The hottest technique in fishing right now is glide bait fishing, and specifically a type of swimbait lure called a chop glide. You might have heard of the Spro Chad Shad – and how you can’t find them anywhere? That’s it! We try out the new Baitsanity Chimera swimbait. An all purpose glide designed to allow anglers to chop glide along with other type of swimbait fishing.

Great video! I'm seeing more of these on the budget end and have been cautious about getting sucked in to adding these to my bait collection. This video gives me a bit more confidence in taking the dive. Always great Mikey!
Thanks for the review, looks like a good one to add to my line-up . The Dobyns 795 is a great rod for those baits in the 2 to 3-1/2 oz range, been using it for years. I also like the Storm Arashi Glide, that one is another versatile budget swimbait that has caught me a lot of big ones .
What's the added lead weight called? Awesome video!!
Nice. I will have one.
Maybe after knowing so many pros switch out the hooks maybe u would think the companies that make the baits would catch on
Great video. Bait looks awesome. I caught my new PB last summer on a cheap glide that I modified. Super expensive glides are NOT needed. Secret's out! Gonna buy that one. Thanks
Muskie fishermen have been using these baits for at least the mid 20th century. Bass guys are finally catching on🤣
Love this content
@mikeyballz fishing What are some lures you would recommend for florida bank fishing ponds and rivers and the colors you would recommend using? Any advice and suggestions are highly appreciated
That’s a dope rod reel combo! Gots the same ine
Yeah in the summer you can target singles but if they arent in the mood they will just keep swimming. Ive been trying to get behind a ffs unit with my baits with no luck. Lost a 9 at the local public state lake a couple weeks ago due to having mono spooled up 🤦 got some red label on there now ✊
I only have a Milliken swimbait rod but it works very well
Hmmm … not sure $80 is that much better than $300. … lol. I think I’ll stick with my River to sea S wavers. 18 bucks and I know they already catch fish but since TW is sold out of every one I don’t need to worry … 👽👽
I want to try glides so bad but can't bring myself to buy a dedicated rod for them. They're just so damn pricey.
Dude, I’m really surprised that you don’t throw big baits more. Since I went to the Swimbait Universe gathering back in April, I’ve been bit with the bug, I feel you on not wanting to pay 300 for a “boutique bait” though. The mass produced stuff fishes and catches just as well. One of the tips that I was given has helped me a lot though is “reel pops” it’s more about the reel pops than the rod twitches with a lot of glides. Try that and it’ll chop smoother than rod twitches
Awesome video! I've been getting crushed on big multi-jointed swimbaits lately. Sunfish and bluegill patterns have been money. It's funny when they hit that bait like it owes them money and you bring it back to the boat and see it's a dink that's smaller than the bait.
That is one good looking glide in the water. That secondary action with that softer brush style tail is super sexy
I have that same Dobyn’s rod and it is awesome! You should get a 6th Sense Flow glider and do the Milliken Mod to it because they are $25 and after you mod it it is the best chop glide I have ever used!
Pay Mikey comment
"Shimira" lol.
I think I spent $336 for my Imx966 with a 300diawa , 25lb cxx . Been super happy throwing Rafa joey shad to 8in mag.
Great vid, love your excitement and results. So when are you headed south?
They are completely out of every single color on Tackle Warehouse already
Watching that makes me want to go fishing
YouTube is an Antiamerican Marxist platform that should shut down. I will post this statement on all my subs. Rumble is much better.
Videos like this are going to have me buying forward facing sonar way sooner than I intended. When I’m broke as a joke, I’m blaming you.
The "God, dude" in slomo on that big follow made me laugh so hard
Mikey,
Have been experimenting with some different glide baits. Have been struggling, do well with swim baits. Thanks for the info it all helps. Gotta get my hands on one of the chop style baits. Apparently they work best this time of the year.
You da man….
That’s a great looking bait . I’m trying to throw glides and swimbaits more ( just hard putting down confidence baits ) Great content as always
you actually want the smallest hooks you can get away with the theory is downsize to upsize
meaning downsize your terminal tackle on your glides to upsize your bites
Dude you sold me the whole seat but I only needed the edge! Sh!t got me going, I’ve been wanting to try this glide game, thanks brother 🎣
I am getting old. An $80 bait is affordable now? Great video Mike.
I just want to vent my frustration to all you mercury guys. I bought a 2022 Tracker 190 T X Tournament edition. With a Mercury 115 xs pro. Had the boat 1 year 2 months. 1st week I had it the wheel berings came out of it. Warranty covers. 2 months later ignition switch go's bad. Warranty covers it. Now my ecu has gone out. Warranty coverage. What pisses me off I had app this past Tuesday. This is now Thursday. He just called and told me he just found the problem and all the things he checked. That he put in 10 hours of Warranty work to mercury. So he's waiting on their approval then order part and probably be next week or week after before its ready. Wtf.!! You can't tell me a certified mercury tec. Took 10 frigging hours to find this problem. I believe if anyone takes a boat to dealer and their problem is Warranty covers. They milk the hell out of it. It's free money on labor and it's bullshit to the customer. I have bass tournaments every Friday nite. Does anyone else feel like I do???? Sorry but I have to get this out there. Thanks and tight lines everyone!!
Awesome Video! Looks like you had a good Time. My Son want to start Swim bait fishing on our channel
Dope !!!!
Good video mikey!
Sold out at TW.
Hey Bog!
I bought a Jenko Savant a few weeks ago and it is a fairly decent rod for the price. I use the Tatula 150-200’s on my swim and glide bait rods, really great reels for the price. I love throwing glides, the ferocity of the strikes are extremely addictive.
nice… did you ever see the baits i painted for baitsainty?
👍🔥
Kigh-meer-uh Mikey!
Glides work from the bank so i can only imagine with electronics so congrats bro 🙌 some people are scared to learn new stuff but wonder why they dont catch bigs 😅
Mikey I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for continuing to make GREAT content because a lot of the people I follow are not making anything on YouTube anymore,yourself Mr Bog and Swimsuit model are awesome ❤🤙
Tackle warehouse Out of stock. They are 80 bucks a pop too
Heck yeah dude. I've used weights like that, and of all sizes, to balance my glide in the sink. Still learning a lot when it comes to balancing, balasting, and tuning, from mistakes along the way, as well as watching numerous amounts of videos. Can't wait to get one over to you. Glad you're loving the technique!
