Savage Gear, known for its commitment to providing high-quality fishing gear, has introduced a groundbreaking upgrade to its glide bait lineup with the Shine Glide Pro. This enhanced model has generated buzz in the fishing community due to its unique features aimed at improving performance and increasing angler success.
Located in Columbia, South Carolina, Savage Gear has focused on delivering a bait that not only captures the attention of fish but provokes them into striking. "With the Shine Glide Pro, we set out to create a bait that doesn’t just get noticed; it demands a reaction from the fish," said Jared Kutil, the Product Manager for Savage Gear. This brand-new model boasts a wide-glide swimming action complemented by a redesigned tail, which together enhance casting performance and stability in the water.

One of the standout features of the Shine Glide Pro is its ability to produce a side-to-side gliding motion during a steady retrieve. By merely twitching the rod tip while letting the line go slack, anglers can create an erratic darting action. Kutil added, "It’s also perfect for both the kayak anglers sitting down or fishermen that want a jerkbait-style darting action, at a deeper depth than a jerkbait dives to."
This versatile bait not only alleviates the worries of missed opportunities but also excels in attracting various game fish. Available in four sizes, the Shine Glide Pro caters to a wide array of fishing preferences. Whether chasing after a big bass during tournaments or attempting to catch a trophy musky, this glide bait is designed for success.

The lure’s design incorporates lifelike photo print color patterns and a perfectly balanced slow sink rate, which helps turn follows into strikes. "Every detail, from the 3D baitfish scan and hyper-realistic photo-printed finishes to the super-sticky hooks and rotating hook hangers, is built to give anglers the confidence to know that when the bait is presented in front of a fish, it’s going to commit," said Kutil.
