Location: midwest | Lots of really good gliders out there. Hellhound and Phantoms are the most popular. I really like the slammer drop belly for a smaller 6"glider. |

Location: Appleton, WI | That's a very hard question to answer. sometimes the fish want the bait to have that good glide back and forth, then sometimes they want that little bit of belly roll. The easiest ones for a beginner to run are mantas, sea cow's or hell hounds. If I was to grab the bait that just catches fish in my go to box is an old reef hawg that just runs perfect with a little bit of a wobble when I pause it on the outside. But for every reef hawg that runs great I have 10 that just don't run right.

| I really like Fat A.Z. Musky Products "stinger" glide bait. But I am a little bias as I make them...
But in my travels I found that as long as the glider you have on is working like it should you will get fish to hit it. Before I started making my own I used alot of phantoms and HH. I caught a lot of fish on those baits. But not so much any more as I been using the same perch stinger for the past 2 years exclusively. Use what bait you like the best. |

If one already owned a Hellhound, would they also need a Stinger? Just wondering if the action differs, as they look very similar to a hellhound. I like the looks of the paddle tail soft plastic 'swimmer' lure on your site as well. |

Location: SE Wisconsin | The Missouri Bait. It's a glider I made myself. I made it from hard maple. It's 8" long, black with an orange belly and gold holoform sticker on the sides. I've moved a lot of fish on it. Has good side to side action and will go up and down also. It's more satisfying to catch a musky on a lure I made myself. It's worth the time and energy. Gliders are probably the easiest hard body bait to build. |

I use a few different kinds including Phantoms and Hellhounds, but the Warlock is my absolute favorite. Great action and some nice patterns too. |

I really can't say if another person "needs" another bait. But I can say the reason why i made the stinger. When I used phantoms I wished they had the glide of a HH. Don't get me wrong they work but they don't have the ease of action of a HH. When I would use a HH I wished it had the third hook like a phantom as I was losing more fish than I thought I should be.
So I set out to made I glider that has the good from both baits. I also wanted a true 8" bait. So while my bait may have some similarities if compared by memory to a HH they are not even close in body shape when you get them side by side. I also feel a stinger has better action.
But as far as a need for a person to have in their box I will never say someone has to have this bait or that bait. Some may not the the size of my bait or that it has three hooks or that it runs a little deeper.
I try to make a bait that fills what I feel is a gap in what baits are available already. I like to offer somthing slightly different than just another bait doing the same as a lot of the baits out their. But I'll be honest as most anglers al ready know there is no magic baits you have to work them all and they all will catch fish |

| I like kodiaks gliders as well. Got a chance to use a stinger this past season and that was a very nice bait |

| My favorite would be Cobb gliders. Great action. But that is just me.
Muskies? From what I've seen they enjoy my phantom softails more than any of my other gliders. |
