Questions & Answers
Straight answers from the Squad on the Rival.
What is the Googan Baits Rival?
The Rival is a single-jointed glide bait built to look like a larger baitfish and catch big bass. Short turns of the reel make it glide in a smooth, S-shaped motion. It has 3X beefy treble hooks and rotating hook hangers to handle big strikes and keep fish pinned. It's 7" and 2.1 oz with #2 hooks. Each pack includes one bait.
How do you fish a glide bait?
Cast it out and use slow, steady turns of the reel handle, or short pulls of the rod, to make the bait glide side to side. Pause it between glides, since big bass often strike when it stops or turns. Watch for followers, and change your speed or add a quick twitch to trigger them to bite. A heavy rod and strong line help land the big fish glide baits attract.
What's the difference between the Glizzy Glide and the Rival?
Both are glide baits built for big bass. The Glizzy Glide is 6" and 1.6 oz with a tight walking glide, and it was designed with swimbait angler Grant Langmore. The Rival is a larger 7", 2.1 oz single-jointed glide bait with a smooth S-shaped glide and 3X treble hooks, made to imitate bigger baitfish.
What are the best Rival colors?
Gizzard Shad matches the shad big bass feed on, and Baby Bass, Crappie and Bluegill imitate other prey fish in many lakes. Bone is a high-visibility choice for stained water and low light.
When and where does the Rival work best?
The Rival shines in clear water, where its smooth side-to-side glide draws big bass from a distance. Fish it in open water, along docks and over grass, especially in the spring, pre-spawn and fall when big fish roam and chase larger prey.
