WHEN TO USE EACH GLIDE BAIT I really like to use the Chad Shad when the fish are a little more aggressive, when Im wanting to work the bait through dense cover and when I need to make accurate casts

I'm seeing calipers as low as 6 bucks on Amazon, some at Home Depot for about 10 bucks, and others online up to about 30 bucks

What I always recommend is that you invest in a decent entry-level reel from a manufacturer with a brand name they stand behind

Crankbaits, jerkbaits, all manner of soft plastics and a huge range of surface lures are on offer

#5 Deckhand grips, for all the reasons above, are one of best things to come out of California IMHO

If you learn how to sling-shot cast, or be a dapper or jigger effectively while staying away from the creek you are fishing, you can catch a lot more fish
