Description

The Alternative to the Raptor mini glide is ow in stock on the website. Originally designed to fish on BFS equipment it works wonderfully on light spinning gear as well. At only 2 1/4" long is weighs only 1/4 ounces. The action is incredible, you would be hard pressed to find a bait this size with the moves this thing has. It truly acts like a live baitfish. If you fish for smallmouth and don't have at least one of these in your collection well, that's on you. This is one of those lures I expect to sell out this year like the Alive Chatterbait did last year. I think it took 4 or 5 months to get back in stock. Don't miss out, get on over to sammysbaits.com and get yourself some.

Field Notes

Best for BFS or light spinning setups when targeting pressured smallmouth and other bass. Use steady retrieves with occasional pauses or subtle twitches to make the bait look like a live baitfish. It shines around open water and clear-water situations where a natural glide presentation gets bites.

Pros

  • Very small profile for finicky bass
  • Works on BFS and light spinning gear
  • Realistic baitfish-style action

Cons

  • Light weight can be hard to cast on heavier gear
  • Small size may limit appeal to larger bass in some situations
