Q&A
Larger bass, pike, and muskies often prefer a larger meal. Invite them to dinner by sending out our Bass Pro Shops® XPS® Boss Glide Swimbait. This slow-sinking, smooth-swimming lure specifically targets big fish as it glides along, searching side-to-side on a straight retrieve. For more urgent presentations, a few rod pops and twitches will make the Boss Glide dart erratically, like a baitfish in trouble, then glide to a rest. Its 3D texture and finish, drawn from nature, look incredibly realistic in the water; and its equipped with premium black-nickel hooks, including a T-shaped belly hook that rides tight to the body without nicking the finish.

Not bad for the priceI bought the 6 and 1/4 in swimbait in rainbow trout color because in the first week of January in most public park ponds of Texas, they stock trout for people to catch. They normally stock a thousand or more rainbow trout ranging from 8-12 inches in a couple of ponds near my home town and some ponds in the metroplex, like Dallas, Grand Prairie, etc. All through the month of March, you'll see rainbows dying or floating sub surface. Which is an excellent time to throw this bait.
Pros:
It does a nice, wide S swim through the water when slowing retrieving.
It has a subtle sink.
Very realistic in clear to stained or murky water.
Cons:
The manufacturing of this bait varies, so go to your local bass pro shops and exam the bait through the package to make sure there aren't any factory flaws or deformities so the action of your bait isn't affected.
Jerking or twitching the bait causes it to nose dive. (which can be bad or good depending how the fish want it)
It does spin when you make a long cast, but it doesn't helicopter like some glide baits.
Other than that, it's really alright for a beginner glide bait, and it doesn't break the bank if you break it off. I use 25lb trilene big game mono because it keeps it up in the water column, but I'm sure you can keep it up in any part of the water column regardless of the type of line you use. You'll just have to speed up or slow down your retrieve. Hope this helps for the people who go straight to reviews before purchasing a bait.

I like itMe and my buddy bought a couple and some float which i like, I fish alot of big glide baits and you can tell this is an s waver but I like this bait more because of the sink rate.The first time we fished them it was unreal how many fish we caught on it,at one point i watched my buddy catch a fish on 5 casts in a row.This is a good bait you just need to figure out how to fish it because it takes practice,use pops of your reel to make it dart side to side.

Not Impressed.I bought 2 of these on a tip from a friend. 1st one worked great for a little while and actually had 2 big largemouth roll up on it-- then it started leaking water and sank like a rock. I tied on the 2nd one and it only swam hard to the right... not the advertised s pattern. They would probably catch fish if the quality was there....

Filled with water, lopsided swimming.Used about 10 outings. Looked great, caught couple small fish on it. Great action, but on the 3rd or 4th outing I realized it had water getting inside of the bait, it still worked good, however sunk faster. On the last couple outings, the lure swam sideways, or simply not at all.

Some good, some bad.Reviewing the .8 oz version in Hitch color. This lure looks just fabulous! But either the quality control is iffy or somebody forgot to tell the Boss Glide it was supposed to sink as mine floats. It has to be reeled in at a moderate speed to stay submerged between 6 inches and a foot underwater.
At that speed, I find the action to be exaggerated, with the lure swinging wildly; that does produce a lot of flash, which can be a good thing, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
It casts reasonably well, but helicopters occasionally, as is to be expected for a segmented lure.
The hooks aren’t really sharp in my view, but I’m a bit of a maniac in that respect.

Can't beat for the price!This glide bait is awesome. The side to side action is very realistic. I knocked out one star because it seems to fall to it's side when I pop the rod but, if you're just reeling it in, the action is phenomenal! I was wading yesterday and there were times when I would look away as I'm retrieving the Boss Glide and would mistake it for an actual fish. I did catch a bass with it but it was a dink. The lure was bigger than the catch! When casting, it seems to be inconsistent. There were times when I could launch this thing way out there and then other time, it just spins in the air and not get much distance. It could just be though, however, it makes quite a splash when it lands in the water. Back to the point, at this price, its very hard to beat. I also have a few Savage glide baits that cost twice as much and I don't think they look as good as these ones. The looks on this lure is killer but, only time will tell how durable these lures are. The paint already chipped off close by the tail but its very minor. The only bad thing is that the stock is very limited. I was only able to find ONE (hitch) at my local BassPro since my order online has been on back order for almost a month. There were 2 trout patterns left but it was not what I was looking for. Looking to catch some giants on this! Kudos to BassPro!
