{"product_id":"swimbait-republic-glideway-176","title":"Glideway 176","description":"\u003cp\u003eSwimbait Republic is a specialist brand focused entirely on crafting high-quality swimbaits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Action, Versatile Retrieve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eSwimbait Republic Glideway 176\u003c\/em\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-piece swimbait\u003c\/strong\u003e that also crosses into glidebait territory, depending on how you work it. On a straight retrieve it produces the classic S-shaped swimming action, snaking through the water with convincing life. Start twitching or jerking it, however, and the gliding characteristics really come into their own. You can \u003cstrong\u003evary the retrieve enormously\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003efast or slow, hard jerks or gentle twitches, with or without pauses - and any combination of these\u003c\/span\u003e. Swimbait Republic have paid close attention to ensuring it is \u003cstrong\u003eprecisely balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it not only moves with a natural action on the move but also sits convincingly during rest phases. The \u003cem\u003eSwimbait Republic Glideway 176\u003c\/em\u003e was designed to tempt even the largest and most cautious predators, with \u003cstrong\u003epike and largemouth bass\u003c\/strong\u003e as the primary targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariability Wins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of the box, the \u003cem\u003eSwimbait Republic Glideway 176\u003c\/em\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003eslow floating model\u003c\/strong\u003e - it rises slowly when you pause the retrieve. There are plenty of situations, though, where suspending or even slow sinking is more effective: when fish are holding deep, for instance, or when you're fishing from an elevated position and the lure ends up tracking near the surface. To cover these scenarios, \u003cstrong\u003e2 lead stickers are included\u003c\/strong\u003e, which can be fitted at the two marked positions on the belly. \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOne sticker converts the slow floater into a suspender; with 2 stickers it becomes a slow sinker\u003c\/span\u003e. This lets you reach \u003cstrong\u003edepths of up to 4 m\u003c\/strong\u003e to get in front of fish holding down deep. Being able to adapt to conditions catches more fish - variability wins. Worth remembering, too: water density increases in winter, which can cause a suspender to start floating. The lead stickers let you compensate for this as well. Replacement stickers are available to buy separately, so losing one is no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInterchangeable Tail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tail of the \u003cem\u003eSwimbait Republic Glideway 176\u003c\/em\u003e is made from silicone, while the body is constructed from ABS plastic. The standout feature of the tail is that it is \u003cstrong\u003einterchangeable\u003c\/strong\u003e. Spare tails are available to buy in various colours, giving you the option to \u003cstrong\u003emix and match colour combinations\u003c\/strong\u003e and find out what works best for you. Swimbait Republic specifically recommend removing the tail for storage. Although it is made from \u003cstrong\u003every robust, deformation-resistant silicone\u003c\/strong\u003e, taking it off reduces the risk of deformation even further. You should also avoid storing the lure alongside oily soft plastics, as the oil can lift the printed design on the back of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e: the lure is supplied complete with hooks and a spare tail.
