Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT 7" Rose Gill

Metro Glide LT in Rose Gill

The Throwback Baits Metro Glide LT brings the original handmade Metro Glide's design to a production-molded ABS platform. This Rose Gill version measures 7 inches and weighs 2.5 ounces, with a two-piece body for glide-bait presentations.

The LT is designed to swim similarly to the original resin version while using ABS construction. Work it with a steady retrieve to establish a rhythm, then experiment with pauses and changes in cadence as you cover a promising stretch.

How to Fish It

Use a rod rated to cast a 2.5 oz lure, with line and terminal tackle suited to your setup. Make controlled casts with room behind and beside you, and check the lure's movement close to the bank or boat before beginning a long retrieve.

Start with a steady reel cadence to learn how the bait responds. Add brief pauses or short reel turns, keeping enough contact to follow its movement without pulling it through every change of direction. Adjust your pace after watching the lure rather than relying on one retrieve speed.

Work parallel to 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. Keep steady pressure during the fight, and check your knot, line, and hooks 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. Keep hooks secured during transport. If replacing hooks or hardware, check that the new components do not interfere with the joint or change the lure's movement.
