HOW TO TUNE YOUR GLYDE
Step one
Pull the pin
Step one
Pull the pin
The pin runs through the joint and holds the two resin sections together. It is meant to come out: with the tail section off, the eyebolts are exposed and the whole tune happens from there. The pin goes back in the same way when you are done.
Step two
Turn the eyebolts
Step two
Turn the eyebolts
The eyebolts set the gap between the two sections, and the gap sets how far the tail section can swing. Turned in, the bait glides wide with hang time between turns. Backed out, it walks tight and quick. Turn both eyebolts the same amount, a half turn at a time.
Step three
Get bit

Get bit
Drop the pin back in and fish it. The GLYDE leaves the pack already tuned to chop, glide and swim, so this is not about fixing anything — it is about moving it toward one of the three.
In saltwater it sinks slowly and pauses on a burn-and-stop like a lifelike fish. Freshwater sinks it faster; lighter gauge hooks slow the sink rate back down if desired.
Pro tip
Count your half turns
Pro tip
Count your half turns
The count of half turns is the only record of a tune. Written down, a setup that worked on a given day takes a minute to rebuild. Without it, finding that same walk again means starting from the beginning.
Common questions
Questions we get about the GLYDE.
If yours is not here, call or text us and we will answer it.
Does the GLYDE come ready to fish?
Yes. Every GLYDE ships rigged with BKK Viper 1/0 trebles and already dialed in for chop, glide and swim. The eyebolts are there for when you want something different, not because the bait needs fixing.
What does turning the eyebolts actually change?
How far the tail section can swing. Turned in, the bait glides wide with hang time between turns. Backed out, it walks tight and quick. Work in half turns, the same amount on both eyebolts. The joint never locks solid, which is what keeps the bait alive on the pause.
Can I get it back to the way it arrived?
Count your half turns on the way out and reverse them on the way back.
Can I fish it in freshwater?
It comes saltwater-ready, where the resin body sinks slowly on the pause. In freshwater the same bait sinks faster, so lighter-gauge hooks bring the sink rate back down if desired.
What rod does it want?
Three ounces on an eight-inch body needs a rod with enough tip to move the bait and enough backbone to drive a treble home. The Revolution Inshore 8'0" casting rod, rated 20–40 lb, does both.
Is the tail replaceable?
Yes. The tail is extra-tough silicone and comes off the bait without tearing.
