Swimbait Lures

The Swimbait Republic Glideway 236 Glide Bait puts a substantial baitfish profile in your big-bait lineup. Measuring 236mm (9.3 inches) and weighing 150g (5.3 oz), this jointed hard swimbait is a deliberate choice for anglers targeting largemouth bass and striped bass with larger presentations. Its two-piece body, sculpted gill detail and textured sides give you a detailed profile to work around open-water forage and structure edges.

A Bigger Profile, Not an Everyday Casting Bait

Choose the Glideway 236 when you want to offer a larger meal rather than downsize for numbers. Its size is the appeal, but it also calls for dedicated tackle: use a rod whose lure rating comfortably includes 5.3 oz and a reel and line suited to heavy swimbaits. It is not a substitute for a smaller bait on light tackle or where short, confined casts are your only option.

Give It Room to Work

Best for big-bait bass fishing, deliberate glide-bait retrieves and covering open lanes beside points, dock edges and submerged structure. Start with a steady retrieve where you can see the lure, then experiment with short reel turns and pauses to learn its response before fishing it farther out. Keep the bait clear of snag-prone cover while you establish how it behaves on your setup.

In clear water, use visibility to watch the bait and any following fish. With wind ripple or reduced visibility, consider a finish that is easier to track. Match local forage where possible, then adjust your presentation to the fish rather than assuming one retrieve suits every day.

Details That Define the 236

• Large profile: 236mm (9.3 inches) long.
• Substantial lure weight: 150g (5.3 oz) for a dedicated big-bait setup.
• Jointed body: two sections with a visible central connection.
• Baitfish detailing: sculpted gill plates, prominent eyes and scale-textured sides.
• Seven finish choices: Offspring #2, Lavender Syrup #3, After Party #9, Halley #11, Greenadey #13, Supernatural V2 #14 and EO Trout #31.

Glideway 236 at a Glance

Choose Your Profile, Then Your Finish

Start with the size of the forage you want to represent. If a smaller presentation is a better fit, compare the Swimbait Republic Glideway 126. For another hard-swimbait option to compare in your lineup, take a look at the G-Ratt Baits Sneaky Pete 2.0.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check your rod's printed lure rating before making the first cast. A 5.3 oz bait needs more capacity than many standard bass rods provide.
• Make a few short, visible retrieves first. Observe the bait on your chosen line before adding longer pauses or fishing close to cover.
• Inspect your knot, line and attachment hardware regularly, especially after contact with rock, dock posts or a fish.

Questions Before Your First Cast

How large is the Glideway 236?
It measures 236mm (9.3 inches) and weighs 150g (5.3 oz).

Can I fish it on a standard bass rod?
Only if that rod's lure rating includes this weight. Choose a dedicated swimbait setup rated to handle 5.3 oz comfortably, rather than exceeding your rod's stated range.

When should I choose it over a smaller glide bait?
Choose the 236 when you want a substantial baitfish profile and have both the tackle and casting room to fish a large swimbait. A smaller glide bait is a more practical choice when downsizing or using lighter tackle.

Watch the Glideway

The Deps Slide Swimmer 300 puts a true giant-bait profile in front of trophy bass. At 300 mm (11.8 inches) and 10 oz, this floating glide bait combines the Slide Swimmer series' soft outer shell with a powerful, jointed swimming action. It is the largest model in the Deps Slide Swimmer trophy-bass lineup, made for anglers who would rather commit to a big-fish presentation than downsize for more bites.

A steady retrieve produces a smooth S-shaped swim, while twitches and short jerks add abrupt changes of direction. The substantial body moves plenty of water, giving you a large-forage presentation for fish feeding on trout or shad. Hooks are not included. Choose hooks and hardware for your target species, and check the finished bait's balance before fishing.

Give Big Fish a Meal Worth Following

When smaller offerings do not match the forage you are seeing, the 300 offers a much larger silhouette without relying on a fast retrieve. Its soft shell adds lifelike texture and cushions contact between the body sections. The trade-off is commitment: this is a specialized giant swimbait that requires appropriately rated tackle, casting room, and patience. Choose it for deliberate trophy hunting, not as an everyday bait for light gear or tight cover.

Best For Big-Forage Water

Best for trophy largemouth bass, open-water glide-bait presentations, and working outside points, offshore structure, and baitfish travel routes with room for the lure to turn. Clear to moderately clear water is a useful starting point for watching the bait and following fish. Select the Hatchery Trout finish when matching trout forage, or a shad finish when matching local shad. Let the forage and fish response guide the choice rather than treating any color as a guarantee.

What Makes the 300 Different

• Giant 300 mm profile: a substantial presentation for anglers targeting trophy-class predators.
• Soft-shell construction: combines a rigid core with a flexible exterior for distinctive texture and movement.
• Spring-weight micro-vibration system: head-mounted weights add subtle vibration and a knocking sound during rod input.
• Water-through duct: channels water between the core and shell and releases it at the joint.
• Bumper fins: help stabilize the action and reduce hook tangles.
• Floating design: allows hook selection to suit the application; installed hardware affects the finished balance.
• Three Butch Brown finishes: Gizzard Shad #18, Hatchery Trout #19, and American Shad #38.

Models & Specs

Start Smooth, Then Change the Cadence

Begin with a steady retrieve where you can see the bait and learn how it swims with your chosen hardware. Add a short twitch or measured reel turn to change direction, then give the lure room to finish its movement. When a fish follows, vary one thing at a time instead of immediately speeding up. Use a rod rated for the complete rigged lure weight, a suitable reel, and line appropriate for giant-bait casting.

If you want a smaller presentation within the same family, compare the Deps Slide Swimmer 250. For a further step down in profile, consider the Deps Slide Swimmer 175. The 300 is the choice when a giant silhouette is the point of the presentation.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check flotation and swimming balance in the water after installing or changing hooks and split rings. Do not assume every hardware combination will behave the same way.
• Make controlled casts with tackle rated for the rigged bait, and inspect your line, knots, and hardware regularly.
• Dry the bait after use and store it separately in a supportive case. Avoid direct heat, hot vehicles, and contact with other lures that could damage or discolor the shell.

Before You Rig It

Does the Slide Swimmer 300 include hooks?
No. It is supplied without hooks so you can select hardware for your target fish. Deps lists #3/0 treble hooks and #5 split rings as a starting recommendation for black bass; test the complete setup before fishing.

Is it floating or slow sinking?
This 300 model is classified as floating. Hook size, wire thickness, and other added hardware can change its balance and buoyancy.

What retrieve should I start with?
Start with a straight retrieve for a smooth S-shaped swim, then try short twitches or jerks to introduce a directional change. Watch the lure respond before adding more input.

Can I throw it on my regular bass rod?
Use the rod manufacturer's lure rating as your guide. This is a 10 oz bait before your chosen hardware, so it needs a setup designed to cast the complete rigged weight.

Product Specifications:

The Shimano Gravitator 220SS Glidebait is Shimano's groundbreaking entry into the big-bass glide bait category for 2025, delivering next-level performance, unmatched casting distance, and customizable action in an affordable, high-tech package. Measuring 8 2/3 inches (220mm) and weighing 3 3/8 oz (95g), this slow-sinking glide bait is engineered to mimic large, vulnerable forage while covering water efficiently and triggering explosive strikes from trophy largemouth and smallmouth.

At the core is Shimano's innovative ARMABOOST technology — a revolutionary folding mechanism that collapses the lure's double-jointed body into a more aerodynamic profile during the cast. This slashes air resistance, boosts flight distance by up to 35%, and minimizes unwanted spinning for laser-accurate, long-distance presentations that reach distant structure, weed edges, or schooling fish without sacrificing control.

Key performance features include:

• Action Modifying Insert — A removable insert lets you dial in the action on the fly: insert it for a wider, broader glide with sweeping side-to-side sweeps ideal for open water or cold fronts; remove it for a tighter, choppier wiggle that excels in pressured scenarios or when bass want a more aggressive darting motion.
• FLASH BOOST (select colors) — Internally suspended foil creates a flashing secondary action that continues even on the pause, drawing follows into committed blows.
• SCALE BOOST (select colors) — Realistic 3D holographic scaling enhances visual appeal and imitation of real baitfish.
• Dual line tie options — Tie to the lower eye for a subsurface glide or the upper for a near-surface walk-and-pause presentation that mimics a dying shad on top.
• Premium hardware — Equipped with sticky-sharp treble hooks and additional interchangeable tails for fine-tuning action from subtle to aggressive.
• Slow-sinking design — Suspends perfectly in the strike zone, allowing long pauses that provoke reaction strikes from following or suspended bass.

This versatile glide bait shines in big-bait scenarios: slow-rolling over grass flats, working points and ledges in fall or spring, targeting post-spawn giants, or burning it for reaction bites in warmer water. Part of Shimano's complete Big Bass System, it pairs seamlessly with heavy swimbait rods, high-capacity reels, and 20-30 lb fluorocarbon or braid setups.

Available in tempting colors that imitate shad, perch, trout, and more, the Gravitator 220SS brings premium Japanese engineering and customization to glide bait fishing without the premium price tag. Whether you're new to big baits or a seasoned swimbait angler, this lure redefines what's possible — longer casts, tunable action, and big bites in one game-changing package.

Dominate the big-bass game with the Shimano Gravitator 220SS Glidebait — innovation that turns average days into trophy hunts.

The Swimbait That Works Every Way You Fish It

The Bottom Dweller Baits Shiner4 is a 4" soft swimbait built for anglers who want one bait that does it all. Whether you're slow-rolling a lead head along the bottom, running it on an A-Rig, or using it as a bladed jig trailer, the Shiner4 delivers a lifelike, fish-catching action that gets bit. Sold in 3-packs in proven color patterns, it's a staple for freshwater bass fishing and inshore calico action.

Built for Multiple Rigging Styles

The Shiner4 is engineered to perform across a wide range of presentations. Rig it on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook for a weedless setup, pair it with a lead head and 8–12lb fluorocarbon for a finesse slow-roll, or run multiple baits on an umbrella rig for a schooling baitfish effect. Its weight distribution and body profile allow seamless transitions between techniques without sacrificing action.

When Generic Swimbaits Fall Short

Most soft swimbaits are built for one technique and one technique only. The Shiner4 is different — its body taper, tail kick, and weight balance are dialed in to produce natural action whether it's swimming fast, slow-rolled near the bottom, or trailing behind a bladed jig. You get a bait that adapts to the fish, not the other way around.

Lifelike Action + Fluorocarbon Sensitivity = More Bites

Pair the Shiner4 with 8–12lb fluorocarbon and you'll feel every subtle tap and bump. The low-vis fluoro keeps the presentation natural, while the Shiner4's tail kick does the work of mimicking a fleeing baitfish. The result is a bait that looks real, feels real, and gets eaten.

The Right Pick If...

• You want one swimbait that works on a swimbait hook, lead head, A-Rig, or bladed jig
• You're targeting bass, calico, or other predatory fish in freshwater or inshore environments
• You want a proven color selection in a 3-pack value format
• You need a trailer that adds action to your bladed jig or umbrella rig

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow-rolling on a lead head near the bottom
• Weedless rigging on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook
• Alabama/umbrella rig (A-Rig) — multiple baits for a schooling effect
• Bladed jig trailer for added action and profile
• Mid-column swimming retrieve

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where a natural baitfish profile shines
• Slow to moderate retrieves when fish are lethargic or pressured
• Schooling baitfish situations — match the hatch with shad or shiner colors
• Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and rivers; inshore calico kelp fishing

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, calico bass, striped bass
• Techniques: Swimbait fishing, A-Rig, bladed jig trailer, lead head slow-roll
• Line: 8–12lb fluorocarbon recommended for lead head presentations

Key Features

• 4" soft swimbait with natural baitfish profile
• Compatible with 2/0–4/0 swimbait hooks
• Works on lead heads, A-Rigs, and bladed jigs
• Unrigged weight: ~0.5 oz
• 3 baits per pack
• Available in Hologram Shad, Sexy Shad, Big Fish, White Ghost, and Rainbow Trout

Models & Specs

Unrigged Weight: ~0.5 oz  |  Length: 4"

Tackle Express Tips

• Go lighter on the lead head in cold water. When fish are sluggish, drop to a 1/4 oz head and slow your retrieve way down — the Shiner4's tail does the work even at a crawl.
• Match the color to water clarity. Hologram Shad and White Ghost shine in clear water; Big Fish and Sexy Shad are go-tos in stained or off-color conditions.
• Use it as a bladed jig trailer for a bigger profile. Thread the Shiner4 onto your bladed jig hook for added bulk and a more pronounced tail kick — deadly when bass are keying on larger baitfish.

FAQ

What hook size should I use with the Shiner4?
A 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook is the ideal range. A 3/0 is a great all-around starting point for most presentations. Match hook size to the lead head weight and the depth you're fishing.

Can I use the Shiner4 on an umbrella rig?
Yes — the Shiner4 is an excellent A-Rig bait. Its compact 4" profile and natural tail kick create a convincing schooling baitfish effect. Run 3–5 on a standard umbrella rig frame for maximum impact.

What line should I use?
For lead head presentations, 8–12lb fluorocarbon is recommended. Fluoro's low visibility and sensitivity make it ideal for slow-rolling the Shiner4 near the bottom. For A-Rig or bladed jig use, match your main line to the technique.

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
  
• 3D scaling, gill rakers, mandibles, eyes, and fins

Yamamoto 3" Zako Swimbaits

The original Yamamoto Zako set the standard for swimbait trailers — and anglers kept asking for a smaller version. The Yamamoto 3" Zako delivers exactly that. Built in direct response to demand from pros and customers who wanted the same industry-leading Zako action in a compact profile for smaller bladed jigs and finesse applications.

Everything that makes the original great is here in a smaller package: the accordion-style tail cuts that keep action tight and baitfish-realistic, the flanged tail that folds in on itself at hookset to improve your ratio, and the center-line guide on top of the bait so you always rig it dead center and it always runs true. Whether you're throwing a small bladed jig, a finesse chatterbait, or flipping into tight cover, the 3" Zako is the trailer that stays in the zone and gets bit.

Features

• Compact 3" profile — perfect for smaller bladed jigs and finesse presentations
• Accordion-style tail cuts keep action tight and natural, like a real baitfish
• Flanged tail folds in on hookset for improved hookup ratios
• Center-line guide on top ensures dead-center rigging every time
• Designed by Elite Series pro Brett Hite
• 6 per pack

Best For

• Techniques: Bladed jig trailer, chatterbait trailer, flipping, finesse swimbait
• Conditions: Clear water, finesse situations, smallmouth, spotted bass
• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass

The Spro Rat 25 Wakebait is built for the topwater blowup every angler is chasing. Two years in development and an ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category, the Rat triggers the instinctive, reaction strike that big predator fish can't pass up.

Why Big Fish Can't Leave It Alone

Fussy fish often ignore a bait that moves too clean or too predictably. The Rat's wake and kick mimic something struggling on the surface, which flips the switch from a fish watching to a fish striking. When they're actively feeding, this is the real meal deal they're looking for.

An Updated Tail for More Action

The Rat 25 carries the newer 2022 tail design, refined to kick harder and hold its action at a slower retrieve speed than earlier versions. Paired with sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks standard on every bait, it converts more of those explosive strikes into fish in the boat.

One Bait, Five Retrieves

The Rat isn't a one-trick bait. Bulge it along just under the surface, v-wake it on a steady retrieve, walk the dog with sharp twitches, or pop it for a more aggressive commotion, covering several presentations with one lure in the box.

The Right Pick If...

You're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, or other topwater predators and want a floating bait that draws explosive surface strikes without going oversized. At 2.5 inches and 5/16 ounce, the Rat 25 is the smallest in the lineup, ideal when forage is smaller or fish are keying in on subtler surface prey.

Works best in low light, early morning, and evening when fish move shallow to feed on top, as well as any time smaller baitfish are active near the surface. Calm water shows off the wake action most clearly, though a light chop can also draw reaction strikes.

Best For

• Largemouth and smallmouth bass hunting topwater prey
• Early morning and evening surface bites
• Bulging, v-waking, walking the dog, or popping retrieves
• Anglers who want the smallest profile in the Rat lineup for subtler forage

Key Features

• ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category
• Updated 2022 tail design for improved action
• Versatile action: bulge, v-wake, walk the dog, or pop
• Sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks standard

Tackle Express Tips

• Size up to the Spro Rat 30, Spro Rat 40, or Spro Rat 50 when forage or target fish run larger.
• Match low light conditions, like early morning or dusk, with a natural pattern like Grey Ghost or Brown, and save brighter patterns like White for overcast or stained water.
• Slow your retrieve down in calm, clear conditions so the smaller profile and tail action stay believable rather than overpowering.

FAQ

How does the Rat 25 compare to the larger sizes?

What's different about the 2022 tail design?
It's refined to kick harder and hold its action better at slower retrieve speeds compared to the earlier tail design.

Does it come with hooks installed?
Yes, it ships rigged with sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks ready to fish.

The G-Ratt Baits Poppa Pete Swimbaits are a silent slow sinking glide bait weighing 5 Ounces and 10 inches in length equipped with heavy-duty hardware, size 2/0 hooks, and rotating hangers. The tails are easily replaceable. Papa Pete has a nice wide glide on slow reel cranks and then can be fished fast for an erratic baitfish action and sinks extremely slow in a level position.

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 Big Bait That Triggers Giant Bites

The Bottom Dweller Baits Shiner6 is a 6" slotted soft swimbait built to imitate the large baitfish that trophy bass and big predators key on. With a head wobble, full body roll, and a hard-thumping tail that tracks true at any speed, this is a rig-and-throw bait that does the work for you. If you're targeting quality fish over quantity, the Shiner6 belongs in your box.

Engineered for Big Bait, Big Fish Fishing

The Shiner6 is built around a slotted body design that allows it to be rigged weedless on a heavy swimbait hook with zero fuss. The extremely soft yet durable plastic gives it a lifelike flex and feel that fish don't want to let go of, while the body's action — head wobble, body roll, tail thump — works at slow crawls and faster retrieves alike. At approximately 2oz, it has the weight to cast on heavy gear and get down to where big fish live.

When Small Baits Stop Getting Big Bites

When pressured bass stop responding to finesse presentations and smaller swimbaits, it's time to upsize. The Shiner6's 6" profile triggers reaction strikes from fish that have seen every small bait in the box. Big bait, big profile, big fish — it's that simple.

Soft Enough to Feel Real. Tough Enough to Last.

Most soft swimbaits in this size range either feel too stiff to produce natural action or tear apart after a fish or two. The Shiner6 uses an extremely soft but durable plastic that survives the fight without losing its action. You get a bait that feels real on the bite and holds up through multiple fish.

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting trophy largemouth, spotted bass, or other large predators

Tackle Express Tips

• Go with the Owner Beast Hook 6/0–8/0. Bottom Dweller specifically recommends this hook for a reason — it's stout enough to handle the 2oz bait and strong enough to land big fish without straightening under pressure.
• Fish it slow. The Shiner6's action is most effective at a slow, deliberate retrieve. Let the tail thump do the work — resist the urge to speed up, especially in cold water.
• Match color to forage. Sexy Shad and Mint Silver shine in clear water; Big Fish is a go-to when bass are keying on larger, darker baitfish or in off-color conditions.

FAQ

What hook and line do you recommend for the Shiner6?
Bottom Dweller recommends the Owner Beast Hook in 6/0–8/0 paired with 15–20lb fluorocarbon line. The heavy hook handles the 2oz bait weight and the fluoro's low visibility keeps the presentation natural in clear water.

What rod should I use?
A 7'+ Heavy to Extra-Heavy rod is required for this bait. The 2oz weight demands a stout blank to load properly on the cast and set the hook effectively on big fish. A dedicated swimbait rod in the 7'6"–8' range is ideal.

How many baits come per pack?
The Shiner6 comes 1 bait per pack. At 6" and ~2oz, this is a premium big bait — each one is built to last through multiple fish thanks to the durable soft plastic construction.
