  • We hit the pool with single jointed swimbaits varying in price from $8 to upwards of $1000, to show their differences in action and application underwater. If you're trying to figure out which swimbait should be your next purchase, this video will be extremely helpful. We even found a few cheaper baits to be extremely impressive in the pool!

  • @stoneysdead689
    @stoneysdead689 2 года назад +4

    There is a place for big wide gliding baits in open water but- the cheaper glide that has a tighter action works 10 times better in cover than the ones that have this wide, extreme glide. The S-waver, the Pistol Pete, Sneaky Pete, and Arashi are great cover glides. And since cover is predominantly what I fish, I stick to the cheaper glides and it works great for me. 6th sense sells inexpensive glide baits so- obviously there is a place for them.

    Quick question about throwing big baits. Do you prefer using braid to leader when throwing a slow sink since you are covering the upper portion of the water column or do you throw straight fluorocarbon across the board? Quick note…caught my some fish burning the bank with my new Trace. Getting more today on 6th sense Black Friday sale to send to be custom matte painted for this winter.

    On those budget baits The 200 Waver is a total different bait than the 168 in my opinion, I consider the 168 just a big jerkbait! The 200 has a way better glide and it dont blow out as easy, It flat out gets bit for a cheap bait
