Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right glide bait for bass fishing?

Match bait size to forage in your lake, typically 4-6 inches for most bass and up to 8-9 inches if you're targeting true giants or fishing waters with big gizzard shad. Also consider the glide action: wide side-to-side gliders excel in clear water for a searching presence, while tighter-gliding baits work better in stained water or around cover where fish need to react quickly.

When and where should I fish glide baits for bass?

Glide baits shine during pre-spawn and fall when bass are feeding on large baitfish, and they're deadly around main lake points, flats, and suspended over deep structure where a slow, horizontal presentation keeps the bait in the strike zone longer. They also produce well at night or in low light when big bass roam open water hunting for an easy meal.

What conditions are best for throwing a glide bait?

Glide baits perform best in clear to moderately stained water where bass can visually track the subtle side-to-side action, and they're most effective in water temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees when big bass are actively chasing baitfish. Calm to slightly windy conditions work well since too much chop can mask the glide action that triggers strikes.

Do you ship glide baits internationally and is it free?

Yes. Every order ships free with no minimum, with tracking included. We currently ship to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and cannot accept orders from other countries at checkout. Orders to the United States and Canada typically arrive within 8 to 13 business days, and orders to the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand within 13 to 23 business days, counted from the moment you order. Most orders ship directly from our suppliers' warehouses in China, which is why those windows are longer than next-day retail. These are estimates based on typical transit times, not guarantees.
