Description

The Mattlures Hangglider is an ultra-realistic rainbow trout glide bait. It has a very wide graceful glide when swam or worked slowly. It can also be made to chop with short quick turns of the reel handle. The floating versions chop and or walk especially well and will even create splashes of the tail with each side-to-side motion. The heavy float option can easily be made to dive under and stay under the surface as you work the back to you. The baits are 12inches and weigh around 13oz depending on sink rate.

  • Wide, graceful glide
