The G-Ratt Baits Sneaky Pete 2.0 is an upgraded evolution of the legendary Sneaky Pete glide bait, re-tooled for enhanced realism, performance, and fish-attracting appeal. This premium slow-sinking glide bait brings new life to one of the most trusted designs in big-fish angling, featuring a fully modernized 3D-sculpted body with detailed gill plates, natural 3D eyes, and refined proportions for a hyper-realistic baitfish imitation.

Key Specifications:

• Length: Approximately 8 inches (refined from the original for better presence and action).
• Weight: ~2.5 oz (optimized balance for smoother glides and versatility).
• Buoyancy/Action: Slow-sinking (consistent rate of about 1 foot every 2–3 seconds), with flawless response to rod inputs—producing wide, seductive side-to-side glides on simple twitches, erratic injured-baitfish darts on quick reels/pauses, tight rolling wakes on slow retrieves, or burning fast for fleeing prey imitation.
• Features: Subtle built-in knocking/rattling sound from the advanced weighting system (calls fish from distance without spooking), custom-molded replaceable soft-rubber tail for lifelike movement and easy maintenance, heavy-duty hardware including 360° rotating hook hangers, sticky-sharp treble hooks (often BKK or equivalent strong models), and premium construction built to handle trophy predators like largemouth bass, striped bass, snook, pike, muskie, and more.

The 2.0 version maintains the original's legendary versatility—glide, crank, twitch, burn, or wake it—while delivering upgraded realism on the pause to trigger more reaction strikes. It's engineered for serious anglers chasing bigger fish in freshwater or inshore scenarios, with tight tolerances and durability that stand up to heavy use.

Measuring 126mm (approximately 5 inches / 4.9") and weighing 1 oz, this floating glide bait delivers the smooth, responsive action typically seen in much larger swimbaits—making it ideal for targeting bass, pike, musky, and other predatory fish when downsizing is key.

Out of the box, the Glideway 126 runs as a slow-floating bait, allowing versatile presentations from surface walks to depths of 10-12 feet with a variable sink rate. It features tunable weighting (includes sticker weights for slow-sink or ultra-slow-sink setups), letting anglers customize the fall rate and suspending behavior for precise control. The bait excels with a smooth, controlled S-swim glide, extreme responsiveness, electric reactive rhythm, and stable tracking on any retrieve speed—whether twitched aggressively or worked slowly.
