VolunteerSwimbaits Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Is this your first time using swimbaits? Or just looking to get into glide baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomFather Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I've fished swimbaits before and have only used the Savage Gear Shine Glide to this point but was looking to get a different glide bait and those are the 4 that look the best to me from what I've read and watched videos on just curious which direction all of you would go first.. The S Wavers are cheap enough where I will probably get one of those anyway but the other 3 are mainly the ones that I would like to know what all of you would buy first because they are more expensive and I would only be able to afford one as it stands right now The gear I currently have will be able to handle any of the 3 from a weight perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Krys860 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Bang for your buck is the s-waver. Things straight get bit and for $40 you can't beat it. surfk9 and Primus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfk9 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Dave .. an often discussed topic... my first question would be your price point... low end suggestion would obviously be the S waver... a bait that I personally have good success... not having any experience either RM or Ganctaft I can’t speak of them ... the Deps I’ve had success with also .. in addition to price point the water & size of fish present ( ie. Right coast largies versus Left coast ... ) plays into your selection Good luck ... michel... Go Fish!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolunteerSwimbaits Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 S-Waver for sure, unless you are looking to spend more, then the nego for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass the east Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Cant speak of the 230 but I’ve had a lot of success with my gan craft 178. Though there is a problem with them taking on water and I heard the same with the 230. Not sure if they fixed the issue but may want to look into it.

GrantA Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Negotiator as the bait straight gets chewed and it's a good bait to gain confidence. Durability on it is garbage yet fish dont care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 I have a Jointed Claw 230 courtesy of @Nick S. and love using it in open water and around docks! I've yet to actually stick a fish on it, but it's a very overlooked glide in my opinion and you can find very good deals here on SU to acquire one.

MDBowhunter Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Nego all the way, 250s are awesome and have great drawing power but Negotiators just get bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Deps 250s are great baits and the 175 size gets bit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amistoad Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Don’t overlook Rago Glideators too. Not super pricey and they glide beautifully. Lots of action you can impart to them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
