Quick take
A saltwater jerkbait with internal weighting and hinged tail for long-distance casting and erratic fleeing-fish action on flats.
The Speed Glide 100 is a jerkbait of about 4 inches, made to imitate a fleeing baitfish, with a hinged tail that gives an erratic action when you jerk, pause or speed up the retrieve. Its heavy internal weighting helps it cast a long way, and the Bluegill Fire finish pairs with realistic 3D eyes and gill detail. On a steady retrieve it snakes side to side just under the surface, which suits bass anglers working shallow cover.
Best for
- Inshore saltwater flats fishing for redfish and speckled trout
- Situations requiring long-distance casts to reach distant fish
- Working current edges and shorelines with varied jerk-and-pause retrieves
Skip if
- You need a topwater popper; this glides subsurface on jerks
- You fish tight quarters where short-distance accuracy matters more than casting distance
Strengths
- Heavy internal weighting reaches distant fish and works hard current
- Hinged tail produces realistic fleeing-fish action when jerked
- Hard plastic body resists damage from sharp saltwater structures
Trade-offs
- Requires active, rhythmic jerking; passive retrieves lose effectiveness
- Saltwater use demands immediate rinsing; corrosion will damage the mechanism
- Heavy 7/8 oz load can tire your arm on extended casting sessions

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
