The ima Glider was developed with the input and experience of professional angler and guide Michael Murphy, who wanted a bait that he could fish like a soft jerkbait like the Optimum Victory Tail, but that could also double as a glide bait.
One common theme among baits in this category is that the rear hook is often mounted underneath a molded fin or rudder. This helps to get the bait to run a certain way, but the hookup percentage goes down when fish are swiping at a fast-moving bait. That was considered when Murphy and the team at ima designed this lure.
“Part of what we required was for this to have a hook at the very back of the bait. With baits like this, the bass often miss it and having the hook there helps land more of the fish that swipe at it,” says Murphy.
