Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT 7" Pumpkinseed

Metro Glide LT in Pumpkinseed

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

Designed to swim similarly to the original resin version, the LT gives you a glide-swimbait presentation to work through changes in reel cadence. Start with a steady retrieve to learn its rhythm, then mix in short handle turns and brief pauses while watching how the bait responds.

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 lure near the bank or boat before a long cast to see how it responds to different reel speeds.

Begin with steady handle turns and enough line contact to follow the bait without pulling it through every change of direction. Try a brief pause followed by a short reel turn, giving the lure room to respond before changing cadence again.

Work parallel to cover edges where there is an unobstructed retrieve path. When a fish commits and you feel its weight, reel down and make a controlled hookset. Maintain steady pressure during the fight, then check the knot, line, hooks, and joint before your next cast.

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. If replacing hooks or hardware, check that the new components clear the joint and do not change the lure's movement.
