Location: Northern Illinois		Just wondering which method you have more success with overall. I know some answers will be sometimes they want the dive and rise and sometimes they want glide/side-to-side. However, I'd like to know overall what's more successful for you. Maybe I'm not as good at triggering fish with the glide baits, but for me it seems the dive and rise can get fish both more often and when nothing else seems to work.

Location: Madison, WI		For me hands down side to side but that is probably pure confidence, I can fish a glider all year and feel in the game but to me suicks and bobbies only feel right come fall.

Location: In a shack in the woods		I have a weighted sucker suick or chart/ black dot on my deck at all times. Too many fish try to hit a side to side and miss. They are much harder to get good hook sets on. I do use a walleye phantom soft tail though when nothing else is going.

Location: Planet Meltdown		Each has their place but dive and rise baits have a better hook up ratio than side to side.

A suick can do both, why choose?

Glider. For me, hooking percentage varies by glider with some being low (phantoms, mantas) and some being good (hot tails, hell hounds).

Location: WI		Both have there place but if I'm working weeds a suick is my go to bait. It's amazing how with a little practice you can get through really thick stuff

Location: Grand Rapids, MI		My best producers for numbers and big fish are:
- new growth weeds when you can go over the top = glider
- shallow flat where speed is needed = glider
- thick weeds = buoyant dive/rise
- steep break or weed wall = weighted dive/rise
- deep weeds = Bulldawg or Medussa (deep dive/rise jerk bait)
- deep weeds = Triple D (deep glider)
