Without repeating too much info on the Build Thread, this is the exchange thread... Baits are 6.5" and 3.75 oz. They use 0.092" Stainless Steel screw eyes that are bent inside the bait to ensure they will never come out. Both models are $85 Shipped ($77+ shipping), and they come with beefy hardware. The wake bait and the glide bait can both be worked at high speeds and very slow speeds. The wake bait almost has a flopping/injured swim, while the glide bait has a defined natural "S" glide. I can custom paint them how ever you would like, I can even match a real gill for you. I have done Crappie, Bass, Shad, or Natural Gill patterns. Heck if you want one hot pink ill do it for ya. You can PM me on here, or find me on Instagram with the same name "VolunteerSwimbaits", and DM me there. You can find the swim video for the glide model HERE Let me know if you have any more questions, ill be glad to answer them... Ps. All profits will be going to help fund a missions trip to Ecuador this summer, thank you.

Just fish every day. Wham bam!

It's time again, the bass imitations are out of hibernation. This strong bass got me my pb last year, gonna try to get a new pb Lost 2 on the sly guy bass glide, with new battle scars

Well got to fish a toxic bait finally. Got a new whipper snapper in the mail Saturday after missing out on a few in my price range. Went to a lake where we figured the fish might be in post spawn and be willing to eat the wake bait. Turns out they were and they were chewin. 15 or so fish to about 5 pounds in 3-4 hours. Last cast of the night got trainwrecked, turns out to be a big cat. For some reason had to take a picture. Fish slipped out of my hand and left with my rod tip and snapper. So one trip and already gone so soon.... oh well great bait tho and now I need another if anyone looking to get rid of one lol

Here we go for a second round. I'm keeping this as it is. I told myself to stop changing it haha last changes; no scales, some extra dorsal fin lines, no fins, no bottom fin and a small adjustment on the tail section.

Was at my local pond yesterday, and the wind started blowing, followed by a 10 degree temp drop. Then clouds and rain. Tied on a WSB125 rat and bingo. This little fella wanted it. He was a little bigger than he looks, but not much! lol

I have 2 Daiwa DX rods XXH and XH and they're my absolute favorite rods. I've beaten the living crap out of them and they still work wonders for me. I don't think there's another swimbaitunderground rod for the price that can compare. I effing love these rods, going to get a 3rd.

Great looking baits. That crappie is killer man!

Baby Wake has landed in Sacramento, CA! Had a short session today with no takers. I’ll get a couple more trips in before sending it off to the next guy

It's finally warming up here in Seattle. Stuck this old girl on the Hudd right as the sun started casting good shadows.

you can't trust anyone

Decent rods, I like mine. I'd just say for anyone looking to buy one....they're pool cues. I'd really only suggest it for weedless baits (like 12/0 beast hook). Even exposed jig hook baits I'd probably opt for a little softer rod if I had to replace mine. Oh, I almost forgot...the handles are VERY short. Like 13-14 inches from the butt to the reel seat if I remember correctly. Most of you guys probably won't like that.

Yeah go to the site and refresh the page 100 times a day.

Caught this little football yesterday. Took the blk800 straight from the tube to a pond and had the boom boom smashed first cast. (Threw around a 7” dockrat gill prior and the rod feels made for it) Not a full rod review or anything just wanted to share my little chunk and excitement. Cheers SU

@SumoNinja awesome! What kind of gloves are those?

Nice! I'm gonna have to start throwing bass patterns more too...

I love the tail kick on these Nice catches Brian

It’s a great bait, got the gill glide, paint and finish top notch, you guys won’t be disappointed

@surfk9 they are nice rods, I picked one up used from the black Market and cleaned up/fixed the cork handle. If you get one I would suggest sealing the cork handle prior to use. also look at the Daiwa Kage series, it’s the next step up, think they’re like $220, not sure why TW doesn’t have em yet but they are very nice factory rods. Seems like a lot of places don’t carry em yet. Buddy has a couple of each and hasn’t had any issues at all with em.

I have that rod. I love it. Throw everything from 10xd's to swavers. Even hudd 68. Great all purpose rod for thr cost.

Solid fish all around...that cat deserves to be in a frying pan haha. Sorry for your loss

Surprise kitties are the best kitties

...but where's the fun in that??

@Kbfrenchies i am loving it, things so light.

Yes, this was the biggest our of 8 on the HPH glide

Nice bag. Did you go out again the next day?

Nice.. how you like that 8’0 black list? i just picked up the 7”10 blacklist

Crappie profile looks awesome man.

caught a few this morning, this being the biggest.

$2K drt rod....right?

Added an f5 blk800 to the lineup

they look good, keep it up..... swim video would be nice.

I work this bait just like a jerk bair

Man I love seeing real deal fish. Nice job!!

Nice! Cant wait to get my sly gill!

Ha Ha Better than Chunk bait

Added a few I’ve been waiting for a while

Looks even better in person...so stoked to finally own one of these bad boys! Thanks Brayden!

The final piece showed up yesterday for the TK setup. Megabass Valkyrie VKC-74H+ paired with a Shimano Antares DC MD

Segaur Tatsu is a sweet line. Pricey, but sweet. But I generally use braid to a copolymer leader and only dabble with fluorocarbon lines here and there.

Here's the swim video on the mattlures, glides well and pushes out to each side on the pause between glides. The twitches are alright. (Excuse my voice, dont have any experience creating videos) GOPR0627.MP4
