Using a bait casting rather than a spinning reel? Interesting.
Big glide baits work amazing up here inbthe north east for big striped bass.
I don't have a lot of glide bait experience but he's rite, everytime I turn the bait around to look at the fish it spooks them
that glide bait sucks
This is gonna be my first full season swimbaiting, that 6+ will be mine soon
Talk too much less action.just like the PBB or NATO.its No Action Talk Only
Every time I watch one of your videos about something, I take away a bunch of other tips on other things that I was not clear on. Thanks a lot bud!!!
Keeps it simple, KISS
Love seeing Chris using the tried and true Greenie, Curado 300E or 301E



Excellent tutorial and explanation of how to get the best action for big bites. Appreciate this video a lot.
Funny thing. Every time I saw people with those baits and looked at the price I would be like. Pffft whatever. But they do catch fish.
How are you getting those treble hooks to stay tucked up along the lure like that?
How do you fish that glide bait in thought weeds
I always wondered with glide baits, can you reel it in at a steady speed without pauses or does the action not work like that
….ans some of these cost more than your rod and reel. Even the cheap ones cost 25-50 dollars. Yes, you read it right, 25-50 dollars and that's the low end.
What retrieve ratio do you prefer ?
EMJAY…..Ikr
Great video
I haven't really seen a baitfish slowly lumbering side to side either but I get the point. ; ) Keep em coming Chris.
this is a great video, lot of good info here
I just started using swim bait lures very similar to these and have had reasonable luck with them. My next swim bait lures Im going to try are the jbg00ds live strike fishing lures. Theyre damned natural, you can get them without or with Owner trebles.
If you want the their page, just google jbg00ds Live Strike Lures
Great vid as always. I too never understood why people say when the bait does a 180, bass cant stand it. Thats the most ridiculous marketing pitch for these glide baits. You'll never see a shad or a bluegill do a 180 on a bass, unless it already got half eaten.
how do you get your hooks to lay back like that and stay in place
Finally: someone who thinks like me about glide baits!
I only use the reel too. If you use the rod to twitch it's easy to twitch more than you should and the hooks will catch the line… The bait can move unnaturally too. I usually reel steadily and slow, specially in colder water, and then I do some quick 1/4 or 1/2 turns of the reel handle to make it change direction and glide. If I want it to glide more I'll give some slack by moving the rod/reel forward just a bit. In the summer I'm doing the quick reel handle turns almost all the time and do less steady retrieves. While I fish it I always have my rod in a horizontal position and pointed at the bait while holding the rod handle under my arm/armpit, so I have more power to set the hook. That way I'm always ready to set the hook with a sweeping motion to the side while I rotate my body to the side at the same time. About the fish turning to face the bass: I don't agree with that too! Prey don't do that. Bass strike a glide bait when it does that because it changes direction like a baitfish trying to escape! And that triggers a reaction from the bass because it doesn't want it to escape! It's like when you play with a cat: you're moving something away from the cat and he stares at it… When you suddenly move it quickly away he attacks it quickly! It's their instinct. So, with a nice and quick glide to the side you can have the same or better results than when you make the lure "face the bass".
BEING YOUR FANS, LOVE YOUR WORK, KEEP UPLOADING.
I just have a hard time buying the 110(jerk bait) at $25! I would cry so hard if i lost this bait!!1
Nice I love this video
Great info. I've fishing soft plastic swimbaits for a while and I'm getting into the glides this year.
hmm. Invisx? I bought 20 AbrasX after reading a Butch Brown article
Hope it works for me this spring!! Yaay! 
What kind of ratio would be the best for glide baits
