Savage Gear Glide Swimmer

Bummer. I wasn't aware either, however I thought they would have more of a color selection on that bait. 

I read somewhere that there are more colors coming out.  Some time in February they're releasing a baby bass pattern and a shad pattern.

I also seen TW has the Savage line thru now, but they went out of stock pretty fast. Wish they would have been on there when I ordered the Glide a few weeks back I would have picked one up. 

It looks like Monster Tackle has some in stock still, I ordered some from them a couple of days ago.

The line thru will have more colors released in february. I've been able to fish the glide swimmer for almost 2 months now. from what i can tell its a little heavier then id like and the joint is a little too free. makes it a little harder to control. don't get me wrong its a nice bait but i still favor my s waver over it

Basshole- When you say heavier are you referring to overall weight when throwing it or do you mean it sinks faster than you'd like? I know it says slow sink but can you put it in perspective to a Hudd? Is it similar to say a ROF 5? Thanks buddy for any info. 

It is heavier both weight and sink rate on thr rof system i would probably rate it at rof 7-9. Its just too much free movement in the tail for me jerk a little too hard and it spins 360 and fouls and its not as easy to keep in a desired depth range through out the cast. it may just be that I'm not quite adjusted to how it fishes yet though

I wanna try that double darter rig, BAAAAAD. It almost looks like a recoil rig. If they can resist that, Ill just quit.

I've seen that it does look like it'd be killer on summer bass around docks

Anyone know how to set that up so it reacts like the video? It wasnt very clear as to how that happens like that.

their new line through soft swimbait looks great, but TW only has in trout pattern.  I'll need the baby bass around here

supposedly they're releasing more colors in late February

Found a video comparing the swimming action of the Savage gear glide swimmer, R2S s-waver, and a Gan Craft joint claw.

Thanks for finding that Branden.  I think the action on the Savage isn't all that bad to be honest.  I like the more erratic movements. It's not as fluid as a Jointed Claw but for a 3rd of the cost, I could live with that. What I didn't particularly like was the sink rate but perhaps its good to know and use that in a situation you want the bait down a little quicker.  I think any 3 of these baits are worth while to have.  I only have 2 S-Wavers, so I'll probably try a Savage next.  If I can get a deal on a JC, i'd certainly entertain it but paying MSRP just isn't happening for me right now.

When are they going to release more swaver 200's

According to info from another forum source. Late Spring 2014 the 200's should be restocked. I'm unsure of this Pike color, I saw this on R2Sea Europes facebook.  

How much did the S-wavers 200 cost? I must have been living in a hole when they were released. And does anyone know someone who has fished one?

On R2S site they're $36.74. Nothing is available right now. That price jump is quite big from the smaller version. I do not know anyone that has one or fished it.

Thanks Mark. I seen they were 36 on R2S but with the price jump thought maybe they were sold cheaper elsewhere. Guess I'll keep my eye out for some reviews and water testing this spring.

Hopefully they have similar action to some of the higher $ larger baits. Even at 36 that's way better than 100+. Wouldn't feel so bad if/when that snot rocket bit me off.

Thought I'd let you guys know TW has a few of the S-waver 200's in stock. Light trout, Firetiger, and Party Crasher.
