Collection: Glide Baits

Glide baits are a type of hard-bodied fishing lure designed to mimic the swimming action of baitfish. These baits have a unique side-to-side gliding motion when retrieved, which can be very effective in triggering predatory fish to strike. They are typically larger and come in various shapes and sizes, often featuring realistic paint jobs and detailed finishes to enhance their appeal to fish.

The action of a glide bait can be controlled by the angler through the rod's movement, allowing for different cadences and pauses, which can make the lure appear more lifelike. Glide baits are especially popular among anglers targeting larger freshwater species such as muskie, pike, and bass. Due to their size and realistic movement, they can be particularly effective in clear water where fish rely heavily on sight to hunt.

When selecting a glide bait, it's important to consider the type of water you're fishing in, the local forage fish, and the specific species you're targeting. Proper rod and reel setup is also crucial for effectively working these baits, as they require precise control to maximize their enticing action.
