ExcellentIve had my 6 inch trick shad for a year now. Amazing action and i got my first double digit on it 3 months ago. The fish love this thing.
Had a small issue with the bait i contacted Mike and he went above and beyond in getting it taken care of. Mike is all over social media helping anyone that asks for help. If you have issues get ahold of him. Im a life long customer because of it. Its rare that companies stand behind their products like this.
Great ChopTook this glide out this weekend and was slaying em! Was a bit worried from what I’ve heard about trebles coming out but they did indeed fix the issue. Glides well and consistent in the water, but chops even better!!
2 lures brokeI do not recommend anyone buys when these swim baits, until they get this problem resolved. My fifteen year old son purchased four of these baits. He had two of them break within the a total of 15 cast of using both the lures. They broke in the exact same spot. Where the tail piece slides in. Reached out to GSM outdoors. Have talked to 3 different people they asked for pictures which I provided, Crickets. It's a shame kid buys $35 lures 2 break immediately then afraid to throw the other two. Because they'll break. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the lure and the customer service that's been provided or lack off.
insane action on dies boysI am using these the rest of my life, so much action for the price and they sink at a good rate but hooks can get stuck on line kinda easy of a bad cast. Ive been using them for a week now and have really good luck with them. I highly recommend to everyone!
AMAZING!I have bought all sizes and they all catch so many fish!
Awesome glideWent out the day after I got it and had a great day on it the only thing is I wish they made it in a 10 in.
Be WaryIt’s a great glide for the price and would be well worth the money except for the quality issues. I recently had mine and have hardly fished it when i took it out of my bag tied it on and noticed the piece holding the tail in was cracked. I casted it once and it came back with half the back piece missing. Will be very hesitant to buy another but would like to considering how good of a bait it is for that price point. Unfortunately, quality issues need to be addressed
I have bought the 6in and 8inIssue with the 6in was the sticking issue. I know that was a easy fix but every now and then i get the sticking issue again. I got rid of it.
I bought the 8in recently, and on the first few casts I noticed it was already taking in water. Such a shame. It's a good-looking bait, but I im not buying his ABS plastic baits anymore. I hope Mike Bucca finds a different manufacturer for his baits. Quality issues need to be addressed.
Filled with water first cast.I threw this sucker (green gizzard) a few times and realized it was just sinking. I inspected it and it was completely filled with water. After doing some research online I read this has been an issue with some of their batches leaking at the hinges. I just emailed thier customer service to see if they will fix or replace it. I’m hesitant to spend another $40 on one that may or may not have the same issue.
Sweet GlideJust the action I was hoping for out of this bait, with nice easy glides. I’ve used 8 of them and did have an issue with one, but Bucca(GSM) customer service sent me a replacement pronto.
For the price being less than half most glides, and with the customer service standing behind it, I will definitely keep making these a major part of my glide bait arsenal. I can literally buy two or three of these for the price of most glides of this caliber. This allows me to afford more colors and match the hatch better.
