I-Slide 135 Jointed Glide Bait Swimbait for Bass
I-Slide 135 Jointed Glide Bait Swimbait for Bass
The I-Slide 135 is a jointed glide bait built to imitate a wounded baitfish with a wide, tantalizing side-to-side sweep. The two-piece body flexes at the joint, giving each glide a natural roll and subtle wobble that big bass find hard to ignore. Its slow sink rate lets you work it through the strike zone at a controlled pace, holding depth on pauses instead of floating away from the fish.
This glide bait shines when largemouth or smallmouth are keyed on baitfish in open water, along points, or over submerged grass. Twitch-and-pause retrieves draw reaction strikes from fish shadowing the bait, while a steady retrieve produces a tight, walking glide. It is a strong choice for prospecting big water and triggering follow-up strikes from pressured or suspended bass.
