Grizzn n bassin Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Anybody see these glide baits ? Was checking out TW and saw them definitely have a good price tag on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
168 Rookie Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Made of leather/snakeskin/alligator skin or something, like $600? I saw those in the BM here maybe last year, I always wondered does anyone actually fish it or are they just collection pieces. Then Googled and found a site talking about how you've gotta let it dry after every session, the water does something to the leather etc. Still not sure if it's truly to be fished or what.

The owner of manifold makes super high end hand made wallets and bags and happens to be into big baits and combined the two. Theres a few articles I found a few years back while looking at em. crazy line tie options and set ups. swimbaitingthe229, 168 Rookie and Grizzn n bassin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basssavage24/7 Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I wanted one been looking at the spec 440. There stage 0 thru 3 I dont understand what there saying but in the pics it seems Pitch and awe at different angles. 0 being completely horizontal. also I dont know what the difference is between the pa vs the de? Like is one a floater vs a slow sink. Because I saw some that float and others seem to be more of a slow sink type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little to complicated for me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little to complicated for me tho I checked them out on tw. Definitely a lot of craftsmanship and a very unique bait. But I couldn’t tell you if it’s worth $400-$500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
