New Slide Swimmer 115
The New Slide Swimmer 115 is a small glide bait measuring 11.5 centimetres and weighing 22 grams. It has the same features that have made the larger models so successful, such as its coating, but its shape differs. The shape of this 115 model is more elongated and less wide than the other versions.
What makes the New Slide Swimmer so unique is its skin-like coating. This coating gives the lure exceptional glide, which is crucial for a glide bait to swim and glide properly. This skin is resistant and does not react to other lures, so there's no need to worry about its durability!
When it comes to swimming, it's simply perfect! On paper, it's hard to imagine a glide bait weighing just 22 grams swimming properly, yet this New Slide Swimmer performs more than convincingly.
It's agreed that with its reduced size, the swim won't draw a big, wide S. So it remains rather narrow, but still superb for such a small glide bait.
What's more, its 22 grams allow it to be used with a rod of MH power and above, enabling this lure to be used with a good variety of tackle, without the need for a dedicated rod, as heavier lures require.
The New Slide Swimmer 115 is available in 13 different colors, most of them focusing on realism. These include trout, black-bass, carp and sardine imitations.
Use
The 11.5-centimetre version of this New Slide Swimmer is representative of a very common prey found in many environments.
What's more, the shape it adopts is not the same as that of other lengths. It's more tapered and fits really well with those of small fish, such as bleak, roach or even minnow.
As a result, this lure can be used to fish a wide range of predators, including black bass, pike, trout, sea bass and perch. It is particularly suited to downsizing lures, which is necessary depending on the season, climate or fishing pressure.
My opinion
In the small glide bait category, this New Slide Swimmer 115 is clearly at the top of the class. Its swimming action is totally controlled, and its realistic look will fool even the most wary fish.
