******** PLEASE READ*******
This is a seven inch swimbait, which puts it right on the line of needing dedicated swimbait gear. Only you are responsible for knowing if you have the proper rod and reel.
Use at your own risk, glidebait fishing is extremely addictive. Other side effects include tired shoulders, fishing for extended periods, and potential personal best records if used correctly.

Super stoked on these new glidebait blanks from Alternative Lures. Modeled similarly to the 185, but with some minor fixes to the UGLY FACE that the authentic bait has.
Very happy to show off these custom painted glidebaits, modeled after the I slide 185 from alternative lures. The blank features a soft removable tail, and an incredible side to side swimming action. This model does NOT have magnets that keep the hooks pressed against the body, which I believe leads to better hookup ratios.
The paint job is one of a kind. I use primarily automotive, Candy, pearl and Colorshift paints. Stuff that most lure painters won’t touch because of expense and difficulty to work with. When you get it set right on a glide bait you have something that’s going to draw fish from wherever they’ve been hiding.
Even a 1.5lb smallmouth will take interest in the bait. From that point you can follow up with a smaller bait like a jerkbait to get the smaller fish to react.
But BIG FISH is what you’re after. This bait has Stainless steel split rings and WLURE 1/0 4x strong hooks for grinding that trophy fish to you.
They have a MODERATE sink about an inch a second on 20lb fluorocarbon.
Shipping .50 each additional lure you buy.
