Favorite Glide Baits

I currently run phantoms and squirko's. I know there are a ton of baits out there so I was interested in what people think and why yjey like the ones they have.

Squirko for life.

Nothing moves fish for me like a manta.

Muskie Treats, Mag Treats, H2O Nitro. Wood only on my string.

I haven't tried a whole lot of glide baits but when I do its usually a phantom soft tail. I also like using a manta once in a while, but it's like chucking a bowling pin. My new favorite is a sidewinder. It's an amazing bait that has a ton of action. I really think it will keep on being one of my go to lures, it's a little different than a traditional side to side glide bait but I'm getting better with it each time out.

Hi all Glide baits are a fickle thing. I've owned dozens of Cobb's baits. I've weeded through some and found a few that are dynamite.

I don't throw glide baits all that often but when I do I use a Stinger by fatazmusky products. They have 3 hooks where as most glide baits I have seen only have two. I get a pretty good hookup ratio comparatively. Here is a pic of a nice one a client got on a Stinger.

Undertakers produce in my boat. Phantoms used to, but not so much recently. I think they are thrown a lot and fish are conditioned to them. I have a few customs from a guy that are great. No one throws them and they just get drilled.

Got a few customs that are my favorites. But I like Mantas, and phantoms too. Hard to beat a reef hawg if you got one that you can get to work. Bomber has some smaller ones that I bought this past spring. Good action but questionable hooks...but that's easy fix.

H2O and Eddie baits.

Phantoms, Hell Hounds, and Mantas are my favorites. Unfortunately I do get a lot of fish that roll on them and never even hit the lure, but it is fun to watch!

DDDs for their versatility. Don't let the lip fool you, it's a glide bait.
