Quick take
A single-jointed ABS swimbait with soft rubber tail and internal rattle that produces an S-wave glide action.
This 7-inch jointed glide bait weighs 2.2 oz and sinks slowly, giving a big profile for larger fish. The single joint produces a wide swimming motion that you can control with pauses and reel turns. It is a fit for anglers throwing large swimbaits for bass, pike, muskie, trout and salmon.
Best for
- Bass and pike in lakes where bigger profiles trigger strikes
- Slow-sinking presentations with pauses in open water
- Anglers who target trophy-size fish
Skip if
- You fish shallow cover where a smaller lure works better
- You need a fast-sinking bait for deep structure
Strengths
- S-wave action and big profile attract large predatory fish
- Metal joints and ABS construction handle aggressive takes
- Internal steel balls provide sound and balance for long casts
Trade-offs
- Larger size reduces casting distance on lighter rods
- Slow sinking limits depth control in very deep water
- Black and dark colors may be harder to see and control

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.
