AaronM Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 In the new In-fisherman, they go over the use of glide baits for northerns. Specifically, has anyone used the Salmo slider or fatso with any success? Interesting read for those of you who haven't read it yet, but something I'm looking forward to trying this summer. Thoughts?

NCLaker Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I picked up a 6" Phantom with curly tail at Blue Ribbon Bait - for musky fishing. The sales guy said it catches a lot of Northern Pike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 If a Suick with a vertical motion drives the pike mad, then something with a side to side action can't do a whole lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sliders catch pike as do wades wobblers. Hellhounds, Phantoms ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-water Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I had some decent luck with the sub-walk. However if I remember right it went deeper than I thought it would (wanted to use it over submerged weeds, didn't really work that way.

Random guy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Come fall "glide baits" make up a huge part of my arsenal. Love them right down the weed edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustmoboy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I catch a few northerns on Phantoms but my big northerns consistantly come on Bitten Tackle Warlocks. They are my favorite glide bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrooks Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I seem to catch the most northerns muskyfishing with a wabull perch pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budiva Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 When using gliders how fast do you typically work the bait? Just curious what works for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustmoboy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 How fast I work it depends on the conditions but I normally work them medium to fast I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porterhouse Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I catch alot of Pike on hellhounds. A few summers ago I caught 3 different Pike on 3 straight cast while using a hellhound.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
