Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | What's your preference? Personally, I like the round body gliders like Cobb's Round Nose and Blue River's Undertaker. |

| Round Body...WABULL!! |

| I like to let the fish tell me what one they want.
They both have there place but I do more with the drop belly's (Slammer's).
I think it's the extra wiggle while it glides that throws off more flash that the fish seem to like. |

HELLHOUNDS ALL DAY!!!
Just try one and you'll see.
Best glider/jerkbait I've ever thrown. You'd think its remote controlled with what you can get it to do.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | They both have a time and place.
I love the Undertaker and Wabull but the Drop Bellys have outproduced them on a few occations.
The WMT last year for example:My partner scored on a Slammer Drop Belly and I had squat on my Undertaker that day. |

Location: Greenfield, WI | I have a long history with Undertakers and Slammer Drop Belly Baits. I have had very good success with both, but historically the Slammer does better with multi-species. |

| I use them both but have to admit I've been a bit more partial to drop belly style recently. This winter at the shows I've picked up Smuttly Dogs, Slidin' Shads,and Cobbs but also purchased one of Doug Kloet's new small Instigators which is more of a round bait style. The Bikini Baits also looked excellent as well as the new version of the Magic Maker. |

| I use both but partial to Slammer Drop Belly Gliders and HR Shakers. Love the Wabull, Viper, and other round bodies too.
And I agree, can't wait to try out the ERC Hellhound as soon as Indiana lakes open up, that might be my new favorite!  |

| I'd have to pick a drop belly if I had to pick one.
I just like the bigger profile.
I'll fish one of my Castors or a HR Shaker before I throw anything else.

| Anyone like using a slidin shad? Are they worth 20 bucks?
Just bought a new one and would like to try it, but I keep snagging people at the YMCA and they keep kicking me out. hehe

Location: mpls | Dropbelly for me. I prefer the 9" Trueglide Hustler all year long. Can be work fast or slow and has tons of "shimmy". |

Location: Apollo, PA | Depends on what the fish want that day. I really like 8" hugheys and have a couple that are "annointed" so to speak. I also love the shakers 6 and 8 inch.
They flat out catch fish.
Had the pleasure of fishing uptowns 9" hustler in Canada last year. I had a tough trip, but that drop belly has the longest glide of them all, and they are just beautifully made lures. I'm looking forward to trying Jim's "Castors" this spring. I put them in my washtub and they suspend very nicely. Guess i'm just a glidebait junky, but i have a good time and am blessed with a number of quality baits to fish with. Thanks guys, hope this helps, but really probably doesn't answer your question. Good Luck this Year!! PS |
