Glide Baits and Swimbaits: When to Throw Each

Glide baits

Wide, deliberate movement can draw fish from a distance and reveal where larger predators are positioned.

Swimbaits

A steady swimming action is useful when you need a natural forage profile at a controlled depth and speed.

Make room for the bait

Use suitable tackle, check hooks and connections, and practice retrieves where you can see how the lure responds.
