Angryjohn Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 So i have just started using glides and i see that most of the manufactures all sell a float or a slow sink version of thier baits. If you go to some of the custom builders you can basically get any sink rate you want. Is something other than a floater or slow sink a special purpose bait that fills a small need, or is it an area type thing where if you have deep clear water you want somehting that gets down fast. I always thought it was a top or near surface technique which used size and water displacement to draw the fish up and or out of cover. Do i have the glide thing all twisted. School me please....

bassbass Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Close, but it varies on your water and what fish like. Time on the water will dictate that and then have your baits made to best work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I think it is a preference. But the most important quality must be a decent glide. Some folks like to begin the retrieve when it hits bottom....I am more of a structure beater and like to throw em near docks etc. Esp when wind is on em. Due to the wind which tends to keep em on top, I like a slow sink. Suspenders I think are the holy Grail tho and that is custom work or good mods.
