Tom’s Custom Musky Lures: 5.5" Super Glide

Master the art of the hang with the 5.5" Super Glide from Tom’s Custom Musky Lures. Precision-engineered for the technical musky angler, this hard resin glide bait is a masterclass in durability and finesse. Unlike traditional wood baits that can swell or chip, the Super Glide is virtually indestructible, ensuring it remains perfectly balanced strike after strike.

Weighing in at 3.44 ounces (0.215 lbs), this compact powerhouse is designed for maximum control. Its slow-sinking buoyancy is specifically tuned for clear or pressured waters where a subtle, lifelike presentation is the difference between a follow and a strike.

Engineering Excellence

• Indestructible Hard Resin: Built to take the abuse of "toothy critters," this bait maintains its integrity and action even after seasons of heavy use.

• Custom Double Soft Plastic Tail: The unique dual-tail configuration provides secondary movement and a realistic profile that keeps working even when the bait is at a standstill.

• Premium Hardware: Rigged with two premium treble hooks, this bait is tournament-ready right out of the box.

• Balanced Side-to-Side Action: A perfectly weighted design that delivers a wide, predictable glide with minimal effort.

How to Fish It

The 5.5" Super Glide excels when worked with slight, short pulls or a rhythmic "turn-and-stop" cadence using your reel. While the side-to-side swimming action draws them in, the pause and hang is key. On the stall, the bait lingers in the strike zone, allowing the double soft plastic tails to flutter seductively—a combination muskies find impossible to ignore.

💡 Pro Tip: The "Neutral Buoyancy" Trap

If you have a musky following into the figure-eight, don't just speed up. Because the Super Glide sinks slowly and hangs so well, try a "dead-stick" pause right before you enter your turn. The bait will sit level in the water column while the double tails continue to pulse. This sudden change from a horizontal glide to a hovering, "vibrating" target often triggers the instinctual snap-strike from a hesitant fish.
