Posts: 513 | Hey All, I was wondering if those of you out there who have thrown / use both the HR 8" Shaker and 8" Trueglide Hustler can offer some insight into the difference in the action between the 2 baits as well as any preferences you might have? Thanks | ||

I throw both and like both. They for sure are different lures though. The Hustler has more of a turn at the biginning of the pull. It really flashes the sides. I catch most of my fish on that lure on the pull. Something about that turn. The Shaker is heavier and has more of a standard side to side action,but has a nice belly roll on the pause. I catch most of my fish on this bait on the pause. Both are great baits! If I had to choose one, it would be the Hustler. Better finish and I've caught some really nice fish on the one I have. ![]() | |||

Posts: 502 Location: Lincoln UK | Hustlers everytime, more life in Hustler and you get a that crazy extra turn in at the end of the glide, a trigger if I ever saw one. Hustlers $40, fantastic finishes and they all run right. | ||

Posts: 921 Location: Apollo, PA | Both fantastic muskie dropbellies, the two best on the market today. Both have different triggers as said in above post. Joel Pederson of trueglide is a great guy and friend of mine. ![]() Have a couple of each in your tackle box, if you dont like either of them, they will sell fast.......... | ||

Hughes Rivers and True Glides are both great glide baits, and work very well. I highly recommend both of them! ![]() | |||

Posts: 156 Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Great baits and easy to use if good at twitching rythm with rod. The pause and distance gliding is the key it seems. The shaker has a slower longer glide with a nice "shake" on the pause. The shaker hangs better for me, the trueglide sinks a little faster but looks more natural in the water than a shaker. Both produce fish if used right. Great baits for this time of year. Noteable mentions are smuttly's and cobb's! Rank- (tons of variables) 1. Cobbs (crazy shad 8") 2. Smuttly Dog 8" 3. Trueglide 8" 4. Shaker 8" Tough call in the end! Very similar baits yet so different. ![]() Picked cobb 1st because I can "feel" this lure better while working it than the rest. seems to push more water because of it's flatter design compared to being round like the others. This is a more tiring bait to work, like a suick than the rest though. The shaker if round nose version is a very heavy bait to toss all day as well. | ||
