Well, let me tell ya, these little swimmy things, they call ’em small glide baits, they’re somethin’ else. Folks use ’em to catch fish, ya know. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I seen my grandson using ’em, and he catches a whole mess of fish with ’em.
- First off, they got these little joints in ’em, so they wiggle in the water like a real fish.
- Fish, they ain’t too bright, so they think it’s somethin’ good to eat, and they chomp right down on it.
Now, there’s all sorts of kinds, you know. Some are tiny, like for little fish, and some are bigger for bigger fish. My grandson, he likes the ones that ain’t too big, says they work better. He got one called a Gan Craft Jointed Claw 70, sounds fancy, but it’s just a little plastic fish, if ya ask me. And another one, a Mini Glide, that one’s good too, he says.
They say you gotta use special rods and reels with these things. Somethin’ about heavy power and 20-pound test. Sounds like a lot of rigmarole to me, but the boy seems to know what he’s doin’. He stands there by the water, flickin’ that rod back and forth, makin’ that little fish swim all funny.
They even got one called a Raptor mini glide bait. That one’s made for “BFS fishing,” whatever that means. All these fancy names, I tell ya. Back in my day, we just used a worm and a hook. But these kids, they gotta have all the new gadgets.
Now, I heard tell you gotta start with the ones that are about 6 or 7 inches long. That’s a pretty good size, they say. Not too big, not too small. Just right, like Goldilocks and her porridge, I guess.
They say these things are “hard swimbaits.” Hard? I don’t know, they look like plastic to me. But what do I know? I’m just an old woman. But I see the boy catchin’ fish, so they must be doin’ somethin’ right.
These glide baits, they swim in a zig-zag, like a drunk sailor walkin’ home from the bar. That’s what makes the fish bite, apparently. They see that crazy swimmin’, and they just can’t resist.
If you got questions about ’em, you can talk to someone on “LiveChat.” Live what? I dunno. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss. But if you’re into these fancy fishin’ things, I guess it’s somethin’ you might wanna do.
So, that’s what I know about these small glide baits. They wiggle, they swim funny, and they catch fish. What more do ya need to know?
