Product description
The 3.5" Glide Camaron from KEITECH is a soft plastic shrimp specifically designed for backslide action. Its unique body shape and dense, salted material allow it to glide backward away from the angler on a wide-gap hook with slack line. This unique feature allows you to precisely present the lure under piers, overhanging trees, or water lily beds—exactly where predatory fish like bass, walleye, and pike like to hide. This lets you reach fish that are difficult to target with other rigs!
Advantages
-
Backslide action
Thanks to its special shape and heavy weight, the lure glides backward on a loose line under obstacles. This is perfect for surprising fish in their cover without scaring them away.
-
Long casting distance and weed protection
The high-density material allows for long casts, even without additional weight. The dedicated hook slot protects the hook point and makes the lure extremely weed-free—ideal for fishing in dense vegetation.
-
Sophisticated design
The claws move seductively as the lure sinks and with light tugs, while a small ridge on the head of the lure prevents it from slipping on the hook shank. This ensures a perfect presentation with every cast.
Rigging techniques
-
Weightless (Backslide)
Rig the Glide Camaron on a wide-gap hook without a weight. Cast it close to a structure and immediately give line after it hits the water’s surface. The lure will now glide under the cover on its own.
-
Texas Rig
For deeper waters or faster sinking, you can fish the lure on a Texas rig with a light bullet weight. This way, it retains its gliding ability but reaches the bottom faster.
-
Free Rig
When rigged on a Free Rig, the weight sinks to the bottom first, while the Glide Camaron slowly and seductively trails behind. This method is extremely effective, especially when the fish are sluggish.
FAQ
-
How do I rig the Glide Camaron for the best backslide action?
For maximum backslide effect, rig the lure weightless on a size 3/0 or 4/0 wide-gap hook. Thread the hook through the body so that the point is hidden in the designated pocket on the back of the lure. This is the only way it can glide backward unimpeded.
-
Which color should I choose for which conditions?
For clear water and sunny days, natural colors like “Green Pumpkin” or “Scuppernong” are ideal. In murky water or under overcast skies, contrasting colors like ‘Black’ or eye-catching patterns with chartreuse accents (“Green Pumpkin / Chartreuse”) provide the necessary visibility and entice the fish out of their hiding spots.
-
What sets the Glide Camaron apart from a standard creature bait?
The key difference is the Glide Camaron’s specialized backslide action. Unlike standard creature baits, which typically sink vertically, the Glide Camaron actively glides backward on slack line under cover such as docks or water lilies. This allows you to reach fish in spots that are inaccessible to other lures.
