Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT 7" Marb Shad

Metro Glide LT in Marb Shad

The Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT brings the handmade Metro Glide design to a production-molded ABS platform. This Marb Shad version measures 7 inches and weighs 2.5 ounces, with a two-piece body and size #2 hooks.

Designed to swim similarly to the original resin version, the LT gives you a glide swimbait to work with reel cadence and pauses. Begin with a steady retrieve, watch its response, and adjust the rhythm as you cover a promising stretch.

How to Fish It

Choose a rod rated to cast a 2.5 oz lure, with line and terminal tackle suited to the setup. Make controlled casts with a clear path behind and beside you. Test the bait beside the bank or boat to learn how it responds before making a long retrieve.

Start with a steady reel cadence, then try brief pauses and short reel turns. Keep enough contact to follow the lure without pulling it through every change of direction. Let the bait's response guide your adjustments rather than relying on one retrieve speed.

Work along cover edges where you have a clear retrieve path. When a fish commits and you feel its weight, reel down and make a controlled hookset. Maintain steady pressure during the fight, and check your knot, line, hooks, and joint after each fish or contact with cover.

Care

Inspect the joint, hooks, and attachment hardware before fishing. After saltwater exposure, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before storage. Secure hooks during transport. When replacing hooks or hardware, check that the new components clear the joint and do not change the lure's movement.
