Description

Glide baits require a rod that can control the bait without overpowering its motion. The Glidepath’s responsive tip allows anglers to work glides smoothly while maintaining the rhythm and cadence that trigger bites. As the rod loads, it transitions into a powerful midsection that drives hooks and maintains steady pressure on fish without pulling treble hooks free. The 7'4" length and 14" handle provide leverage for long casts and sweeping hooksets, without adding unnecessary handle length, making it easier to cover water and glide baits correctly.

Perfection

Now we’re talkin’. Incredible rod for swimbaits in the .5oz-2oz range (rating is true). Pulling it out of the rod tube It’s immediately clear care was put into this build. I was skeptical about a rod of this size, and worried it would be wimpy or too stiff because of its shorter length. Not so. It’s light, powerful and crisp with a nice deep taper and powerful bottom end.The KGB Lil’ Guy, 6” Trick, The Judo, Vitallion, Magdraft and TK are at home on this rod. I also throw mag sized spinnerbaits and squarebills on it. It’s super versatile. Even with a 150 sized reel it balances into the chuck, this thing just floats in hand.
