Controversial New Soft Plastic GLIDE BAIT || Testing Berkley NESSIE (instant response) 

It’s a copy cat bait that’s why

Its gender buoyant

All fishing tackle is Co;py Cat!s

@@Southwest.Anglinglegendary comment

It’s a flaming maggot.

I think they’ll both have their place. Skipping docks is going to be sick with the soft glide.

​@@SBFishingI doubt the Flag will be produced anymore. It's a hot bait, but unless you're into collecting, a professional that requires the minute difference in action, or just have money to burn, nobody is going to pay what will soon be considered "extra" for that action and configuration of a swimbait/glidebait. There simply aren't enough collectors, pros, or wealthy people, in the large swimbait market. That's the problem. If it was something a majority of the bass fishing market consumed, like the chatterbait being in the swim jig category, I can see how Grow Design Works could retain some reasonable amount of market share to stay afloat, internationally at least. But whoever came up with the design and originally invested in it will probably never have another opportunity to produce another game changing design. Why would they? Berkley never even gave them credit where it is really due. We all know reputation establishes a person or company in the sportfishing industry. It doesn't cost anything monetarily to just give credit to the people they're benefiting from. It only sours the reputation of those that refuse, especially after the current controversy only confirms a previously questionable bad reputation. Berkley will profit, no doubt. But everyone else loses from the loss of competition and innovation.

I have the 7in and it’s awesome

I honestly couldn’t get the 7” to swim well at all. I had to put nail weights in the 9, but got it dialed.

Yeah, been waiting to get my hands on one.

Nah I wasn’t out there. I wish!

I could be wrong, but I don’t think DNR would stock musky in this lake. Doesn’t seem favorable for the fish. Again, could be wrong.

still shook

Part of the reason I was so bummed was because I wanted to throw it more. It looked GOOD....not gonna lie

That's exactly where I was, good eye and thanks for filling me in!

So funny, I just caught my first one out there today! Don't think that's what broke me off though.

100% reminds me of a glide version of a Poseidon

Dude, I just saw this the other day after I filmed this. The Ayu Twitch! I don't think it's available in the states yet but could be wrong. I'm gonna try and get one.

@@SBFishing plenty on jpangler

You right you right.

How many GDW Flags you got??? Can I buy one from you?

@@SBFishing lol I've never fished one kinda thought the idea of a soft glide would be a gimmick. I understand the other side too, but damn you seriously gonna sit here and believe that Berkley couldn't have collaborated with Grow so they both are happy? No. Instead they have 🤡's like icanelli (however you spell his damn name) who go on RU-vid and are like look at what ME AND BERKLEY made it was years in the making b.s.

​@@morganvanschuyver I'm not backing berkley whatsoever here, just taking a look at a bait I got from a buddy. I agree with what you're saying. On another note - what makes the concept of a soft glide (regardless of brand) a gimmick? I know for a fact you'll be able to get a soft glide into spots you'll never get a standard glide. Idk, they have always been something of interest once I started fishing glides more.

That’s hilarious. Would did they copy power bait and MaxScent from?

toothy critter probably got it. someone commented that there's pike in that lake.

Of course I did. Just caught 3 small ones the rest of the day and missed 2 on a glide. Nothing much to write home about and I felt I could put this vid together a little simpler without it

Not sure if they've made it down this far yet. I've caught some snakehead further north (potomac river, occoquan rez, etc) but never down here.

You have northern pike there lol they will snap you off fast lol

First time ever breaking 25lb fluoro for me

I agree. I've had nothing but problems with fluro

Fluoro needs to be changed out almost weekly...there's not a controlled stretch with fluoro, so every time it stretches, it weakens...pros use it, as they feel it's more invisible & sensitivity...When it's free, u can do that & have time with no job...in reality, bass couldn't care less about seeing the line...hence, giant treble hooks on swim/glides, wires all over an A rig, etc...many others...big swim/glides, rats, all hard baits...I'm 100% mono & change to fresh line about 3x/year

@@andybales7318 agree with that statement. Lotta good points there! I hate fluro, mono all day baby. Never any problems!

I've never had a problem with fluro

Literally? Carl Icahn owns Berkley Fishing.

There are bowfin in there?! Makes me feel slightly better about breaking whatever that was off.

@@SBFishing yeah they’re pretty rare tho. I’ve only caught one. The pickerel get huge in there. My dad caught one about 5lbs a few years ago

Also always set your drag around the middle not too loose or tight so you can set the hook without so much resistance

Didn't you say you were at smith?

It did!

lmao what

Definitely gonna get one just haven't had the chance. You lost respect for me because I haven't been able to get a bait and film a video using it?

@@SBFishing I bet if you posted on Universe looking for one, you'd be able to get one. No one's forcing you to make a video. You're giving Berkley's ripoff free publicity because you knew it'd get you views when you could have wait to show the Flag first. You can't do that and say you're not choosing sides.

What if I got the megabass Ayu twitch next and made a vid? Still losing your respect or does that not count cause it’s JDM? Also a clear knockoff isn’t if?

@@SBFishing If you did your homework, you'd know that Megabass actually had the Twitcher in development before GDW released theirs. The actual origins of that design is only known to those two companies. And honestly, yes, it would have been better than making a vid with Berkley's. It's cool though, don't worry about me, I don't even know why I left a comment, I'm just a random guy on the internet to you.

The "RECULL" shad better 😂😂😂

@chrisgarcia5462 a million in one month I caught 70 fiah in the same water I fish the magdraft. And I own every size magdraft and every type from the 5 inch to he twictcher amd Raver Asu(Japan only) in ever color. I own every cullshad amd every Spro Megalojohn.

@chrisgarcia5462 the recall not even talking about the fixed version is even better

Nahh...the Magdraft all day

I just wanted to fish it more! 😂

👀👀

Naw man this ain’t cool..

Yeah an extremely small bait company can charge $15 for a glide bait… they can’t use cheep Chinese slave labor to get their materials like berkley…

Spro also knocked off the coverscat pretty hard at the same time.
