Location: Puyallup, WA | Jerkbait: Ducktail's Weedwarrior. Similar to a suck but heavier so it casts easier and hangs a bit longer. Also, the weedless version is fantastic when bring it through weeds.
Gliders: Bikini Baits Turmoil is my go to bait. I also like Phantoms. |

| My favorite is now and always has been the Tuff Shad Glide Baits #1 for me year after year and I do have them all.. I think once you have alot of confidence in a lure you just always grab it first. I m certain it is the easiest to use and there is no way of fishing them wrong. #2 is a toss up between a Hell Hound and a Ace Glide Bait... |

Location: SE, WI. | Glide baits are fun to throw and do locate fish....But I agree with bn...glides baits just do not produce many catches. After I have about 9 fish miss the bait out of about 11 strikes in May, I put them away out of shear Frustration!!!
I like , Power Probes...Undertakers...Reef hogs...Hughs River.
Throw the glide baits in the woods and let them rot like the rest of the fallen wood!!!  |

| The ultimate jerkbait is a suik. But since you havn't had much luck with a suick I would recommend a Viper. You can work them walk the dog fast or slow, make them glide a couple feet to each side, or even make them dive under the surface and walk the dog down there. |

Location: MPLS, MN | Mantas:
as far as hook up ratios if the bait they want is a glider and your hook up ratio is 25% it's better than the zero bites you could get throwing the wrong tool. Glide baits are great cold front lures and also great real shallow on them super hot blue bird days. |

| +1 on the Slidin' shad, my pb and others on this bait. Well built easy to work. I also like Baby Wabull and Cobbs. I'm beginning to be a glider fanatic so many more purchases are ahead!!!! |

Location: big cove tannery pa | I have a 7inch shad glider that supermuskie made me 2 years ago,i have caught so many on it that the clearcoat and paint have come off half of it,all you see is the white undercoating. I love that glider and is my goto glider. I purchased a bluegill hellhound this year and they have a reat body roll. Also magicmakers and phantoms are sweet.
As for a jerkbait my number one go too is a suick,produces so mant strikes.
Also as for gliders, i broke my wrist last year and ever since then i cant throw them very long,do they make a wrist brace for gliders that i could try. |

| Try a Freestyler, lots of belly roll, big fish like it!
Manta: Cast like crap, far to stable (catches more anglers than fish), hard to hook the fish on. |

| I really think a better question is whether or not you should waste time with glide baits.
Yes, they catch some fish, but they also tend to be follow baits.
Poll guides and pros as to what percentage of time they tie on a true glider, and I think you
will understand much more about the place gliders should have in your tacklebox.
BTW, I would not consider suicks, reef hawgs or bobbies to be gliders, though they get mentioned
here as such. |

| I saw something called a Warlock in a sports shop the other day. Anyone try it? |

..,do they make a wrist brace for gliders that i could try.
I wear a wrist guard (on my rod hand) while casting any musky lures. I originally bought it when I started snowboarding. Try it out for a while, the worst that can happen is you'll get a goofy looking tan. |
