- Once a niche lure category, glide baits have become productive mainstream swimbaits for bass anglers looking for bites and those chasing giants alike. Wired2fish contributor, Nick Smith of the Informative Fisherman (wired2.fish/InformativeFisher..., dives deep into the topic of why, how, and when to use glide baits. Through the process, he instills the confidence to use glide baits to catch numbers of bass, big bass, and perhaps most importantly, learn where the big ones live.

While effective at catching fish, glide baits also excel at revealing where big fish live; they exhibit a wide side-to-side "S" motion on the retrieve that bass can't resist inspecting. Like musky fishing, following bass reveal where they live and allow you to build high-percentage milk runs. You can then try coaxing bites through retrieve changes and bait experimentation, or try catching them using different tactics altogether.
Smith shares some important boat positioning and casting angle principles. Long, parallel casts are ideal for keeping the bait in the strike zone, which then affords you to experiment with different retrieves ranging from slow and steady, steady with kick-outs to the side, or full-on freestyle. Smith explains how to do each to appeal to the broadest mood range of fish possible.
Lastly, Smith shares a wealth of information related to gear selection ranging from the right bait, rod setup, the benefit of upgrading to braided treble hooks, and his favorite glide bait for both performance and affordability.

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
This guy needs to teach bass fishing at every college in the US!!! What a teacher, very enjoyable to listen to!!
🙏🏽 thank you
The 9" magnum glide in "crappie" is 1 of the best looking lures I've seen....."white bass" color in the 7 and/or 9" would be a game changer, on certain lakes!
I have the magnum glide just don’t have a rod big enough
Haha that little dog was having an exciting time!
Also keep a weightless fluke or dropshot near by. Great follow up baits for a big follower who won't bite 👌
Yep!
5:19 that bite was so satisfying
Nick @ informative fisherman is the man. Awesome video. Great footage, great shots. Appreciate it guys. Been a fan a long time. Keep it up.
Right on, really appreciate it D_Anderson. We really enjoyed the content too, thought it was a great primer for folks getting into glides. Worth putting the extra production value behind Nick's instruction.
Love this whole video. Great breakdown of glide baits and gear.
I like that he's rocking a kastking reel. No breaking the bank with that gear means you can actually afford a glide bait
Truth 👆🏼
You don't need to break the bank on Glides. The SG Shine Glide performs excellently and is affordable too.
Great video! My set up ; 8’6” irod extra heavy mag paired up with an Okuma Citrix 364. Killer set up for those who don’t want to break the bank! Also, Savage Gear has some unreal swimbaits at incredible prices!🎣
Couldn't have a more knowledgeable Fisherman for this subject, I'll keep saying it wired 2 fish the truth 💯💯🔥🔥
Thanks Albert, Nick really laid out a wealth of knowledge in this video. Should serve as an excellent resource for those looking to learn. Thanks for tuning in.
Thanks bro
This guy was really enjoyable to listen to. Seems nice, informative, and just pleasant :)
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we thought the content and delivery was superb. Nick is a heck of a nice guy to boot! Check out his channel --> wired2.fish/InformativeFisherman
For real, I live in Florida I will probably never throw one but he’s nice to listen to
I’m blushing 😆
Thought the exact same....very well spoken! 👍
His channels great!
Great video, great information and well presented!
Nick is awesome! Oh and he’s from Cali , represent !
Very educational and well spoken.... you are a natural teacher. I picked up a lot of useful information and I know it will help my glide bait game... Thank You!!! 👍
We appreciate knowing this content resonated with you Brian. Best fishing luck to you in 2021.
Thanks man
Great video Nick!
"I've been fishing glide baits for several years now and Dude knows his craft,he doing everything I do and I get bit on them all year long,and you don't have to spend tons of money doing it,Great Job Brother"
When do you fish them
Great information guys. I do appreciate it.
We appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Great Tips!! Best I've Seen On Glides 🎣
Thanks a bunch. We genuinely appreciate it.
The California Delta Slayer is back Folks ! Let’s go !
Nick Knows Gliding ✊😎🎣🙌
Yes, yes he does. Cool for him to share some epic big fish b-roll with us.
Awesome job giving some insight on a technique that I have wanted to learn….. thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Swim baits are fire!
Excellent information! Thank you for doing this!
Glad it was helpful Mark, Nick was a wealth of knowledge.
@@Wired2Fish I may actually give that a try again. I own a couple of Glide baits but I had no idea what I was doing and couldn't catch a cold.
Probably the best bass instructional video I’ve ever seen. You definitely got me wanting to try a glide bait. Thank you.
Really appreciate this comment Michael. Motivates us to stick with creating some long-form content.
Very helpful video thank you 🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful!
Great video fishing is all I do or think about and I watch your vids a lot I have some vids myself I am kid just looking to learn 😃
The squad rods are legit. My whole rod line up are those now. Love them
Great info
Thanks Brandon, we appreciate Nick delivering the goods in this one! Glide baiting is a unique tactic with a lot of nuance.
Great tips
Glad it was helpful Jose!
Good one!
Thanks!
Great instructional video!! Just started throwing glide baits myself. What size kastking reel are you using?
Lovely bait bud, outstanding work again. I was happy when you said you were using heavy braid for testing the lure. It amazes me how many big baits are lost due to line snapping on the cast. When beach casting in the sea we use a formula of 10lb per 1 oz weight for determination of shock leader strength. When using heavy lures on powerful swimbait rods I apply the same logic, but instead of shock leader I use straight up braid to the lure or bite leader, for tooth fish like pike, so for a 6oz lure it is 60lb braid straight through. Also if I get snagged I nearly alway get my lure back
I like those new savage Grip trebles! What size should I get for the 7". You keep getting better and better Nick!
They are WICKED sticky, aren't they? We've had some excellent results on them. We'd recommend the 1/0 for the 7 inch glide. The hooks are light enough that they won't impede the bait action at this size.
The savage gear glides are nice in the water. The problem is getting any distance on the cast. They helicopter cast more than any glide I’ve ever thrown. But you can’t beat the price. And you can even fish it aggressively from the bank around structure. Because if you break it off you aren’t out of $100 or more
the issue usually is your rod. try a stouter one and see if there is a difference.
I'm liking the River2Sea ICBM
Interesting looking bait, basically a good-sized twitch bait?
Stripers on the CA Delta seem to love it
Show them how we do it in Cali where the big ones roam!!!
Cali dudes teaching swimbaits is like florida dudes teaching flippin just watch and learn
#Truth!
Preach!! 🐬🐬🐬
Wow, that's incredible! Can you suggest some distributor names where I can buy them? I'm particularly interested in lead baits.

I though this was going be one of the bassmaster guys down on fork explaining the big bait bite they were onz brandon card, patrik walters, chris zaldain, lee livesay who was on that bite
Same, haha
Sorry, that will be a future video. We did however film this 10-pound bass fish catch video with Carl Jocumsen just before the Fork event... th-cam.com/video/p7vvUAqpdJw/w-d-xo.html
Nick, if line gets dangled with front treble hook when u get the bait to do the u turn, have any suggestions?
Often times I will give the bait slack and pop my rod tip down against the water. Doesn’t always work but sometimes it does
Very informative! What gear ratio u typically use?
Thanks! This reel was an 8.6:1 but generally speaking, a 7:1 is pretty optimal.
I know it’s an older video, but why wouldn’t you throw a finesse type bait immediately afterwards instead of coming back? Is it because they’re already on alert?
I have had followers, really big followers like 8-9lbers. Never get bit tho. I have only thrown an S-waver in bone. Maybe my color is off? They just school and follow it but never attack it as forage, even with stalls and doing 180's ect . What am I doing wrong?
Sometimes that can be a timing deal as well so step one is done locating. Come back to that same area an hour before or after.
Thanks for the tip. It can be so frustrating having ollowersbut no bite. I will take your advice.
What about gear ratio? I recently bought the Shimano curado 300 4:7:1 and I’m worried that may be to slow. Can you possibly confirm if that was a good purchase or not?
How many inches per turn is it.?
I use a 6.3:1 and a 7.1:1 I like the 6:1 a little better. These are kinds ruff estimates
6:1 is around 24”-26” per turn retrieved
7:1 is approximately 28”-30” retrieved
8:1 is approximately 32”-34” retrieved
Now of course this varies between manufacturers and models
@@JS-oy6nn it says 25” per turn for the 4:7:1 ratio on the Shimano site
@@JS-oy6nn so I’m guessing that’s a pretty good spot to be in for big glide baits. It definitely looked good in the water. I’d like to also have the 6:6:1 for a different style of big swimbaits.
Can I use one of these glide baits on a spinning reel?
It would have to be a pretty heavy power spinning rod that can handle the weight of the baits for casting and retrieve.
@@Wired2Fish thanks
Best part is, hes using a kastking reel
'Pro' Randy Blaukat needs to watch this video after his humiliating loss the past weekend..LOLOLOLOL
Nick was very thorough in this one.
Tip: you have to “Lob” savage glides because they helicopter terrible.
Now you’re letting the go to bait out. I’ve been hanging monster in north Florida
It's definitely a great bait to catch big ones!
The fish are trying to figure out what fish swims with its head instead of tail and fins
Perhaps, like a game trail cam, you know where they live, and this is half the battle.
@@Wired2Fish Exactly use it as a search tool and catch a few monsters while you're searching! 👍
Says not to throw it over your shoulder 2 sec later does it
🤣
River2Sea S-Waver is a cheaper option than this Savage gear lure. The midsize one is $15-$17. Can’t spend $30 on something I’ll snag
n**(
Calls it a 7 oz bait when it's actually 4.5.
Nick @ informativefisherman
- keep up the good work
Okay bandwagon
"When throwing a heavy swimbait, don't throw from your shoulder". Very next cast he throws from his shoulder. Most of these guys just talk out of their butts, trying to sound smart.
Caught me, super guilty shoulder hurts all the time too.
Nothing here applies to small mouth river fishing.
What’s the maximum depth of water you should fish a glide bait
