99% of Anglers Fish a Glide Bait WRONG!! #1 Retrieve for EVERY Type of Glide Bait

I’ve spent a substantial amount of time with a glide bait in my hands the last handful of years. Through thousands of casts, thousands of bass, thousands of mistakes and thousands of wasted dollars…I’ve learned everything I’m sharing regarding the best retrieves, applications and modifications for each different type of glide bait. Please feel free to COMMENT any questions below. Remember, none of what I’m sharing are “truths” or “absolutes” that are applicable to every situation on every body of water…they are simply MY truths, for you to apply to your fisheries, and develop your own ideologies.

SORRY GUYS!! All links should be working now. Looks like lots of questions about how to do the joint mod...would you guys like to see a step by step process of the joint mod with the rotary tool? I blasted some bigs on the modified flow glider today 👍🏻

Ben I think this goes without saying, but you are the best teacher/ YouTube fisherman there is. I have truly learned how to bass fish from you and your channel. When I got to my mid 20's and some particularly bad habits I needed a positive hobby to occupy my time with. I turned to fishing and from there I started getting into bass fishing. And for 3 or 4 years I struggled. And then I started watching you tube and found your channel. You taught me how to tie fishing knots from drop shot to flipping to Carolina rigs. And Years later. You just laid down the most info/ best teaching seminar on "glide baits" that there is! You just taught me how to properly use the baits I already have and what I have been doing wrong. And I honestly want to tell you how much I appreciate and I'm sure everyone else who watches you appreciates, and enjoys all of your content and personally how much I have grown as a bass angler and that is largely because of the things you have taught me. Thank you!

I’ve learned just by watching ur channel. Hasn’t quite translated to success yet, but I just found a quarter under my seat! So got that goin for me!

Caught my first glide bait fish on the flow rider the other day. That's before the modifications too....not a giant but solid catch. Thanks Ben.

Landed my first fish on a glide style bait today, this video helped me so much to understand the different baits and how and where to use them.
It was awesome to watch the fish come up and eat such a big bait. Time stood still as she came out of the abyss showed me her whole side, mouth wide open and smoked the Glide.

Excellent info in this fish mostly for trophy river stripers here in East Tennessee and throw these huge glide baits in the darkness. I like the castaic and river to sea baits. Also the huddleston are good too. I only throw two patterns shad and rainbow trout. Over the years I've caught plenty of 40lbers and a few in the 50 lb class (salt water stripers from montauk and cape cod) I'm using serious $$$$ tackle, thousand dollar saltigas and stellas 100 lb braid and custom lamiglass and st croix and loomis glass rods. No boat, no kayak, just shorebound me, putting in my time, alone at rivers and lakes at 3am, thousands of casts, earning my stripes the hard way. I Love it

Ben, congratulations on your 3rd place. I've always wanted to see guys like you compete and you did not disappoint. Respect, Brother.

[jimbeam]

I was struggling trying to catch fish on glides before I started watching your videos. Just the small things you do has really turned that around for me! Love your content and you’re always being yourself and not just trying to get views!

[melissakhalar]

Informative video easy to understand. I've been fishing for around 55 years and I've learned so much more about catching fish since I have been watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your expertise Sir.

[southwestfishguy]

Man, this video is Golden! Thank you for posting this information. I lost one expensive glide and did get discouraged. I’ll definitely give them another go now.

[rollin]

Thanks for a sip of the juice bro, just bought my first glide bait about 2 weeks ago and rather than search the tube for everyone's 2 cents this vid comes up. Mad props bro and im going to use this to slay my local spots.

[brandontimper]

This is a great video, we cant all afford the top $$$ Glides but we all want to be able to maximize our cheaper glides. Thanks for the "juice" on this! Thank you for always putting out the great tips/tricks and overall fishing knowledge.

[josephmazzaferro]

I think this is my favorite video yet!! You really are a great teacher man, I appreciate you I can’t wait to modify my flow gliders

[doublec]

Thanks a lot for that one brother, that was some super valuable information that I’m sure hurt you a little bit to come off of. I’ve been struggling to gain confidence in the cheaper glidebaits that I can actually afford. This is a game changer for me. Thanks again, and hell yeah.👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[davegwiazdon]

Wow! I'm glad I stumbled onto this video. I can't tell you how many times I'll walk by a display of these glide baits, wanting to try them out....but they're expensive. And I never really knew where, when or how to fish them....and I already have hundreds of other baits/methods to fish...but I keep eyeballing them anyway, cuz I know it's one way to get after some big'n's. This video was a huge help! Thanks! Looking forward to checking out some of your other videos.

[MitchRappIsBack]

This video was fantastic!! Up here in Maine we don’t throw a lot of big baits but early this summer (June) I tossed in Arashi glide near a massive sunken tree and I gave it a few twitches… Boom! A 5+ pounder freight train T-bone’d it and wasn’t coming off. Anyway, I was hooked too. Tonight I just ordered 2x Draw and 1x Flo Glide. I already have a Trace and I’ve tried chopping it with varied results. Armed with my new baits and your hot mods/tips, I’m ready to go chuckin. Thanks.

[bassketchum]

Big baits were the reason I started watching this channel, good to see it coming back ... It's definitely a learning curve throwing big glides. You did spill some juice but there is a lot of tips and tricks still to share but that ain't my job 🤣 good shit

[timg]

I already knew that trick . But I didn’t realize how much you have to grind off. Awesome video!

[sheltonfishing]

You are the go to guy on the internet for glide baits or hell any other crazy slaunch slaying techniques you may have. Keep up the great work . Thanks for letting go of some of them tricks

[dirtyfan]

Man you and Mikey Ballz are 2 of the most informative channels out there. Love both your channels. This one was awesome. Good job
