The Savage Gear 3D Shine Glide 185 is a slow sinking erratic swimming glide bait. These baits have been deadly on a multitude of game fish from largemouth bass to musky. On a slow retrieve the bait glides from side to side. A pop of the rod tip will increase the darting action. Deadly on a twitch and stop retrieve.

We like to fish this bait slowly with a steady retrieve but there are times when we twitch the rod tip.  It washes out if its fished too quickly and we usually get bit on a slow and steady retrieve.  Another favorite method is to start twitching it as soon as it hits the surface.  A slow methodical upward pump of the rod tip while slowly turning the handle makes this bait flop back and forth on the surface.  Keeping this going can keep the bait in the strike zone longer, giving the fish an irresistible presentation.  

We fish the Savage Gear 3D Roach Shine Glide 185mm on 20lb line with a medium fast action 7'6" rod.  Try one out, we think you'll like it.

Savage Gear Pulse Tail Shiner LB Swimbaits are very realistic as close as you can get to fishing live bait.

The. are designed with a “loosebody” for ease in changing out hooks and for better hook up ratio, which allows anglers to seamlessly thread a hook through the baits split belly, creating a truly weedless presentation.

Savage Gear Pulse Tail Bluegill RTF 4" Swimbait catch bass to redfish, Northern pike to speckled trout, many predators rely on some blend of vision and smell to locate prey; but across the board, vibration and water displacement play a significant role in forage location.

Comprising the Pulse Tail Bluegill, Pulse Tail Shiner, Pulse Tail Mullet and Pulse Tail Baitfish, this innovative lineup excels at stimulating a predator’s feeding instinct. The first three baits are designed after particular forage, while the Pulse Tail Baitfish presents a more broadly applicable form that easily resembles a wide range of freshwater and saltwater forage species. For each of these models, the split rear fin design creates a realistic pulse swimming action that mimics the surge of a fleeing forage fish.

The Glide Bait That Triggers Reaction Strikes

The Savage Gear Shine Glide Pro is a premium hard-body glide bait engineered to produce the wide, sweeping S-curves that big bass and striped bass simply cannot ignore. With a holographic finish that catches every angle of light and a perfectly tuned internal weight system, this bait glides, pauses, and darts with the kind of lifelike action that separates it from the pack. Whether you're working it on a long sweep-and-pause or a subtle twitch, the Shine Glide Pro delivers the flash and movement that triggers reaction strikes from trophy-class fish.

Built for Big Fish, Big Water

Available in two sizes — 135mm (5.25") and 160mm (6.25") — the Shine Glide Pro is purpose-built for targeting large predatory fish. The 135mm is ideal for pressured fisheries and finesse glide presentations, while the 160mm is your go-to when you want to throw a big profile bait and call up the largest fish in the system. Both sizes feature through-wire construction and heavy-duty split rings and hooks to handle the punishment of big fish in heavy cover.

Why Glide Bait Action Wins

Glide baits excel because they give fish a long look at a large, realistic profile while the side-to-side glide mimics a wounded or fleeing baitfish. The Shine Glide Pro's holographic body amplifies this with a flash-and-shimmer effect that's visible at distance in both clear and stained water. The slow sink rate keeps the bait in the strike zone longer, and the pause-and-dart retrieve triggers fish that are following but won't commit.

Advantages That Set It Apart

• Holographic finish for maximum flash and visibility
• Precision-tuned internal weight system for consistent glide action
• Through-wire construction for big-fish durability
• Slow-sink design keeps bait in the strike zone
• Two sizes cover a wide range of conditions and target species
• 11 proven color patterns matched to real forage species

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting trophy largemouth, smallmouth, or striped bass
• You fish clear to lightly stained water where flash and profile matter
• You want a bait that works on a sweep-and-pause, twitch, or straight slow retrieve
• You're fishing reservoirs, lakes, or open-water structure where big baits call up big fish
• You want a premium glide bait with proven Savage Gear engineering

Best Fishing Techniques

• Sweep & Pause: Long rod sweep followed by a pause — the bait glides wide and then slowly sinks, triggering strikes on the fall
• Twitch & Dart: Short, sharp twitches to make the bait dart erratically — great for triggering following fish
• Slow Straight Retrieve: Steady slow wind to keep the bait swimming with a subtle side-to-side roll
• Deadstick: Cast and let the bait sink slowly on a slack line — deadly in cold water or post-front conditions

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where the holographic finish can do its work
• Water temps 50°F–75°F when fish are active and willing to chase a large profile bait

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the hatch: In shad-heavy fisheries, start with Sexy Shad or Threadfin. In bluegill-heavy lakes, Bluegill and Baby Bass are hard to beat.
• Go heavy on the rod: Use a 7'6"–8' heavy or extra-heavy casting rod with 20–30 lb fluorocarbon or 50–65 lb braid for the best glide action and hook-setting power on big fish.
• Slow down in cold water: The colder the water, the longer your pause. In water below 55°F, let the bait sit for 5–10 seconds before your next sweep — big fish need more time to commit.

FAQ

What rod and line setup works best with the Shine Glide Pro?
A 7'6"–8' heavy casting rod paired with 20–30 lb fluorocarbon is ideal for the 135mm. For the 160mm, step up to a heavy or extra-heavy rod with 50–65 lb braid for maximum casting distance and control.

Does the Shine Glide Pro work for striped bass?
Yes — the 160mm size is particularly effective for striped bass in open water, reservoirs, and tailraces. The large profile and holographic flash are excellent for calling up big stripers.

What's the difference between the 135mm and 160mm?
The 135mm is a more versatile size that works well in a wider range of conditions and is great for pressured fish. The 160mm is a big-bait presentation designed to target the largest fish in the system and is best when fish are actively feeding on large forage.
