The glide bait

Tune it. Then get bit.

Most glide baits arrive tuned once, at the factory, and that is the action you are stuck with. The GLYDE does not. Back out the eyebolts for a tight, straight weave. Screw them in for a long glide and hang time. Count your turns and the bait is yours.

The numbers

Built to a spec. Tuned to a mood.

Everything on the left is fixed. Everything on the right is yours to change.

The spec

  • 8" body
  • 3 oz
  • 250# rated wire-thru head design
  • BKK Viper treble hooks
  • Extra-tough replaceable silicone tail
  • Comes with tracers to track your GLYDE in the water

Designed for inshore saltwater. If the sink rate is too fast for freshwater, change the hooks and split rings for lighter hardware.

The tune

  1. Step one

    Using pliers, firmly grasp the pin and wiggle it out of there.

  2. Step two

    Screw each eyebolt in 180° at a time — or screw each eyebolt out.

  3. Step three

    Get bit.

Pro tip

Count your turns

Eyebolts in

Longer glides and hang time.

Eyebolts out

Tighter chops, or a tighter straight weave.

Turn the eyebolts and the two halves sit closer or further apart. Closer gives a tight, quick walk. Further gives a wide, lazy glide with hang time between turns.

They never lock solid — there is always play at the joint, which is what keeps the bait alive on the pause.

Field proof

Real water. Real fish.

Every fish below was caught on a GLYDE. No studio tanks, no stock photos.

Third cast. Tuned the eyebolts two turns in for a longer glide and it got crushed on the pause. The wire-thru held up to a fish that would have straightened anything else in my box.
