Description

11.5 Inches 9.0 Ounces The Gladiator is a massive, 2 piece glide bait, designed for serious trophy fisherman. This bait is the larger version of the Trident, yet still offers all actions a glide bait can produce. With such a large profile the bait is extremely stable. It can be reeled as slow or as fast as desired with consistent action. Slow reels will swing the bait to make very long, wide glides, providing massive drawing power. Speeding up your reel cadence will allow the bait to be chopped fast and erratic for reaction strikes and following fish. Responsible now for hundreds of giant fish in our boats, this bait is sure to turn heads of the biggest predators in any body of water.

Field Notes

Use this oversized glide bait when targeting trophy bass around open water, points, and other areas where big fish can track a large profile. Slow retrieves create long, wide glides, while faster reel cadence makes the bait chop and dart erratically to trigger reaction strikes from followers.

Pros

  • Huge profile for drawing trophy fish from distance
  • Stable action at slow or fast retrieve speeds
  • Can produce both wide glides and erratic reaction bites

Cons

  • Large size and weight require stout tackle
  • May be overkill for pressured or smaller bass
