The ima Glide was developed with the input and experience of professional angler and guide Michael Murphy, who wanted a bait that he could fish like a soft jerkbait like the Optimum Victory Tail, but that could also double as a glide bait.

One common theme among baits in this category is that the aer hook is ofen mounted underneath a molded fin or rudder. This helps to get the bait to ru a cerain way, but the hookup percentage goes down when fish are swiping at a fast-moving bait. That was considered when Murphy and the team at ima designed this lure.
