chevro1et Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Haven't personally fished one, but the Baitsanity Explorer checks a lot of boxes for you. Luke_264 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say this--haven't fished one either, but Matt Allen of Tactical Bassin recommends it, and I'll take his word for it.

Mossypumpkin Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Prob that price and size....gancraft 230 or a Maven. Not easy to find a maven but the swim is very 250ish Primus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumoNinja Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 +1 on the baitsanity explorer. Has a really nice glide. It can be made to glide far to the sides with rod twitches and reel turns. Sinks a little faster than a deps 250 but I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a less expensive big glide Primus and 253caster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I haven’t fished everything, I’ve fished a lot of the baits on the market. But I am quite picky in certain ways. For a longer more slender trout style profile, my favorite is baitsanity hands down. I used to fish deps 250s and sold them when I fell in love with baitsanitys have had so much success with them. Throw price out the window I still prefer them over a 250. Now for what your looking for with size and price wise, for a Shad profile the hinkle and phones are great options but with you trying to stay under 100 I hear many many guys talk great about the golden swimbaits Shad glide, personally I really really like the Magnum (9”) savage gear shine glide. The 7” has its issues mainly with “Helicoptering” while casting but they fixed that with the 9” and I have fell I love with that bait as well. and to add onto that. My recommendation would be to grab a baitsanity explorer for $70 new or $50 on the black market. And a SG mag shine glide for 30 and you’d be at or under your price range with 2 very good baits.

I do like the colors on the magnum shine glide and that probably will be a valid options for me. My main probably with the baitsanity is how heavy it is and my swimbait setup maxes out at about 5 ozs and throwing that heavy of a lure might risk it. But this is great help thank you very much!
