Bud95 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Not gonna get into some of the controversy around the 12” glide he made but the 9” glide was one of my first “expensive” swimbaits I bought when I was getting started. Caught tons of great fish including my pb on it. Not a bad bait for the price haven’t fished any of their other stuff though….

Also worth mentioning that they’re more of a slow wide glide, doesn’t seem like you can get too aggressive or “chop” them or else they blow out. Not sure how you prefer to fish a glide for calico but something to keep in mind as well. Tight lines. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
168 Rookie Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 A member here who makes YouTube videos @Crazybassfisher swears by (or swore by) the ABT Wagtail softbait, he's got years worth of catches on that bait. That's the only ABT info (secondhand) I've got. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian C Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I have a little bit of time with the 9" glide and I really like it. Definitely a slower glide as 168 Rookie said. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to find a different approach to this lure in the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr458 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 about 1 out of every three 9 inch suicide glides I buy swim amazing and catch fish. Its a gamble to purchase one but I have gotten some great gliders Efrain and willsochill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably be a good fit for your situation. Decently priced. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-20 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I've rarely seen them put up for sale. That must say something about how good they are if people are hanging onto them. I always thought they looked really great. Kept on meaning to order one or two to try but never did. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willsochill Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 The 12” model is an exact copy of the hinkle trout joint. Andrew called him out in 2014. Because of that I have zero interest in ever supporting them. Efrain and BayAreaAngler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
