Baitsanity *BroomWalker GT* Unboxing – HONEST Review & First Impressions

Tips N Tricks June 2, 2025 5 views

In this video, I unbox the Baitsanity BroomWalker GT and give my honest first impressions of this big glidebait. I compare it to a few other popular topwater/subsurface baits like the Musky Mania 9″ Doc and the Joe Baggs Skipper, breaking down what makes the BroomWalker unique.

I also go over the recommended setup for throwing this bait, including rod, reel, and line suggestions. I personally use a 7’10” Heavy or Extra Heavy swimbait rod paired with a high gear ratio 300 or 400 size reel, and spool up with 100 lb braid—though 65 or 80 lb are also solid options depending on your preference and target species.

If you’re thinking about adding the BroomWalker GT to your striper or big bait arsenal, this video is a great place to start!
