chefchris Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 i had and fished a number of the hinkle shads, nice bait, some seemed to swim/sink better than others. stuck some nice NE bass on em. sold em all when the demand and prices were stupid high the rafa shad glide is a killer underrated bait, swims from a crawl to super fast and doesn't blow out. prices are great too lately been fishing the hiroshima 7.5 shad glide, action is awesome, had a big follower come out and chase it down 1st cast the other day, it tried to eat it but grabbed it from the top, got to watch the whole thing go down, but no hook up.

Bass_blaster Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I don’t throw a ton of Shad glides but one that I love is my Texoma workhorse. I feel like the size, color (and there are tons of others) , stability of the bait, and action are all great. ajaustin44 and BOZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgebaiter Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) JSJ siren is an impressive glide. The one I got is silky smooth, perfectly balanced too. I’ve got a gold/silver pattern ,but I wish I’d gotten that white/chartreuse version he came out with.

browniez Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Many I haven’t tried, but HPH 8”, Phoney, and Paperweight for me. Take my advice with salt cause I fish current almost exclusively. Pros/Cons IMO: HPH - Pros: Runs deeper than others, finish durability is awesome, and allows for input to trigger fish. Unique belly roll action that triggers when others won’t. Cons: Lack of a Matte style finish option for cloudy days and every once in awhile the action seems like it turns fish off. Phoney - Pros: Extremely fluid action that just gets bit, profile, and durability. Cons: I’ve never had 2 swim the same. One was the best glide I’ve ever owned and one nosed down. The other two were in between. Paperweight - Pros: “jerky” bait that demands but allows input. The action has great “hang” and gets absolutely killed. Cuts through current extremely well. Priced well. Cons: Does not get deep. Variability in weight (~2-3 grams, fine if you tune your baits but some don’t), durability of tail fibers.
