Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> Glider style
 
Message Subject: Glider style

I have a question regarding what works best for you when working gliders. I love to work all types of glide baits and have come to find that they seem to produce a lot of follows. How do you guys like to work these baits? What seems to be the right trigger to get these fish to hit a glider?

Don't think there is 'A' right way to get em to go, but here are some that have worked for me. Depends on the capabilities of your lure too. First is to give her the ol twitch, twitch, TWWIITCHH and the spurt out to one side way out might just be 'the best'. Of course there is just the standbys of canging whatever it was you were doing in the first place to the opposite (fast to slow, pause to skip, etc., vice/versa, et al., carpe diem, ad nauseum). Another winner I have is the desperation move: burnin that sucker back straight-line cranking style. That can work too!

Change up... you need to put a quick (up, down) everyonce in a while during the retrieve.

I try to get a long hangtime in my handmade ones, I ever remove lead from faster sinking ones (except some for fishing from a faster drifting boat to keep it down a bit) to make 'em suspend.

Usually I fish 'em with short, slow pulls of about a foot long and quick taps of the rodtip (like for a reef hawg). But this year they failed to produce a pike for me, all were on divers and sliders.

I have problems triggering strike's from the "perfect" left to right glide bait.
What I like to see is the bait be some what erratic and miss a beat once in a while.
