Is this the HOTTEST Technique in Fishing?!? Chop Glide: BAITSANITY Chimera
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 07. 2023
- The hottest technique in fishing right now is glide bait fishing, and specifically a type of swimbait lure called a chop glide. You might have heard of the Spro Chad Shad - and how you can't find them anywhere? That's it! We try out the new Baitsanity Chimera swimbait. An all purpose glide designed to allow anglers to chop glide along with other type of swimbait fishing.

Great video! I'm seeing more of these on the budget end and have been cautious about getting sucked in to adding these to my bait collection. This video gives me a bit more confidence in taking the dive. Always great Mikey!
Mikey I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for continuing to make GREAT content because a lot of the people I follow are not making anything on CZcams anymore,yourself Mr Bog and Swimsuit model are awesome ❤🤙
Hey man thanks for watching I know you've been on the balzz road for quite a while I appreciate all the support stay tuned we're going to mix stuff up a little bit even more
I’m 100% in agreement with @kenmccarthyfishing ‘s assessment. Ballz always comes with the heat! Thanks as well Mikey
@@adwhite804 thank you brother for your kind words ❤️👊
You make some of the best content Mikey, it's always in depth, and like you're talking with a friend !
I think it makes it easy to retain the information !
Thanks Dude !
Oh it's pronounced ky may ra !
Heck yeah dude. I've used weights like that, and of all sizes, to balance my glide in the sink. Still learning a lot when it comes to balancing, balasting, and tuning, from mistakes along the way, as well as watching numerous amounts of videos. Can't wait to get one over to you. Glad you're loving the technique!
What up brotha! Ive been "busy" doing some "R+D" proof of concept...."stuff", myself. I've been using tungsten putty on my front hook. But mostly catching some monster reservoir stripers and pig LMBs on anything I can (yeah, i'm totally not being professional about it, and being too random). The inside of my car looks like Omnia, Tackle Warehouse, and Bait-WRX partied too hard and puked all over the interior. I cant even let anyone ride with me because i've got loose hooks everywhere! I've literally been trying to fish everyday the last four weeks. Since the water temps finally dropped, the shad are finally taking a long break, and the "Bigs" are starting to scatter, so I finally get to take a break too! For a little bit anyway. They'll be planting rainbow trout in a bout a month or two.
Made a lot of mistakes in the beginning too, but learned from them, fortunately. Not a single costly backlash all season. lol.
I'm even being haunted by this +/- 10 pounder that broke me off right at the bank, two weeks ago. i even jumped in to grab it, but i messed up and tried to bear hug it. It easily slipped away out of my arms and between my legs. Along with my favorite spinnerbait still solidly pinned in its mouth. I tried to land it too fast and i had my drag cranked too high for the 30lb braid I was using. it shook its head and probably had plenty of tail leverage against the rocks it was laying across.
So I switched to 50lb braid, using 20lb big game for a leader, and immediately backing off the drag after a good hook set. Then I let them wear themselves down, letting them peel just enough line, so i'm not ripping out any hooks or making them go crazy by rushing them too soon. Works fine on some of the biggest land locked striper I've ever caught.
Here's the crazy part (seriously), I'm pretty sure that pig came back and tried to eat another one of my spinnerbaits this past Thursday. No kidding around. Same spot, same exact make and model, same retrieve... but a much more insulting response from it, IMO. At the end of my retrieve, just as my spinnerbait was about to leave the water for another cast, a big brownish green head appeared and literally chomps on it. But it missed the hook and ended up biting the larger #5 willow leaf blade off the end of my Spinner Bait! It hit really hard with a sharp impact. I over reacted when trying to set the hook... My spinnerbait comes shooting past my left knee, then into a large rock. When I inspect it, the last willow leaf blade, along with most of its swivel is completely missing! The only difference was that my trailer was half an inch shorter.
I wish I was making it up. Ive never seen anything like that ever happen!
I'll be waiting for it to come back next week, that's for sure! till then i'm gonna be playing around with my Anycubic Photon Resin 3D Printer. It's still sitting in its box since February! lol! (have to brush up on my Shaper3D commands.)
tight lines!
Super cool video man. Good tips on the weight. Looked like a blast!
Great video. Bait looks awesome. I caught my new PB last summer on a cheap glide that I modified. Super expensive glides are NOT needed. Secret's out! Gonna buy that one. Thanks
Liked the new cost effective glide bait. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the review, looks like a good one to add to my line-up . The Dobyns 795 is a great rod for those baits in the 2 to 3-1/2 oz range, been using it for years. I also like the Storm Arashi Glide, that one is another versatile budget swimbait that has caught me a lot of big ones .
I bought a Jenko Savant a few weeks ago and it is a fairly decent rod for the price. I use the Tatula 150-200’s on my swim and glide bait rods, really great reels for the price. I love throwing glides, the ferocity of the strikes are extremely addictive.
Awesome video! I've been getting crushed on big multi-jointed swimbaits lately. Sunfish and bluegill patterns have been money. It's funny when they hit that bait like it owes them money and you bring it back to the boat and see it's a dink that's smaller than the bait.
Love that rod.. I love all the fury lineup
That’s a dope rod reel combo! Gots the same ine
Ordered two to try. Have a couple KGB Chads and few other popular models but am slowly learning deeper water fishing these things.
Glides work from the bank so i can only imagine with electronics so congrats bro 🙌 some people are scared to learn new stuff but wonder why they dont catch bigs 😅
That’s a great looking bait . I’m trying to throw glides and swimbaits more ( just hard putting down confidence baits ) Great content as always
especially when the bigs are biting on them. i know what you mean.
Thanks. I tried some of the SixSense Glides. I did relatively good.
Check out Milliken's CZcams vid on how to Alter the Six Sense glides . Works great 👍
Love this content
I have that same Dobyn’s rod and it is awesome! You should get a 6th Sense Flow glider and do the Milliken Mod to it because they are $25 and after you mod it it is the best chop glide I have ever used!
I only have a Milliken swimbait rod but it works very well
I love dobyns rods they're great
Dude you sold me the whole seat but I only needed the edge! Sh!t got me going, I’ve been wanting to try this glide game, thanks brother 🎣
Hell yeah man I'm not saying I'm good at it in any manner but it was fun hit my buddy Jacob or Bo up they are the true gurus
@@mikeybalzz I watch him on the MLF tournament and he smashes 🎣
Mikey,
Have been experimenting with some different glide baits. Have been struggling, do well with swim baits. Thanks for the info it all helps. Gotta get my hands on one of the chop style baits. Apparently they work best this time of the year.
You da man….
Hope you have gotten some of these by now! They freakin' work. You can not fish them wrong, they will not blow out at any speed. Chop them aroudn cover and hang on!

I finally got my hands on some Chimera's. I will simply say "They work amazingly" Easiest glide bait I have ever thrown. Does not blow out like so many others, burn it, long glide it, chop it in place it just freakin' works.
Good video mikey!
Thanks bud!
What's the added lead weight called? Awesome video!!
Just picked up a Passenger from 86 Baits, does a really good job at slow sinking and staying in the strike zone once you get it there right out of the package. Worth checking out.
Also, throwing it on the 7’8” Cashion Swimbait rod with an Abu STX. Super smooth!
Great vid, love your excitement and results. So when are you headed south?
Very shortly
Dude, I’m really surprised that you don’t throw big baits more. Since I went to the Swimbait Universe gathering back in April, I’ve been bit with the bug, I feel you on not wanting to pay 300 for a “boutique bait” though. The mass produced stuff fishes and catches just as well. One of the tips that I was given has helped me a lot though is “reel pops” it’s more about the reel pops than the rod twitches with a lot of glides. Try that and it’ll chop smoother than rod twitches
How to do reel pops?
How fun! What is the brand of the hook hanger weight?
Watching that makes me want to go fishing
I've had my eye on these for a second.
Yeah in the summer you can target singles but if they arent in the mood they will just keep swimming. Ive been trying to get behind a ffs unit with my baits with no luck. Lost a 9 at the local public state lake a couple weeks ago due to having mono spooled up 🤦 got some red label on there now ✊
@mikeyballz fishing What are some lures you would recommend for florida bank fishing ponds and rivers and the colors you would recommend using? Any advice and suggestions are highly appreciated
I think I spent $336 for my Imx966 with a 300diawa , 25lb cxx . Been super happy throwing Rafa joey shad to 8in mag.
Dope !!!!
Nice. I will have one.
They are completely out of every single color on Tackle Warehouse already
Dang! I had that body cavity neutral buoyancy idea too!
Got one on order.
That is one good looking glide in the water. That secondary action with that softer brush style tail is super sexy
Sold out at TW.
Hey Bog!
The "God, dude" in slomo on that big follow made me laugh so hard
🤣
Maybe after knowing so many pros switch out the hooks maybe u would think the companies that make the baits would catch on
nice... did you ever see the baits i painted for baitsainty?
Thanks!
Appreciate you bro!
@@mikeybalzz I appreciate you keeping it real. Love the videos
@@syracuse4453 👊
What is that GoPro mount on your dash? Can you send me the link? Also what about the pole at the rear deck on the pole stand for you go pro? Do you have that link too? Or what it is called? Thanks!
Cool technique. Im gonna try this in the creek around beds!! Lost a biggun on the 7.75 baitfuel mega bopper swim worm. She smoked it, and 2 times around the boat, then 1 last drag smokin surge under the boatside and she popped the hook.....Im.still experimenting, and getting big bites, during early, and mid day bite windows.but lost 2 bigguns in the past week. I LEARNED FROM MIKEYBALZZ...NOT TO SPIN OUT... stay focused,and try to convert those few bites into great catches.go MBRF!💥🤙
I wish I was out fishing with you!!!!!! You're AWSOME!!!!!
Videos like this are going to have me buying forward facing sonar way sooner than I intended. When I’m broke as a joke, I’m blaming you.
Get it 😁
Hey Miley, those bass have a slime coat to protect them. KEEP THEM OFF THE CARPET!
What lake is this?
Gotta take the weight off here in Michigan, no weight allowed directly attached to the hook
you actually want the smallest hooks you can get away with the theory is downsize to upsize
meaning downsize your terminal tackle on your glides to upsize your bites
Solid tip I didn't know that
@@mikeybalzz look up working class zero dude out of california he knows a thing or two about swimbaits lol
I am getting old. An $80 bait is affordable now? Great video Mike.
In this case even though I know it's surprising relatively speaking this style of bait can run upwards of $250
More popular than the FWD-facing sonar technique?
I mean it pretty much is a forward facing sonar technique.
@@mikeybalzz It was a tongue in cheek reply. LOL, all good, my friend. Keep up the great vids.
@@computerguy1724 bro I am so tone-deaf LOL
There are tons of glide baits under $50 bucks. You're crazy to pay more than that. I try to use ones that are wire thru and i only fish for trophy river and lake stripers. Gotta shop around
Start using a net and an unhookingmat so the fish dont get damaged flopping around the deck...
👍🔥
Dang! I had that open cavity buoyancy idea last year. i'm just kidding myself. Every time i think i'm going to get serious and at least file for IP rights, I find another Self Fulfilling Prophesy as an excuse to buy more gear! lol!
Muskie fishermen have been using these baits for at least the mid 20th century. Bass guys are finally catching on🤣
Kigh-meer-uh Mikey!
I know I know 😂
Tackle warehouse Out of stock. They are 80 bucks a pop too
Awesome Video! Looks like you had a good Time. My Son want to start Swim bait fishing on our channel
I want to try glides so bad but can't bring myself to buy a dedicated rod for them. They're just so damn pricey.
On the dedicated rod subject, would you be better off throwing these on a cheap musky rod or just the heaviest bass rod you already have? I saw Cabela's/Bass Pro has a musky rod that is suitable for glide lure weights, like 2 - 6 oz, for $40 but it's pretty dang still and not parabolic bending. IDK if it's worth getting or not.
This thing looks so much better than an s waver underwater. S waver has a lot of front to back rocking with each twitch and has a tendency to roll a little bit. This bait has a way more natural glide to it.
I'll just stick with the swerve glide bait, $80 is too much!
Whats your pb? 😂
$80 is pretty cheap in the glide world.
@@JS-oy6nn he never grinded rock with a tiny klash and hooked a giant. No dollar can buy that moment bro
@@ReactionGiantsTK&K9 is such a sick bait
@@kylebobolts740 for the price they are legit
"Shimira" lol.
Yeah my buddy tagged me on that, I don't know how to talk 😂
Hmmm … not sure $80 is that much better than $300. … lol. I think I’ll stick with my River to sea S wavers. 18 bucks and I know they already catch fish but since TW is sold out of every one I don’t need to worry … 👽👽
I can't wait until Tesla starts making baits. 😊
Pay Mikey comment
Chop glide. Mine do that. Then 10000 more were made.
Pronounced kymeera
That was weak........,...
Do it without the livescope is actually impressive that way. It says zero about the bait when you're able to put it directly in the fish's face like that because of your livescope.
Look out guys it's the new hottest technique till next week
I just want to vent my frustration to all you mercury guys. I bought a 2022 Tracker 190 T X Tournament edition. With a Mercury 115 xs pro. Had the boat 1 year 2 months. 1st week I had it the wheel berings came out of it. Warranty covers. 2 months later ignition switch go's bad. Warranty covers it. Now my ecu has gone out. Warranty coverage. What pisses me off I had app this past Tuesday. This is now Thursday. He just called and told me he just found the problem and all the things he checked. That he put in 10 hours of Warranty work to mercury. So he's waiting on their approval then order part and probably be next week or week after before its ready. Wtf.!! You can't tell me a certified mercury tec. Took 10 frigging hours to find this problem. I believe if anyone takes a boat to dealer and their problem is Warranty covers. They milk the hell out of it. It's free money on labor and it's bullshit to the customer. I have bass tournaments every Friday nite. Does anyone else feel like I do???? Sorry but I have to get this out there. Thanks and tight lines everyone!!
