The Gliding Trout

The Gliding Trout is as close to foolproof as it gets — a lure designed to do the hard work for you. Perfectly balanced, all it takes is a half-turn of the reel handle to make it dance effortlessly in the water.

Unlike other lures, it doesn’t need aggressive jerks to trigger strikes — in fact, smooth retrieves are where it shines. That said, the occasional sharp twitch can send it keeling over on its side, often sealing the deal with following Pike.

Built for performance, the Gliding Trout also casts beautifully with no wobble or spin in the air, giving you accuracy and distance every time. Over the past few years, it has accounted for hundreds of Pike — from jacks to true monsters. I never head out without one in my box.
