Posts: 32902 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Gliders do not suck. Throw them only when you re not moving fish on other presentations, and that conclusion may be possible. Underated glider? The Suick Wabull. | ||

Sure they catch fish, just not by me. I made up my mind a couple years ago to get serious about throwing mag dawgs. Bought some, bought a rod built for heavy lures, even spent extra time in the weight room doing exercises designed to help throw the big lures. They look great in the water but I just have not had a lot of success relative to the time and effort I put into throwing them. Not giving up, but not expecting great results either. | |||

Posts: 267 | My favorite glider for years was the Reef Hawg. But you'd have to buy a half dozen to get one that ran perfect. But man, at one time it probably accounted for 50% of the fish I caught. Now I hardly throw a glider. Probably need to throw them more again. | ||

Posts: 461 | Gliders are good for moving fish when nothing else will. The dumb fish sure do miss them a lot, and they are hard to figure eight really well. Probably my 4th option, if bucktails, topwaters and dive and rise baits aren't moving them. | ||

Posts: 493 Location: Northern Illinois | Crankbaits, either twitching or banging cover, are second to bucktails for me for casting success. Jerks and rubber after that. I should throw topwater more. | ||

Posts: 1144 Location: Minnesota. | I'm old fashioned...as well as just plain "old"! I have trouble getting past pitching single bladed 9's and tossing stupid dang Suicks... Yeah, those dumb ol' single blades and that dumb ol' piece of wood... I really need to try my Weagles, I have a few in diff. sizes and heaven's knows how I love topwaters. Got a few varieties of the good ones from Flaps to Cisco Kid-type and they're wonderful. Then there's those first two I mentioned that just keep on producing... But I'm old! An' I do okay....(but I'm not immune to the hype) .... 3 boxes full of 9' Suicks!!! I don't have enough time left!!! Best to ya'all in 2020. Gonna be a good year!

Posts: 267 | Really? Don't you remember Bob Mehsikomer catching tons of LOTW muskies on Reef Hawgs and then his "Pig". Lots of 50s. If bucktails weren't showing fish on LOTW, a Reef Hawg would bring them out. Especially my buddy's orange one,...., until he lost it. | ||

Posts: 781 Location: Ames, Iowa | Bob M's go to bait seemed to be the Jackpot. I love working em, and they look awesome like something has to eat it. The closest I came to a muskie on a Jackpot was the local 55 incher that knocked the bait two feet in the air and came clear of the water itself. Never saw it again after that. It probably got netted or died of old age. | ||

Posts: 267 | Yeah, the Reef Hawg days for Bob M was before the Jackpot days. | ||
