Glide baits have a reputation as a finicky, expensive big-bait deal, but in this tournament class guest pro Bobby Bakewell breaks down exactly how he uses them to catch big bass when nothing else will draw a bite.Brian and Bobby cover how to find glide-bait water by reading forage instead of cover, why every fish will at least come look at a big glide (and why so few actually eat it), and how to choose the right bait by its body shape and glide. You will learn the difference between wide-slow and short-choppy glides, how to keep a bait from blowing out, and how to tune the action with the eyebolt pin or added weight.Bobby also walks through his full setup: the 8-foot parabolic rod, the reel, and 20-25 lb fluorocarbon, and why braid and broomstick rods cost you fish. Plus where to start affordably, how to steer a glide under a dock, and a Q&A on line-through swimbaits, brim glides, and tidal water.Whether you are glide-curious or ready to commit, this one shows you how to make the bait earn its place on your deck.Baits Mentioned:Clutch Swimbait Co.
