Description

Expanding the Slide Swimmer lineup to include a high-buoyancy model option, the Deps Slide Swimmer 175 Floating Glide Bait has been modified to suspend just under the water so anglers can target shallow bass with surface waking action. Built around a clear ABS hollow body core to improve durability and overall function, the Slide Swimmer responds swiftly to rod operation by providing erratic high-response movement with a twitch or jerking style retrieve. Designed to be less intrusive than the original Slide Swimmer 175, the spring weight micro-vibe system is removed from the floating model to make it completely silent and less intimidating in shallow waters. The soft-shell exterior creates stable swimming action that does not upset balance with fast retrieves, and if you remove the silicone skin and add a weight, anglers can adjust the rate of fall for silent slow-sinking action. Furnished with high-strength figure eight rings at the line-tie and joint, the hook setting is selected with strong awareness for targeting large predators and boasts outstanding penetration with an extremely smooth surface treatment. Deceiving monster bass with a quiet appeal, the Deps Slide Swimmer 175 Floating Glide Bait provides a deadly trout profile that delivers a unique sense of life as water passes through a duct at the nose.

Field Notes

Best for shallow bass when you want a quiet, high-buoyancy glide bait with surface-waking action. It responds well to twitching or jerking retrieves and can also be fished faster without losing balance. You can modify it for a slower sink if needed, but out of the package it is designed to stay high in the water column.
