Swimbait Republic Glideway 176: Glidebait for Pike, 17.6 cm / 80 g

The Swimbait Republic Glideway 176 is a multi-species glidebait built to trigger big, cautious fish. It glides slowly and realistically and settles into a natural position the moment you pause. That is where most of the takes come.

It is balanced to fish at any speed and on any retrieve: fast and steady, super slow and steady, walking the dog, twitching, heavy sweeps. Fish it as a plain cast and retrieve or freestyle it, and it holds its action either way.

Depth is up to you. The lure is slow floating out of the box. Fill the first cavity with a weight sticker and it becomes suspending. Fill the second as well and it turns into a slow sinker. That puts it anywhere from the surface down to about 3.7 m.

• Pike fishing with big lures on a baitcaster
