| I've been using mono leaders on my gliders lately and sometimes they impede the cadence of the lure. It seems as though throwing a little heavier glider(3oz or better) lure with the florocarbon leader works the lure to near perfection(with a tuned lure of course). I'm somewhat baffled now in regards to what i should do when throwing the lighter gliders with the floro. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks! |

| I had this problem too, along with the lures kicking out too much and fouling on the leader. Best results for me have been switching to 174# wire. Problem solved. Added bonus: It's easier for me to work WTD baits with wire too. Still using flouro for everything else. |

| go to wire. gliders work much better with wire. no swivel with split ring. |

| Check out the "hardwareless" jerk bait leader by Pearson Plugs. I got a few from Kyle @ bigwood. Very cool design and make gliders perform extremely well! |

Thanks for the tip. Those look easy to build too. |

those leaders work best on gliders that have horizontal screw eyes but no so much on gliders that have vertical screw eyes. with vertical screw eyes you'll want to use a ring. |

Location: In the Weeds | I use a bait rigs jerkbait leader. No hardware on it, which was mentioned above also. I use it for jerkbaits, WTDs, and gliders. Good Luck |

| does it impede the action of the glider or make it not work at all- come in straight like a suick or like a glider with a weed on the back??? because sometimes this kind of thing actually makes the bait more erratic thus more of a trigger,,,perfect gliders that glide perfect seem to have more follows then hits some of my six inch phantoms I use non wire leaders on because without a pivot point of wire they have more of a all over action

| Well, the smaller lures(rapala glider in particular) seems to be running a little to the left and than just straight. Your correct though on the fish hitting a lure with an "out of the box" cadence. I was actually pretty disappointed with the lure, so i thought i'm going to switch-up the action. I gave the glider a jerkbait pull with a deep pause and a couple seconds to let it sink, started the retrieve and sure enough i caught a fish. No musky but a little dink pike. |
