A lot of glide bait makers slap a paint job on one mold and let you figure out how to use it. Every Clutch glide bait is built for a specific job - here's how to know which one to tie on.
The OG: precision around cover
The OG is an aggressive, chopping-style bait built around user input - the more efficient you are with it, the more control you get in tight situations. Its main job is fishing shallow laydowns: pitching it into tight, accurate spots and walking it around limbs and cover on the way back to the boat. This is the bait for when you need to work a specific piece of structure - working it around a limb sticking out, avoiding a snag at the last possible second, and making it look like a baitfish running for cover.
The Darter: speed and reaction
The Darter doesn't have the low-end, slow-speed presence of the OG or the Boss, but it's the fastest bait in the lineup. Originally built around herring lakes, it excels anywhere fish are aggressive and reactionary - working it fast down docks to pull spotted bass out from under front floats, or ripping it across shallow points where fish are roaming during a herring spawn. Because you're working it fast rather than making long, controlled casts, a higher gear ratio - 8:1 to 10:1 - makes sense here, since you want more inches per turn to keep up with the retrieve.
The Boss: calling up big, pressured fish
The Boss is the monster-hunting bait - built for big fish, even ones that see a lot of pressure. A go-to application is working offshore brush: casting a long bomb across a brush pile sitting in five feet of water topping out three feet below the surface, then slow-rolling the bait two to three feet above the pile. The Boss's drawing power and thin profile call fish up out of the brush rather than needing to get the bait down into it - you're covering water and trying to pull big fish up to investigate, not fishing tight to structure.
Putting it together
Fast, reactive water (herring lakes, aggressive summer fish, docks and points) - reach for the Darter. Big, pressured fish holding on offshore brush you need to call up - reach for the Boss. Tight, technical cover where precision and boat position matter most - reach for the OG. Three different tools, three different jobs.
