Learn This Glide Bait Theory to Catch More Bass
Спорт
I spent some time just sharing my insights on glide bait theory on a fishing trip in early summer. On this trip, I was learning the SPRO KGB Chad Shad [BUY HERE] as it was my first day throwing that new mass produced version of the Chad Shad around boat docks. I am familiar with the original Chad Shad from KGB but hadn't had a chance until recently to fish the new SPRO KGB Collaboration Chad Shad.

So this was just my first full day throwing it and learning what it does well and not so well and then focusing its strengths on catching fish.
A big part of glide bait fishing requires fishing the swimbaits and learning what the baits do well and where they struggle. Things like figuring out if they look good on a slow steady retrieve or a fast burning retrieve. Do they look good when you chop your reel handle? Do they look good when you twitch your rod tip? What does a big pull and throwing the line back at the bait do? Will it turn around like that? Does it want to roll or flip when you come out of a turn? Where is the sweet spot on speed with each bait?
As you learn all of this with your glide baits, then you can be more efficient with not only how you fish that bait, but which bait you might want to pick up for how you think the fish are reacting.
I also shared some insight on one of the rods I use a lot that I helped design with my friends at Jenko. They were very gracious with working with me to design a rod that was built for a specific purpose that I felt was somewhat of a hole in swimbait rods. And that was having a rod that kept big treble hooks in the fish on the fight. Similar to how a square bill rod keeps a shallow plug in the bass's mouth and keeps you from tearing the treble hooks out on the fight.
I talked nuances like what it is about glide baits that I think makes fish bite them. And what I learned on several trips like one crazy trip in Oklahoma where we found a big school of largemouth bass roaming suspended offshore and they were following jerkbaits and small swimbaits, but when I asked to throw a glide bait, the fishing got nuts. Those bass were reacting to the bait like they were being challenged by it and the bites were savage. We boated multiple 20-pound limits on the glide bait. And since I've learned that a bass feels challenged by a big swimbait, it's what is always going through my mind when I work a bib swimbait now. Am I challenging a bass to attack my lure?

Thank you Jason! I really appreciate your insight and candid discussion on glide baits.
Soft tip I've found to be a must for maximum action out of a glide too. That and at least a 7.3.1 gear ratio.
I totally agree with the feeling challenged thing. When you get that good 180 and you turn back and face that fish that’s tracking you, oh he don’t like that.
Great video and the glide bait is amazing 👏👏❤️

I use my Fred roumbanis swimbait rod which is rated up to 2 oz for my s waver 168 and my jackall ganteral jrs. It’s got that perfect parabolic bend. Considered a medium heavy moderate action. I haven’t lost a fish that I’ve hooked up with yet on it!
The savant is an awesome shad bait rod, I love mine. The hooks that come on the chadshad’s are decent but the points roll over easy

Thanks! Yeah the hooks need to be changed fairly early. I keep a file in my travel bag for that reason.
I was eye-ballin my 7'9" Fury n box of glides just now..I got a 300 power handle on top; 20lb Sniper ; but can't seem to get my retrieve down to actually go "trophy huntin". Hit me with a lesson,Ol @HeavyGator!! GTSY out on the water man! You have my attention & ready to scratch down some notes..#bassfishing #glidebaits #trophybass
Man the way you hold the fish between two trebles gives me goosebumps and PTSD
I bought one of these in a Threadfin color even though we don't have threadfin in my lakes but the color of it looks like tons of different bait fish so don't limit yourself on colors because that threadfin color don't only look like a threadfin it looks like about any bait fish
I hope to get my chad shad from TW. I prepaid for it. We shall see

a peice of yellow electrical tape above the head helps make it easier to track, also.

Really old Xpress that is kept outside and used on small lakes by a friend.
I love glide baits. Just don’t have confidence in it.

It just takes one good day with it. I tell guys to just go one day in the spring when the fish are shallow and throw it all day long and see how many fish show themselves. And then play with retrieves.
Wished I could my hands on one

I think the next wave is about to hit. So should start showing up in a lot of retailers again.
Long time no see. I thought you gave up on the bass and started pan fishing.

Howdy! Yeah bass fishing got pretty tough on the home lake so had to find some other fish that would bite. 😂 But bass are coming back now. I don’t film as much anymore, as I’m usually in the backroom working on the site or working on biz ops stuff. But Im trying to film a little more now. Be more bass stuff this fall. Got a creek smallmouth video coming soon.

@@Wired2Fish if he’s referring to me I use P-Line CXX or Gamma Polyflex. No braid either. No trolling motor problems either. I still use an old fashioned hand control motor. Pretty reliable. Those fancy trolling motors are out of my budget. Still running 2D sonar also.

Enough talk and put the fish back in the water! 😔
