I'm sorry! I bought the 794 and 795 Dobyns swimbait rods. They are nice!
nice setup gramps👊🏽
I appreciate the shout out buddy! I think I clarified on the stream, that one I made is a wakebait. Thanks man!
That looks good for hand made
Like you, I am new this season to the big swim baits/glide baits but from the bank. Cant wait to really do this from the Yak. Tight lines Gramps!
how is that rod with the long handle why u are sitting in the kayak i think it would be a bit awkward to cast and retrieve?
Also want to add my setup imx 966 25lb cxx and a cheep diawa 300 . Baitsanity glide have been good for the price and savage gear rtf baits are great too.
Just spent 200 on a phony shad lol😂
Use half and quarter reel turns. Rod twitches will do the trick to.
Gramps you need to put those spros to work. They slay bud. Caught my pb on the spro version back in July. 24in 9.2lb largemouth. Think of that bait as a spook. That's how you want to fish it, around rip rap banks, docks, and lay downs. I promise you'll have success. 👍
That's not a glide bait. It's a multi joint swimmer from brandon
Just got my first glide bait and it’s the KGB Chad Shad Gizzzard Shad color. Have not thrown it yet but anxious to give it a try.
Best of luck! Let us know when ya get that PB.
I have been using the spro chad shad it has been getting beat up from the bass.
That's a very nice bait you got set there from Brendan, but just wanted to let you know that the bait he sent isn't a "glide bait". It's a larger "jointed swimbait" with a bill. It remind me of a Triple Trout, which is a popular bait. That said, the actual Chad Shad is indeed a "glide bait". I only mention this just for your awareness since you mentioned you are new to the big bait game – jointed swimbaits and glide baits fish quite differently in how you work them. Good luck on the larger baits!
J.T. I would definitely recommend that on the retrieve you are reeling sparaticly !! Be consistently inconsistent. lol 😂
Definitely baby stepping my way into fishing bigger glides and swimbaits . Wish I could offer any tips or tricks but I’m still learning. Try throwing a Spro Rat for those smallies . They hit it like it owes them money !! You’ll be addicted
Yes Brendon is 18 bro. And i agree that young man knows so much and does great work. Just wished i could afford one of his baits. I dont own any glides or even big swimbaits yet lol they are pricey for the most part and out my budget but…. i found some blanks i can get and paint so thinking thats the route for me.
Interesting. Bronze backs are extremely addictive. So much fun!
Big swim/glide baits are a fun thing to throw. I got into it after I got tired of every other style of fishing. I like all types and styles of fishing and sometimes I just want to go throw big swimmers to see if a monster is out there. I have a few chad shad and they work great. Also have plenty of cheap Chinese glides that work great with a little tuning. It's honestly just another thing to fiddle with and waste money on lol. Once you actually catch a big pig on a glide, you will be hooked forsure.
That's all I've been throwing the past month and the ignite pray bait from American legacy! New to me this yr also but when they hit the bait it's almost better than a frog blowup
Gramps I think that bait is like a crank down wake style bait.
I’m starting to dip my toe into the swim bait niche, but waiting to purchase a dedicated set up in case I can’t stand it. Lol.
