The 3 essential baits every muskie angler needs—and how to fish ’em

#2  GLIDE BAITS

Glide baits are amazing muskie lures, especially on the most difficult waters on the most difficult days. They resemble big, cigar-shaped walk-the-dog topwaters. The difference is, they sink. You simply cast them out, let them descend to the preferred depth, then retrieve them in a side-to-side gliding manner. The Glider (above) from Canada’s MKT Lures is a standout example.
