bros winning at life.
Great video bro! Sub earned!
I bought a big PFrog Shad on a drop in 2022 and never fished it bcuz I couldn’t get it to run true. It rolls like crazy.
I hope you know there are baits that come tuned for either gliding or cutting, and some like trick shads, can do both. Don't think it's fair if you have expectations for a lure to cut when it's setup to glide. You will have to tune it.
Do you have a favorite glide you like to throw when there is a little current like in a small river? I river fish for stripers in SC and I find some of the glides don't do well when current hits them from the side.
Hey Austin what size line do you like throwing the boss on?
What color and glide would you throw at Table Rock?
Man I can't wait until my glide is completed. Been working on it a long time, caught some good northern largies, and it can do all the cadences. Slow, fast, tight, and wide.
What is your go to size on lead wire? Thanks
Have you ever thrown a Predators Glide, if so, what your thought on them.
KGB REBORN THE BEST EVER and I had all the baits your throwing. The phoney is great not a chop glide I use a slower 6:3:1 and chop salad using my rod and reel to glide that. The bucca chops well. The hinkle was meh for the price it should of clearly blown all out the water. Great video but the kgb reborn hands down best I ever used.
Cant see a damn thing on the action 😂 go to a pool at least
That clutch is fantastic, love mine!!
Have you tried the Clutch Eco glide? I ordered one today.
Awesome video! Beside taking the pin out and rotating the circles, how do you tune the bait? I have several phoneys and a clutch boss that need tuning but I dont have a system. I just keep messing with it until it looks right which I'm sure theres a better way.
Since I watched your video, I have a question. Glidebaits and swimbaits may have a "fuzzy" line between performance and some folks may define one from the other a little differently.
It appears to me that you are retrieving your lures "swimbait" style… i.e. burning and chopping. Glidebaits are retrieved pull, pause, pull, pause, short distances and the left to swim wide left or right as they glide.
I am a hobbyist lure maker and have made both style lures from wood.
My question: How do you define a glidebait and a swimbait, and do you see them as different style lures?
Thanks for the review. I've always found Hinkle to be over priced and have only recently been made aware of Clutch… which is also a little rich for my blood. In fact, the price of commercially available lure is one reason I make my own. 😉
Awesome educational video thank you. Idea for budget friendly guys. How about your favorite glides and big swim baits under 100 bucks. Us beginners need some ideas how to get into big bait fishing without breaking the bank.
Great video! Did you see the 9lb 10oz largemouth caught at Lake Jocassee last Thurs. evening?
Too bad the glare on the water made it hard to see the actions
WRONG Trick shad is an 8.2 minimum. Unsubscribing
Well atleast you had a business, i hust did it out of pocket just bc lmao
Thanks for going over glidebaits. I really like these videos. Do you know when Cedar Cliff boat ramp will open?
