The C3 Baits Ice Pick 3" is a staple finesse soft plastic born from over 40 years of fishing experience on Southern California's most pressured reservoirs — Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake, and Lake Piru. Hand-poured, packaged, and delivered by Captain Castaic himself, John Petroski, the Ice Pick features a rounded profile tapering down to a flat pin tail that creates a subtle, irresistible action in the water column. Buoyant by design, it rides naturally on a dropshot or ball head jig, triggering bites when other baits can't.

Unlike a narrower profile bait, the Ice Pick's rounded body gives it just enough presence to be seen while staying light and natural — exactly what finicky bass in clear, pressured water demand. Change colors to match the hatch and this bait will produce year-round.

Key Features

• 3" buoyant pin tail profile — natural, light action in the water column
• Rounded body tapers to flat pin tail — more presence than a shimmy, more finesse than a worm
• Deadly on dropshot and ball head jig presentations
• Hand-poured and 100% handcrafted in Castaic, CA — made in USA
• Color-matched to local forage by Captain Castaic with 40+ years on the same lakes
• 12 baits per pack — exceptional value
• Produces year-round — just match the color to conditions

The SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig 2PK gives float-and-fly fishing a compact, easy-to-control presentation for bass, crappie, panfish, and trout. Fish it beneath a bobber, with a split shot, or fly lined on light 4- or 6-pound line. You can swim it with a steady retrieve or make it rise and fall with the rod tip, so one small jig covers several finesse presentations.

Each package includes two Phat Fly hair jigs. Choose from 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz sizes in five color patterns to match the depth, pace, and profile you want to show the fish.

Why This Little Jig Gets Invited Along

The Phat Fly is built for anglers who want a small lure that can be presented at a controlled depth or worked through the water column. Its compact hair-jig profile is equally at home under a float, ahead of a small split shot, or on a light line with no added weight.

When a Small Profile Needs More Life

A tiny jig can be difficult to keep in the strike zone if it only moves one way. The Phat Fly gives you multiple ways to change the presentation: a straight wind for steady movement, a bobber for depth control, or a lift-and-drop retrieve that sends the jig up 12–24 inches before it falls back through the water.

Built for Finesse Presentations

• Float-and-fly fishing for bass, crappie, panfish, and trout
• Bobber rigs when you want to suspend the jig at a chosen depth
• Split-shot presentations when you want a little extra weight
• Fly-line fishing on light 4- or 6-pound line
• Straight-wind retrieves for steady movement
• Lift-and-drop retrieves with a 12–24 inch rod-tip lift

The Right Pick If...

• You want one small jig that works with a float, split shot, or no added weight.
• You fish light line and need a compact presentation for multiple freshwater species.
• You like changing the lure's depth and cadence instead of committing to one retrieve.
• You want a two-jig pack with bass, bluegill, shad, ghost, and chartreuse-inspired color options.

What It Does Best, and When to Choose Something Else

The Phat Fly shines when finesse, depth control, and a subtle moving target matter more than maximum casting distance or heavy bottom contact. Its 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz sizes are made for light-tackle presentations. If you need a lure for heavy cover, deep fast current, or a power-fishing retrieve, choose a heavier setup instead.

How to Fish It

For a float-and-fly presentation, suspend the jig beneath a bobber and adjust the depth until the bait is traveling where fish are holding. Add a split shot when you need the jig to get down more quickly, or fly line it on 4- or 6-pound line for a clean, natural fall.

Start with a steady retrieve when fish are willing to chase. When they need a slower presentation, raise the rod tip quickly 12–24 inches and let the jig fall back down before repeating the motion. The combination of lift, pause, and fall gives you an easy way to vary the cadence without changing lures.

Best Conditions

Reach for the Phat Fly when you want to keep a small hair jig suspended, moving lightly through the water, or falling on light line. Use 1/16 oz for the most delicate presentation and 1/8 oz when you want a little more weight for depth control or a quicker fall. Let the target species, depth, and desired retrieve determine the color and size.

Color and Size Guide

• 1/16 oz: The lighter choice for a delicate float, fly-line, or slow-fall presentation.
• 1/8 oz: Adds weight when you want to reach depth or make the lift-and-drop cadence more pronounced.
• Baby Bass: A natural bass-inspired option in the available lineup.
• Blue Gill: A bluegill-pattern choice for a familiar freshwater profile.
• Blue Shad: A baitfish-style color option.
• Chartreuse Ghost: A brighter option when you want more visual contrast.
• Grey Ghost: A subdued ghost-color alternative.

Key Features

• Hair jig profile: Compact presentation for freshwater finesse fishing.
• Two sizes: Available in 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz.
• Five color patterns: Baby Bass, Blue Gill, Blue Shad, Chartreuse Ghost, and Grey Ghost.
• Multiple rigging options: Fish it with a bobber, split shot, or fly lined.
• Light-line friendly: Designed for 4- or 6-pound line presentations.
• Two per pack: Each package includes 2 jigs.

Models & Specs

Every model below is sold as a 2-pack of SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jigs.

Tackle Express Tips

• Set the bobber depth first, then change retrieve speed before changing colors. The Phat Fly is designed to let you control both depth and cadence.
• On a lift-and-drop retrieve, lift the rod tip 12–24 inches and let the jig fall all the way back before repeating the motion.
• Keep 4- or 6-pound line in mind when building the rig. The light line keeps this small presentation working as intended.

FAQ

What species can I catch with the SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig?
It is suited to bass, crappie, panfish, and trout, especially when a compact freshwater presentation is the right fit.

Can I fish the Phat Fly under a bobber?
Yes. It was designed for float-and-fly fishing and can also be used with a split shot or fly lined on 4- or 6-pound line.

What is the best retrieve?
Start with a straight wind, then try a lift-and-drop retrieve. Raising the rod tip 12–24 inches and letting the jig fall back down gives you a simple way to add height and pause to the presentation.

Complete the Setup

Build a light-tackle system around the Phenix Elixir Series Ultralight Spinning Rods, or add a compact alternative such as the Lead Masters Mini Tube Jigs. For another small-profile option, compare the Phat Fly with the Basstrix Mini Trix 1.5-inch Soft Plastic Minnow.

Pick the size that matches your depth, choose a color that fits the forage or visibility you want, and let the Phat Fly's light presentation do the searching.

The Glide Bait That Made Glide Baits Mainstream

The River2Sea S-Waver is a two-piece hard glide bait built around River2Sea's exclusive pin-and-tenon hinge and finished with a soft PVC tail. That combination produces the wide, unhurried S-shaped swimming motion the bait is named for. It comes in two sizes — the 120S at 4.75" and the 168S at 6.75" — and both run sub-surface at roughly a foot on a steady retrieve.

Why Anglers Reach for the S-Waver

Most hard baits announce themselves. The S-Waver doesn't. The hinge lets the two halves swing wide and glide on a straight, slow retrieve without any rod input at all, so the bait covers water with a big, lazy profile that reads as an unhurried baitfish rather than something fleeing. On pressured fish that have refused everything faster, that difference is the whole point.

The Problem With Working a Glide Bait Too Hard

The most common way to fish this bait badly is to fish it like a jerkbait. Hard twitches kill the glide and collapse the S into a stutter. The hinge is doing the work — your job is mostly to reel slowly and stay out of its way. A twitch is for changing direction and triggering a follower, not for generating the action.

What Sets It Apart

• River2Sea's exclusive pin-and-tenon hinge — the source of the S-action
• Soft PVC tail that keeps swimming when the body pauses
• Two-piece hard body in two sizes, 4.75" and 6.75"
• Sub-surface runner at roughly one foot on a steady retrieve
• River2Sea BN treble hooks fitted from the factory
• Twenty-two size and color combinations in stock, including trout, bluegill, and shad patterns

The Right Pick If…

• You're fishing clear water where fish get a long look at the bait
• You want to cover water without burning a lure past fish
• You're targeting bigger-than-average bass and willing to trade bite count for size
• You've watched fish follow and refuse faster presentations

Choosing Your Size

• 120S — 4.75", 1 3/16 oz: The approachable size. Throwable on a heavy bass rod, fewer refusals, and it still draws quality fish. Start here if this is your first glide bait. Fitted with #4 and #6 trebles.
• 168S — 6.75", 1 5/8 oz: The big-fish size. More water displaced, more commitment from the fish that eat it, fewer bites overall. Wants a proper swimbait rod. Fitted with two #2 trebles.

Best Techniques

• Straight slow retrieve: The default. Cast, let it settle, and reel slowly and steadily — the hinge generates the S without any help
• Pause and glide: Stop the reel mid-retrieve and let the bait coast sideways. Most strikes on the 168S come on the glide, not the pull
• Twitch to trigger: When a fish follows without committing, one sharp twitch turns the bait ninety degrees and often converts the follow
• Count down over structure: Both sizes sink slowly, so you can count them down to a specific depth before starting the retrieve

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water — the action is visual, and fish need to see it
• Pressured lakes and reservoirs where fast reaction baits have stopped working
• Open water, points, and the outside edges of grass and timber
• Pre-spawn and fall, when bigger fish are actively hunting larger forage

Best For

• Species: Largemouth and smallmouth bass across both sizes; pike, musky, and striped bass more commonly on the 168S
• Techniques: Slow straight retrieve, pause-and-glide, twitch-to-trigger, countdown
• Environments: Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, open water, points, grass edges, timber

Key Features

• Two-piece hard glide bait with pin-and-tenon hinge
• Soft PVC tail
• Available in 120S (4.75", 1 3/16 oz) and 168S (6.75", 1 5/8 oz)
• Sub-surface running depth, approximately 1 ft
• River2Sea BN treble hooks — #4 and #6 on the 120S, two #2 on the 168S
• Eight colors in the 120S, fourteen in the 168S
• Trout, bluegill, shad, perch, and bone patterns available

Models & Specs

120S colors: Rainbow Trout, Lite Trout, Party Crasher, Baby Bass, Warden, Bluegill, Abalone Shad, Bone.
168S colors: Rainbow Trout, Lite Trout, Hitch, Party Crasher, Baby Bass, Warden, Bluegill, Abalone Shad, Bone, Yellow Perch, Crystal Minnow, Powder, Terminator, You Know It.

Tackle Express Tips

• Slow down, then slow down again: Nearly everyone fishes this bait too fast the first few trips. If you think you're reeling slowly enough, take another turn per second off it.
• Match the color to what they're eating: Rainbow Trout and Lite Trout on trout-stocked reservoirs, Bluegill around spawning flats and docks, Bone and Powder when the water is stained or the light is flat.
• Don't undergun the 168S: At 1 5/8 oz it's a genuine swimbait rod bait. Throwing it on a standard heavy bass setup costs you distance and beats up the rod.

FAQ

Which size should I start with?
The 120S. At 4.75" and 1 3/16 oz it casts on gear most bass anglers already own, it draws more bites than the larger size, and it still catches quality fish. Move to the 168S once you're confident in the retrieve and specifically hunting bigger fish.

How do I actually fish a glide bait?
Cast it, let it settle, and reel slowly and steadily — the pin-and-tenon hinge creates the S-action on its own with no rod work. Pause occasionally and let it coast sideways; that glide is when most strikes happen. Save sharp twitches for turning the bait when a fish follows without eating.

Is this a topwater bait?
No. The S-Waver is a sub-surface glide bait that runs roughly a foot down on a steady retrieve. If you're after a surface walking bait, that's a different category entirely.

The Big Hammer 6 1/2" Swimbait gives you a larger baitfish profile for calico bass, striped bass, and largemouth bass when a smaller soft bait does not match the forage. Its soft-plastic body and square tail make it a versatile jig-head presentation: swim it along an open kelp edge, count it down beside a point, or slow the retrieve over deeper structure.

Picture a drift past a kelp line with baitfish showing just outside the cover. Rig a body straight, let it settle to the depth you want, and bring it back on a controlled wind. You can change head weight and sink time as conditions change without abandoning the larger profile. Each body is sold individually, making it easy to carry a few color choices and replacement tails.

Match Larger Forage Without Locking In One Depth

Choose this size when you want a more substantial silhouette than a compact swimbait, particularly around larger baitfish. A separate jig head lets you adjust the rig for current and depth. For a smaller presentation or a step down in profile, compare the Big Hammer 5" Swimbait.

The tradeoff is tackle demand: match your rod to the combined weight of body and head, not just the head alone. Soft plastic can tear after bites, and an exposed jig hook can snag in thick vegetation or broken rock. Keep spare bodies handy and work open lanes or cover edges.

Rig Straight Before You Cast Far

Pair the body with a Big Hammer Swimbait Jig Head sized to fit its depth and length. Lay the hook alongside the body first, note the exit point, and thread the plastic on without bunching it. Check that the body sits straight and that the tail moves freely during a short test retrieve.

Head weight depends on water depth, current, line, and retrieve speed. Use the lightest head that keeps the bait under control at your intended depth. Confirm hook fit on the actual body rather than assuming every head of the same weight has the same hook dimensions.

Best For Bigger-Profile Swimbait Fishing

Reach for this bait when fishing calico bass along open kelp edges, stripers around points and bait schools, or largemouth bass outside weed lines and over submerged structure. It can also be worked as a larger soft-bait option for pike and musky with species-appropriate tackle and bite protection. Start where feeding activity or visible forage gives you a reason to use a larger profile.

A Simple Body With Room to Adjust

• 6 1/2-inch length: a substantial baitfish-style profile.
• Square tail: a broad tail surface for a swimming presentation.
• Soft-plastic body: rig on a separate, appropriately sized jig head.
• Freshwater and inshore applications: adapt the rig to your target fish and local conditions.
• Sold individually: select colors and spare bodies without committing to a full pack of each.

Shared Specs Across the Color Lineup

Find the Depth, Then Set the Pace

Steady swimming: use a controlled retrieve along structure edges or outside vegetation. Begin with a speed that keeps the bait tracking straight, then adjust to the fish's response.

Countdown fishing: repeat a sink count after each cast to explore a consistent depth. Extend the count to search deeper, and shorten it when the rig contacts cover too often. Wind and current can change the sink path, so treat the count as a repeatable reference rather than an exact depth measurement.

Lift and swim: allow the rig to settle near structure, lift it clear, and swim it forward before letting it fall again. Maintain awareness of the line on the drop and keep the head out of rock crevices. In stronger current, adjust weight or casting angle before simply retrieving faster.

Start With a Color You Can Explain

Pacific Chovy gives you a dark back with a light belly, while Olive Herring offers an olive-and-gold look. Calico Hunter and Red Calico Hunter provide layered brown and orange tones with contrasting bellies. Halloween II and Creeping Death offer darker backs over warm-colored bodies; Toasted adds a black tail. Use these visual differences to start with a forage match or a contrasting silhouette, then change color based on fish response rather than expecting one pattern to fit every day.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check the total rig: choose a rod with a lure rating suited to both the soft body and the jig head.
• Test beside you: if the bait rolls or pulls to one side, straighten the body before changing your retrieve.
• Store tails straight: avoid folding the tail under other tackle, and inspect the nose and hook exit after each fish.

Before You Choose Your Color

What makes Big Hammer Swimbaits so effective?
The square tail gives this soft swimbait a unique action initiates aggressive strikes.

Is a jig head included?
No. Select a separate head that fits the body, then choose its weight for your depth, current, and tackle.

When should I choose this over the 5-inch size?
Choose the 6 1/2-inch body when you want a larger forage profile and have tackle suited to the complete rig. Step down when a smaller bait better matches the forage or presentation you need.

Berkley PowerBait Trout Bait is a moldable dough bait for trout fishing, supplied here in a 1.75 oz jar. Shape a portion around your hook to suit your presentation. This page includes several color, scent and formula options, so read the complete option name before ordering.

Choose your bait option

• Color choices: options include Rainbow, White, Salmon Peach, Pink Lemonade and other listed combinations.
• Glitter options: look for “Glitter” in the name when you want that finish.
• Scent choices: options labeled Garlic, Salmon Egg or other scent names identify those particular selections.
• Turbo Dough: choose an option labeled Turbo if you want that version; not every jar on this page is Turbo Dough.
• Quantity: one 1.75 oz jar of the selected option.

Rigging and presentation

Pinch off a portion and mold it securely around a suitable bait hook. For a floating-dough bottom presentation, use a separate sinker and leader, then check the baited hook in shallow water before casting. The amount of dough and the weight of the hook affect whether the complete baited hook rises off the bottom.

Start with a compact shape and adjust the amount until it stays attached and presents as intended. Try a different listed color or scent when you want to compare presentations, keeping the rest of the rig consistent.

1. Test the whole rig. Check buoyancy with the actual hook and dough portion you plan to fish, rather than assuming the bait alone will lift any hook.
2. Cast smoothly. Use a controlled cast and inspect the hook after retrieving to confirm the dough stayed attached.
3. Close the jar between uses. Keep unused dough covered and take out only the portion you need for the next cast.

Frequently asked questions

How much bait comes in a jar?

This listing is for one 1.75 oz jar of the selected option.

Are all the options Turbo Dough?

No. Turbo options are identified in their names. Other selections include standard color, glitter and scent variations.

Is the dough already shaped?

No. It is moldable bait that you portion and shape around your hook.

How do I choose a color?

Start with a color you can compare easily with another option under the conditions you are fishing. Change one part of the presentation at a time; no color guarantees a bite.

When you need a monofilament line that ties easily without giving up strength, Izorline XXX Super Copolymer Clear Fishing Line gives you a broad 2–40 lb size range on 1/4 lb spools. The listing highlights an extra-limp feel, strong construction, low memory, and abrasion resistance, with a clear/smoke presentation that can be less visible to fish.

Tie Cleanly, Fish Confidently

Izorline XXX is built for anglers who want line that is soft and easy to tie, while still bringing the strength and toughness needed for everyday freshwater and saltwater fishing. The wide range of available sizes makes it easier to match the line to your target and setup instead of forcing one compromise size.

When Stiff Line Gets in the Way

High-memory line can make knots and handling frustrating. The XXX Super Copolymer formula is listed as extra limp and low memory, helping the line feel more manageable when you are tying, rigging, or replacing line at the bench.

What It Does Well, and What to Keep in Mind

• Easy handling: The extra-limp construction is soft and easy to tie.
• Durable performance: The listing identifies the line as extra strong and extra tough, with great abrasion resistance.
• Broad selection: Available sizes run from 2 lb through 40 lb.
• Important spool detail: The spool is sold by weight, not by a fixed length of line. Smaller diameters can provide more line on the spool, which is why pricing can vary by size.

The Right Pick If...

Choose Izorline XXX when you want a versatile copolymer fishing line with low memory, easy knot handling, and a size range that covers light freshwater work through heavier saltwater applications. Choose the 1/4 lb spool format when the amount of line you need can vary by diameter.

SPRO Power Swivel Standard puts smooth line-twist control into a compact connection. Built with a brass body and stainless-steel line ties, this Japan-made swivel suits anglers who want to keep their terminal tackle tidy without ignoring strength. Pick the size that fits your line, leader and presentation, then let the swivel rotate as your rig moves.

A Small Connection That Keeps Turning

Twisted line can make a finesse rig harder to manage and cause frustration between casts. The Power Swivel's smooth rotation is meant to reduce that problem, while its gunmetal-black finish keeps the connection visually subdued. The range covers lighter freshwater presentations such as drop-shot rigs through larger inshore and saltwater setups. It is a swivel, not a snap: for quick lure changes, compare the SPRO Prime Snap Mini or the SPRO Prime Snap.

The Right Pick If...

You need line-twist control and want to choose a swivel by the dimensions and test ratings in the chart below. Smaller sizes keep the connection compact for finesse work; larger ratings suit rigs with higher strength demands. Match the swivel to your entire setup rather than choosing by the fish species alone.

Best For

• Drop-shot and other finesse rigs where line twist is a concern.
• Freshwater and saltwater terminal-tackle connections.
• Choosing a compact swivel by listed length, eye size and test rating.

Key Features

• Brass body and stainless-steel line ties.
• Smooth rotation to help manage line twist.
• Gunmetal-black finish.
• Ten listed sizes, from size 10 through 2/0.

Models & Specs

Dimensions and test ratings follow the existing size chart. The previous opening copy described size 10 as a quarter-inch long, but its chart says 3/8 inch; confirm that dimension if it matters to your rig. Size 7's variant label says Qty 5 while its SKU ends in “-10”; verify the physical pack count before ordering by quantity.

Rigging and Care

Connect the swivel between the appropriate line and leader or rig components, then check knots and make sure it rotates freely. Inspect it after fishing grit or debris, and rinse your terminal tackle after saltwater use.

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with the eye size and test rating, not just the size number.
• Check the knots and rotation before a long session.
• Use a snap separately if you also need fast lure changes.

FAQ

What does a swivel help with? It rotates to help manage line twist in a rig.

What is the smallest listed size? Size 10 is listed at 35 lb test and 3/8-inch length in the existing chart.

Is a snap included? This is the standard swivel listing, not a snap-swivel combination.

Choose the size suited to your setup and keep the connection turning.

The Megabass Great Hunting Humpback is an ideal to explore new streams where trout of all sizes roam. Its fast-sink tuning and tail weighting power smooth casts, flickering falls and stable swimming through everything the toughest mountain streams can bring.The Great Hunting Humpback's heavy tail-weighting also generates a wriggling, falling action to coax bites out of pools and allow for range adjustment along deep cut banks. and its bigger 51mm and 64mm lengths, have a tall body that generates outsized flash at every retrieve speed.

Designed primarily for stable retrieves with and against current, anglers can also spice up their offering with twitches and jerks to power escape action that attract reaction bites from veteran trophies. In swifter streams and deeper pools, these lures show their true power by reaching depth quicker than conventional minnows and permitting a high degree of range control. If your targets are chasing  the GH64 or GH51 without biting, try downsizing to the smaller GH46 size and/or speeding up your retrieve and twitch action.

The Savage Gear Glide Swimmer is built around the slow, side-to-side S-swimming motion anglers want from a glide bait, without requiring the largest specialized setup for the smaller model. Its soft PVC tail adds movement behind the body, while three size classes let you choose a baitfish profile that fits the fish and conditions you are trying to match.

Choose the 135 for a 5 1/2-inch, 1 oz presentation, the 165 for a 6 1/2-inch, 1 3/4 oz profile, or the 205 for an 8-inch, 3 oz bait. The color lineup includes shad, bluegill, trout, bone, chartreuse, Hitch, and Dirty Silver Flash patterns.

Why This Glide Bait Works

A glide bait earns its keep when a steady retrieve needs to look alive without a frantic wobble. The Glide Swimmer's S-motion gives the bait a wide, readable path through the water, and the soft PVC tail continues the movement behind the body. It is an approachable way to fish a larger baitfish profile, especially when you choose the size to match your tackle and target.

Give Predators a Bigger Baitfish Target

Small lures are not always the answer. When fish are willing to track a larger meal or you want to show them a profile that can be seen from farther away, a glide bait gives you a different tool. The challenge is keeping that larger presentation natural. The Glide Swimmer addresses it with a controlled S-swimming action instead of a straight, lifeless pull.

Built for Glide-Bait Presentations

• Freshwater swimbait fishing when you want a larger baitfish profile
• Steady retrieves that let the S-motion do the work
• Size matching across 135, 165, and 205 models
• Color matching with shad, bluegill, trout, bone, and other baitfish patterns
• Open-water and structure-oriented retrieves where you can watch the bait's path
• Anglers who want a glide bait option from a manageable 1 oz size through a 3 oz presentation

The Right Pick If...

• You want a glide bait with a clear, repeatable S-swimming motion.
• You need more than one size so you can match your tackle and baitfish profile.
• You prefer a soft PVC tail that adds movement behind the body.
• You want a larger freshwater presentation without starting with the 3 oz model.
• You fish color patterns that resemble shad, bluegill, trout, or other common forage profiles.

What It Does Best, and When to Choose Something Else

The Glide Swimmer is strongest when the goal is a larger, controlled baitfish presentation with a deliberate side-to-side action. Choose another bait when you need a topwater wake, a fast vibrating retrieve, a compact finesse profile, or a lure designed specifically for deep vertical fishing. This is a glide bait, so its strength is the swim and track, not frantic speed.

How to Fish It

Start with a steady retrieve and let the bait establish its S-motion. Keep the rod and retrieve speed consistent long enough to see how the bait tracks, then experiment with pauses and speed changes. A controlled pause can let the bait slow or turn before you resume the retrieve, while a slightly faster pace can help you cover water when fish are willing to chase.

Choose the size before choosing the color. The 135 is the most manageable entry point at 1 oz, the 165 adds profile and weight at 1 3/4 oz, and the 205 gives you the largest 8-inch, 3 oz presentation. Use gear and line appropriate for the selected bait weight.

Best Conditions

Reach for the Glide Swimmer when fish are willing to follow a larger baitfish silhouette or when you want a moving target that can be tracked through open water and around structure. The smaller 135 suits lighter swimbait work, while the 165 and 205 are better choices when you want more profile and can support the additional weight with your tackle.

• Broad color selection: Current variants include shad, bluegill, trout, bone, Hitch, and flash patterns.

Size & Dimensions

Choose the model by body length and bait weight first, then select the color that fits your forage and visibility needs.

Tackle Express Tips

• Watch the bait beside the boat or bank before making a full cast. Confirm the S-motion and track before you start changing retrieve speed.
• Match the model to your gear first. Moving from 135 to 165 or 205 changes both the profile and the weight you are asking your rod to cast.
• Use a steady retrieve as your baseline. Add pauses and speed changes only after you know how the bait responds at a consistent pace.

FAQ

What is the Savage Gear Glide Swimmer's action?
It is designed to produce an S-swimming motion on the retrieve, with a soft PVC tail that adds movement behind the bait.

Owner Hyper Ball Bearing Swivels are what goes between your main line and leader when line twist isn't an option. Rated from 100 lb (Size 3) to 400 lb (Size 8), built from stainless steel with a black chrome finish, and engineered with a precision ball bearing that keeps spinning smoothly under the sustained load of a running fish — these are the swivels you reach for when the application demands reliability, not luck.

Spins Under Load. Standard Swivels Don't.

A barrel swivel looks functional sitting on a tackle shop peg. Under the rotational pressure of a live bait, a trolled lure, or a fish doing barrel rolls on the surface, it seizes. The Owner Hyper uses a precision ball bearing inside the housing that maintains free rotation even under heavy tension — which is exactly when you need it most. Line twist ruins leaders, weakens connections, and tangles rigs. The Hyper eliminates the source.

Where Barrel Swivels Fall Short

Barrel swivels are fine for light applications where rotation load is minimal. Put one on a fast-spinning live mackerel, a high-speed trolling lure, or a deep jig on a long drop, and the swivel body seizes under tension — your line twists anyway, and you've got a false sense of protection. Owner's ball bearing mechanism is rated to spin freely even under the sustained load of a hard-fighting fish, which is the only condition that actually matters.

What Sets Them Apart

• Precision Ball Bearing — Maintains free 360° rotation under load; doesn't seize under tension like barrel swivels
• Stainless Steel Construction — Black chrome finish resists corrosion in saltwater and stands up to repeated offshore use
• High Strength Range — Size 3 (100 lb) through Size 8 (400 lb) covers everything from inshore leaders to heavy trolling rigs
• Welded Stainless Rings — Both connection rings are welded closed; no opening under load, no knot slippage
• Compact Profile — Low-drag body doesn't create a pressure wake or spook fish at speed
• Owner Japanese Engineering — Consistent tolerance and finish across every unit in the pack

The Right Pick If…

• You troll lures or live bait and need a swivel that actually spins under tension
• You target tuna, marlin, wahoo, or billfish where line twist on a long fight is catastrophic
• You jig deep and need a swivel that handles the spin coming off a fast-fall jig
• You run live bait rigs for yellowtail, striped bass, or king mackerel
• You want to replace weak or corroded barrel swivels with something rated for your actual leader strength

Best Fishing Techniques

• Offshore trolling — Sizes 5–7 between main line and leader on high-speed trolling spreader bars and cedar plugs
• Live bait fishing — Sizes 3–5 prevent kite and flat-line live baits from twisting the leader during long swims
• Vertical jigging — Size 3–4 between braid and fluorocarbon leader; prevents twist transferred from fast-fall and slow-pitch jigs
• Bottom fishing — Size 4–5 on knocker rigs and Carolina rigs; keeps the leader clean on multi-drop trips
• Musky and pike trolling — Sizes 3–4 handle freshwater big-game applications

Best Conditions

• Offshore saltwater — primary application; black chrome stainless handles repeated exposure
• High-speed trolling — ball bearing stays functional at speed where barrel swivels fail
• Long fights with large pelagics — sustained rotational load is where the ball bearing earns its keep
• Deep jigging — fast-fall jigs generate significant twist on the drop that a barrel swivel can't clear

Best For

• Sizes 3–4 (100–125 lb) — Inshore leaders, live bait rigs, light offshore jigging, musky and pike
• Sizes 5–6 (160–190 lb) — Offshore trolling leaders, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, large yellowtail
• Sizes 7–8 (300–400 lb) — Heavy billfish rigging, marlin, spreader bars, heavy stand-up tackle

Models & Specs

Specs are loaded dynamically from product metafields. Available: Size 3 (5158-031, 100 lb, Qty 5), Size 4 (5158-041, 125 lb, Qty 5), Size 5 (5158-051, 160 lb, Qty 5), Size 6 (5158-061, 190 lb, Qty 4), Size 7 (300 lb, Qty 3), Size 8 (400 lb, Qty 3).

Tackle Express Tips

• Size to your leader, not your main line. The swivel only needs to be rated at or above your leader strength — not your braid. Most inshore and nearshore applications are covered by Size 3–4. Go to Size 5–6 for offshore yellowfin and wahoo. Reserve Size 7–8 for heavy marlin and billfish setups.
• Rinse after every saltwater trip. Ball bearing mechanisms hold up well in salt, but the bearing housing can trap salt crystals if left unrinsed. A quick freshwater rinse after each trip keeps the rotation smooth for seasons, not just months.
• Use a loop-to-loop or Bimini connection on the main line side. Direct clinch knots on heavy braid put localized pressure on the swivel ring under load. A Bimini twist or double-line connection distributes that load more evenly and maximizes the rated strength of the swivel.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between a ball bearing swivel and a barrel swivel?
A: A barrel swivel uses a simple pin-through-barrel mechanism that can seize under tension. A ball bearing swivel uses a ring of small steel balls inside the housing that maintain free rotation even under heavy load. For light freshwater applications, a barrel swivel is fine. For anything involving sustained rotational pressure — trolling, live bait, deep jigging — a ball bearing swivel is the correct tool.

Q: Do I need a snap swivel or a straight swivel?
A: For most applications, a straight ball bearing swivel with a separate snap or split ring gives you more flexibility and a cleaner connection. Snap swivels add a potential failure point at the snap. Use a straight Hyper Ball Bearing Swivel and attach your lure or leader with a quality snap or direct knot.

Q: Are these rated for fluorocarbon leaders?
A: Yes. The welded stainless rings accept all standard knots — Palomar, clinch, uni-to-uni — in both monofilament and fluorocarbon. For heavy fluoro leaders (80 lb+), use a non-slip loop knot or snell connection to preserve as much knot strength as possible.
