Hard Body Swimbaits

The Baitsanity Antidote 7 Glide Baits appeared on the swimbait scene just a few years ago with their Explorer Series swimbaits, starting with their Trout and Carp Explorers. These custom baits quickly found a home in the hands of big bait anglers looking for a full sized glide bait option that wasn’t as expensive as JDM imports like the Deps Slide Swimmer or Roman Made Negotiator. 

That swimbait is the Baitsanity Antidote, a Glide Bait that is crafted with an ABS Resin body for increased durability. The Antidote Glide Swimbait has a highly detailed air brushed paint job along with a single joint construction, with allows the Antidote Glide to swim Side-To-Side with a seductive “S” action that trophy sized bass can’t resist.

We've fished this bait several times and we're very impressed with the versatility.  On a slow wind, the bait will stay just under the water's surface creating a wake behind the bait.  We've found that this in often times what creates a strike.  A slow steady retrieve without popping the rod has been the most productive.   

The summer before the weeds grow too thick, the bait should be incredible.  Due to it's ability to stay in the first 6 inches of the water column, fishing this over grass or stickups makes this bait very unique.

The Baitsanity Antidote TUG Glide Bait features Baitsanity’s premier Glide-Leap system that relies on a sliding weight to allow the bait to leap to the surface on an aggressive twitch and swim underwater on a steady retrieve. This system gives anglers the ability to target fish with explosive topwater action, or transition to a more traditional subsurface gliding motion which puts uniquely comprehensive control in the angler’s hands.

The Baitsanity Antidote TUG Glide Bait also comes outfitted with ground-breaking auxiliary features that take it to a whole new level. Just over the premium front treble hook anglers will find a set of carbon fiber fins. Situated near the rear hook are Baitsanity’s new removable, custom Fish Knits fins that are perfect for absorbing scent and creating micro bubbles on the retrieve. The tail of the TUG is buoyant and houses a layer of carbon fiber that is carefully crafted to help the glider maintain perfect balance and slowly float toward the surface. 

• Glide-Leap System for versatile topwater and subsurface action
  
• Fish Knits fins hold scent and can be removed for washing or replacement
  
• Carbon fiber pectoral fins guard against hook rash

A must-have for all big bait enthusiasts, the Baitsanity Explorer Gill Glide Bait delivers an ultra-realistic bluegill profile and an unrivaled action that big bass simply can’t resist. Molded with an anatomically correct profile and details, the Baitsanity Explorer Gill Glide Bait features a single joint construction, which generates a wide side-to-side “S” swimming action that draws the curiosity of fish and triggers ferocious strikes.

It also features silicone attachments on the inside of the joints to reduce noise as it glides back and forth for a more natural presentation that will fool even the most discerning of bass. Adding to its realism, the 3D scales feature a three-level grain design, which is a progression of texturing that adds more depth to make the bait look more lifelike.

Moving down to the back end, the Baitsanity Explorer Gill Glide Bait features a patent pending tail connection system, which allows anglers to change the stock tail out with different tail styles to create different actions or simply replace old worn-out tails to keep that bait in tip top condition. Armed with a set of premium treble hooks that are ready to chase trophy-caliber bass right out of the package, the Baitsanity Explorer Gill Glide Bait offers a deadly bluegill imitation that will help you catch your next PB.

Specs

The Baitsanity Explorer Glide Gen 2 features a hard plastic body with an ultra-soft, replaceable tail section. It also has soft rubber fins on its sides and has a life-like gliding action that is sure to get bit. This glide bait has an incredible action that draws fish.  

We've fished it and done very well at our Southern California Lakes. It swims great at slow speeds which is what usually get's strikes for us.  If you need a faster retrieve it still shines and won't roll.  

For the action, durability, and price, you can't beat this glide style bait. Comes with one replacement tail.  The generation 2 has an improved tail that won't fall out and is more durable.

The Deps Bullshooter 160 is a work of art on all levels.  This realistic looking swimbait has a killer finish and a great size for medium to huge bass. We are impressed with the construction and the way the bait swims.  Deps hit a home run with this bait and we have high hopes for some giants in our future.

The Deps Silent Killer is a deadly trout bait imitating bait and a “silent killer” created by a completely new manufacturing method, which is different from all other big baits.

The body is covered with a subliminated material that includes a hollow core made of ABS resin and a realistic soft shell. This big bait has a unique soft sound and soft vibration and texture that is as close to the real thing as possible.

It can be fished along the surface, deadsticked or even with a cranking retrieve. Great for targeting the biggest bass that need to take a second look to commit, and great for creating memories and establish a tank of a new Personal Best.

ABS CORE BODY

The ABS hollow-core body allows for crisp and sharp gliding action and allows the bait to feature a micro spring weight inside of the bait for added appeal. The weight is added outside of the front core and lets you easily tune the lure and adjust the weight by removing the soft shell.

SPRING WEIGHT MICRO VIBE SYSTEM

The spring weight system is mounted on the head and produces micro-vibrations each time the weight is shaken. This helps to trigger bites with a knocking sound that is created when the lure is retrieved.

POLYCARBONATE LIP

 The wide polycarbonate lip is very strong and the coffin shape helps to avoid snags. It will dive like a crankbait and create a powerful vibration.

HOOK (175: # 1/145: # 3)

The hooks have a smooth surface for better hook presentation. This hook was carefully selected because of the size of the bass that bite this lure and the tin color helps to camouflage the hook against the belly of the bait. For added attraction, you can replace the stock hooks with feathered trebles to give it a more natural look, especially in current.

The Deps Tiny Bullshooter, a small and compact 100mm sized bait with the same features as its' larger predecessor. The Tiny Bullshooter allows you to better match the size of small bluegill and other panfish. Fish it around weeds and other places where baby gills live to temp wary bass.

The original Bullshooter is so effective because of the water displacement from the jointed body and the Tiny Bullshootter keeps the same qualities, but in a smaller package. It has a fish drawing action even with a straight retrieve, but with the right action, it can achieve a weaving, roaming movement and turn and do a 180-degree turn to get fish to bite.

Slow Sinking Model

Length: 100mm

Weight: 1oz

Type: Silent

Features:

Pectoral fins made of a durable PVC material that sticks to the body during the retrieve and when stopped, it moves and hovers like live bluegill.

Belly fin is shaped like a horizontal tail and helps to prevent snags and also helps to stabilize the bait and give it more action.

Hooks are Size #5 and extremely sharp with a smooth coating to penetrate better. They have a tin colored finish that helps to camouflage the hooks with the belly of the bait. Adding a feathered hook will help to fool pressured bass and add some added attraction, especially in current.

Action:

A straight retrieve gives the bait a solid vibration due to the flat sides of the bait. If you utilize a “stop and go” retrieve, you can make it appear as if the bait is swimming along and wandering away from cover. You can also create a unique feeding action by getting the bait to turn back 180-degrees to trigger bites from followers.

High-temperature caution

Take caution to where you store your baits as they can become deformed or cracked due to the expansion of the air during high temperatures. Keep them out of direct sunlight and in hot places like the inside of vehicles or tackle boxes stored during the warmer months as we are not responsible for damages caused due to storing lures in high temperatures.

The G-Ratt Baits Pistol Pete Swimbaits weighs 1.2 ounces and is a slow sinking bait. This is a very unique glide bait. You can slow retrieve it for a nice gliding action. You can swoop the rod tip for the bait to glide to one side and pause and swoop again to bring it back to the other side. A favorite retrieve is reel cranking it to make a very fast darting action back and forth like a fleeing baitfish. You can do little twitches of the rod with just the tip of the rod while reeling and the baits head will rock left to right which will imitate a swimming baitfish.

The bait can also be “waked” on a slow retrieve when brought to the surface. It has a beautiful tight subtle rolling wake which we’ve found effective early mornings and late evenings. Our new weighting system adds a realistic rattling sound. This bait has a slow sinking ratio of 1 foot in 2-3 seconds. The Pistol Pete comes equipped with two size 4 hooks. The hooks can be changed if desired. The tails are easily replaceable. 

Pistol Pete is a scaled-down version of Sneaky Pete. Coming complete with strong components, rotating hook hangers and 3X hooks to ensure you land more fish! Pistol Pete is weighted with steel bearings to produce a nice rattling sound to help enhance that big bite!

The Jointed Claw is a hard bodied, jointed swimbait which displays a wide "S" action swimming motion. Gan Craft designed the Jointed Claw to target big bass providing a large profile capable of imitating only the largest forage species such as trout, shad and hitch. Combining the realistic appearance, large size and seductive swimming action, the 178 size delivers the ideal presentation for hunting down giant bass.

The Jointed Claw 178 displays a smooth, wide side to side swimming action with a slow retrieve - the bait makes its' way through the water like the pied piper getting bass's attention and eventually convincing them to strike. In clear water you can see shadows approaching and typically, without hesitation, engulfing the bait.

While the steady, slow retrieve is perhaps the most widely used - this bait isn't a one trick pony. Anglers can employ any number of retrieve speed and impart twitches to achieve a more erratic display. The Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 can do it all.
