RoyalK Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Just wondering what adhesive visibility strips you guys use on your glide baits. Really focusing on getting my tempo down and want to get some strips that won't constantly peel off in the water. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle1387 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Silver sharpie is what I use on my 250s. Looks more natural and is easy to see in clear water. Plus it doesn't stay on well so you can rub it off really easily if you don't like it marc626 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySouthGlide Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 I went to lurepartsonline.com and bought waterproof self sticking lure tape. It comes in 6x2 inch ish sheets. Bought an exacto knife and make whatever size/shape I want for whatever bait. Even got some glow in the dark for night baits. The stuff is great and doesn’t come off but when you do want it off no sticky mess left behind. Super thin too. Unclefish4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolley Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 I’ve never fished a glide but just bought one. Should be getting the workhorse soon. Looking forward to trying it. What’s the news for this kind of modification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxd12 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 @Kyearsley makes and sells them, also can make custom sizes. He made these for my ghost. DirtySouthGlide, aholodnick, Samlep and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna go cheap (i.e. free) you can just use one of your wife's bright fingernail polishes--no need to pay for and wait on fancy stickers (the hot pink below shows up awesome).

buzzed bait Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 i've got some of the swimbait accessories ones myself, but this is another legit option if you're in a pinch or want to just try them out.... 168 Rookie and Jinxd12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browniez Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I just tape off the rest of the bait and spray paint a white vis strip on top. That does hurt resale/trade but that isn’t a concern for me. Edited August 4, 2020 by browniez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogers954 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I found these through a post on swimbait universe that a guy named Dan Carter sales they were $5 a sheet. He had like 6 colors to choose from and it might be hard to see but they are pe-cut into multiple shapes. Haven’t had a chance to try yet but they seem to be of really good quality and I’m pretty sure he said they are 3m material.

ikaika Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I bought some DOT-C2 reflective tape on Amazon, about $7 for a 2"x12ft roll. The one I got has alternating 6" sections of red and white (they have high-viz yellow as well), so I just used scissors and cut narrow strips for the baits I wanted. So far it's held up to multiple fish and hasn't peeled up at all, and didn't leave any residue on the paint when I removed it to check. I precut some replacement strips in case one comes off, but so far haven't needed to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
