mofish Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Thinking about a small glide bait for my son. Trying to decide a Megabass I slide 135 and a gan Craft 178 claw. Any preferences and colors? Edited April 23, 2020 by mofish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxd12 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 get the golden gremlin! super easy to work. and works on a straight retrieve better than the other 2 you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Weruso Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Those two baits are a bit different. The Gan craft is a true glide whereas the I Slide takes a little more work from the fisherman to impart action. Just IMO 168 Rookie, mofish, CaliBassin and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing in a third option though...if you can, grab a DEPS 145/175 as I found it much easier to fish than the previous 2.

Just IMO I second this--Youtube "Oliver Ngy I-Slide" , you'll notice he uses a ton of rod movements to impart action on this bait, more than I've seen for most other glides. Almost like he's fishing a big jerkbait. mofish and El_Weruso 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Weruso Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) @mofish If you're son uses a spinning outfit, the gan craft will be better. It's something he can do a nice slow reel with and it'll do it's thing (gliding) If he's older and knows how to fish then either will work if he's willing to work the bait (The I slide) Edited April 23, 2020 by El_Weruso mofish and 168 Rookie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofish Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Would a dobyns 795 handle these baits ( just got him one for his birthday.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll handle the 178 easily (2 oz), although the rod is a little more stiff than is needed for the i slide (1oz) but he can get away with it just fine. mofish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
