALLY to keeps its head up? I thought that was the allure (no pun intended).

Thanks gents, maybe I will be waiting a bit on this one;-) I'm sure somebody will have something on here sooner or later. I was hoping for a really wide glide like the River 2 Sea glider but maybe easier to work than that thing is. I do like Bucher's baits and they get straight bit so I was optimistic on this one. If I do hear anything I will make sure and share.
