The new Megabass I-Slide 187 R is a revision of the previous model, the I-Slide 185. Megabass redisgned the bait to be fished different and be more appealing to the average glide bait fisherman. Today, I go over why this glide bait might just be my new favorite!

7:20 what colorway is that one? Thanks!
Love the Big Bait Videos!! Curious has the Brand of Fluorocarbon you use! Cause i think that can make a difference also. With the different diameters in the line companies. Thanks Again for the Videos!!
Hey goeff, I got the new Islide I’ve been fishing it for a few days now an trying to figure out if it’s better to use a snap swivel , split ring or nothing at all ?
I tried using a snap swivel but it seem to give the bait that old nose down style action . Any suggestions?
I know it's for bass but do think it would fish ok with braid and a lite wire leader for Pike n Musky
Does shaving the front of the joint down with a dremel tool make the Gancraft 178 glide better? Or should I just try downsizing my line from 20lb flourocarbon leader?
Nice to hear people talk about the Mark 56. Feel like I have t heard much since it’s release 6 months ago. I personally love the Rod. It will throw a 6” mag draft as well as a 3oz glide. It’s just the perfect rod for those lighter swimbaits. You can throw it all day and it’s like you’re fishing any other rod
The old version definitely swam different than my other glides, but i thought it was a good thing.
Its not slide swimmer, or arashi, dont treat it like those and you might have success too
I been fishing it a little…I haven't caught anything…but I'm new to glide baits…
Dude your killin it, trophy bass, call them little 🔥 I know your into some bucket-mouths
i thought i was the only one who thought that the islide187 just didnt glide that well…guess i was wrong lol. Fished it a few time and it just kept blowing out and not swim/glide right…i had to put them away..and havent used them since…kind of glad they made new versions. Definitely going to buy the new ones .
I really liked the OG 185 floating. You had to work it with the rod tip. Treat it more like a jerkbait. It had a nice erratic unpredictable action. Why better than the Tiny Klash. To me it makes no sense to have 10 gliders in my box that do all the same trick (smooth wide glide). Waste of money and opportunities.
GUY!!!! We dont have any questions!!!.. you answered everything! outstanding presentation!!
Thank you for the run down.
Did the trebles, being magnetized to the body, affect the center of gravity, and/or the action of the lure? Might be cool if magnets could be placed so a hook could go front or back, creating different ballasting options for a better glide or chop.
It doesn’t look like that when I fish it….I need some practice!!
What size are the hooks on a kgb Chad shad??? I can’t find this is info anywhere, and the first time I used my Chad a 3 lber ate it and bent the hooks😅 need replacements! Any one know what size please lemme know
Get in there Geoff!!!!
Is that a good suwitch rod?
Cool!!
I'm not nearly as experienced as you with big swimbaits. I've only been throwing them just under 3 years now. But I absolutely agree about lighter line! I use 14-16lb on all my swimbaits except the largest 9-10" baits. Then I'll jump up to 20lb. I've never used anything above 20 & that's only for the biggest & heaviest baits I have. Always have better action with lighter line regardless what baits your throwing. & more bites…
That mat shad color looks great I filled down the backside of front half of the bait at the hinge with my old versions makes them glide way tighter/choppy. Just can't file down into the body of course. I would like to check out the new ones
If magnets warded off the fish the magdraft wouldn’t be as popular as it is. People give the fish too much credit. They aren’t stupid but they sure are dumb
Thank you for the review, and I didn’t know there an (R) update and the swimming action looks tighter,thank you Geoffrey 🔥🔥❤️
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Get that Pike color out and put it to work.
What about tequila baccarat
things gonna get BIT! just got mine, looking forward to throwin it this weekend
Thats why a lot of people including myself ground down the joints on the I-slide 185 and gancrafts cause it just gave the bait a more level glide almost similar to a chad shad really but. I know not many people are gonna do that to a $50+ dollar bait sometimes. So this could be a good option.
What’s your thoughts on the MegaDraft Ayu Twitcher
You running a snap on it?
I bought 3 of the colors and love these new baits!!! I did the same as you with a 1gm suspend dot and it’s puuuurrfect!!
Pulls out a 4 pounder and says nice little guy
