| I am looking for opinions on jerk and/or glide baits. I have had some success on a reef hawg, but they don't always seem to go side to side like I want them to. I have had no success with a suick for some reason.
I have heard some good things about the Manta, Phantom soft tail, or Dunwright Dancer.
There must be some opinions out there. Let me have them! |

Location: WI | Hellhounds can really dance and are one of the easiest working gliders out there. Undertakers are pretty cool too. |

| I finally bought a Hellhound last year and the rest of my gliders will now hang there looking pretty. It is everything I have been looking for in a glider, right hang time, just the right amount of jukes and jives and best of all not to heavy. IMO of course. |

Location: Eau Claire, Wisconsin | i would have to say that i use the cobbs crazy shads the most and then it would have to be a manta. the action of the wide glide looks good only used mine couple times. i bought some hell hounds i didnt like them they sink to fast, they dont have as much belly roll, and there not as erratic as the wyde glide or the cobbs. i fish alot of shallow rivers so i like a slow sinking glide baits with lots of erratic movment and lots of belly roll seems to help catch more fish for me. also allows me to fish slower and keep it in the holes longer.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Of course I'm somewhat bias'd as to #1 . But for me I like the Alien, and # 2 is a Timber wolf by Shane West, or a Perka by Beaver. Actually a pretty difficult choice for #2. Both make a great lure. The Perka has a bigger profile.
Have fun!

Location: Windy City | I like Hellhounds, Mantas, and numerous other baits but if I was forced to choose one glider hands down it would be the SQUIRKO by Llungen lures . It puts fish in the boat when other lures wont even move them. Just my two cents.

| I'm fond of Wabulls, both sizes, Hellhounds, Mantas, Cobbs, jerko's+Squirko's, Perkas, Dancers... I like a lot of baits. There isn't any ONE that I use. THere are different situations that I use them all, really. That said, I do tend to use Wabulls more than the others, in more situations. |

Can't delete the post, so oh well ...

| i like the Wabull when i want something erratic that will glide left/right but also dance up/down. i fish these with a fast action with frequent long pauses.
i'll reach for the Hellhound when i want something that'll hang and slide a bit more hypnotically.

| gliders suck. 
but if you have to throw one try hellhounds, undertakers, baby jerko/squirkos, turmoils, baby squirrelly phantoms are killer too |

Location: The desert | In the river I wont bother with anything other than a Manta. Current produces a whole new action compared to its action in a lake. |

| Gotta say 10" wieghted Suick. It has the side to side action like a manta or phantom, but with added up/down chop action as well. Makes more commotion for the lateral lines than those stealthy gliders. I've caught several on Mantas as well though, always had best luck on the smaller normal weight mantas, never caught a thing on Hang 10's, though I still throw them from time to time. And don't forget bulldawgs! |

| The only two that I've used are the eddie and reef hawg. I like the reef hawg better because it seemed to have a more consistant action. That said, my buddie's eddie had a little bit different action then mine when I used it. This year I'm going to add a wabull and manta to my jerk/glides. Heard good things about both.

| My "Go To" glide bait is the HellHound.
The runner up would be the Magic Maker.
Both are great baits!!

My three most used are:
Wabull
Reef Hawg
Squirrelly Phantom
It sounds like I need to get a few Hellhounds and a few Perka's.

| My vote is for a hellhound. If I can catch fish with them they must be a decent glider.
